Recruiting is a cycle, and the name of the game is to recycle. In recruiting, candidates will become clients and at some point, often turn back into candidates. It is not unusual for a tenured recruiter to place the same candidate three or four times throughout their career. Likewise, clients often turn into candidates. When a client works with us and sees the effort and passion we have in placing candidates they will remember that when it comes time for them to seek out new employment.

THE VALUE WE ADD

We are always looking for new ways to add value to our clients and candidates through the services we provide. One of the most common ways we do that is through information to the extent that some people consider us to be Information Brokers.

INFORMATION

Regardless if we provide staffing or recruitment solutions to a client the relationship we have with them does not stop at the placement. Clients view us as market experts and will regularly turn to us for information pertaining to market trends, salary rates, hiring strategies and even internal issues to see if we can help.

RESUME RECOMMENDATIONS

Reviewing resumes for candidates is done on a regular basis and throughout this process, we are always happy to make improvement recommendations. Using the experience gained in this industry, you will have the insider knowledge as to what may be more visually appealing to a potential employer, or how to improve the structure of a resume, or what verbiage should be used to pique the interest in a hiring manager. All of this will greatly increase the chances of getting a resume noticed.

That being said, we never instruct or encourage candidates to embellish, fabricate, or omit information on or from their resume. Nor would we ever write a resume for our candidate.

SALARY REPORTS

Salary reports are another common value-add tool we provide to our clients and in some cases even candidates. These reports are a great way to educate a client on what it will take to stay competitive in the job market by identifying what other companies are paying for similar roles. They can also gauge how difficult a search assignment is based on the number of available candidates who possess the skills needed in a particular area.

INTERVIEW TIPS

When it comes down to it, being in the recruitment industry gives us the unique ability to help people. One way we do that is by informing candidates on proper interview etiquette. Interview etiquette can consist of suggesting good questions to ask during an interview, it can also cover how to act, what to say, what not to say, how to write a thank you letter, and the list goes on.

CLIENT BENEFITS

SAVE TIME

We can save you time by doing the heavy lifting. We screen and interview all of our candidates to give you high-quality, qualified candidates instead of screening through hundreds of applicants and interviewing extensively.

We do job-specific testing to speed up the process as well as past employment verification. Additionally, if something was mentioned in the interview that wasn’t on a resume, I can verify that for you.

We conduct a minimum of two references on each candidate and we can go further than that. Would it increase your ability to make the right hiring decision if you could ask specific questions to former managers and peers?

ACCESS TO PASSIVE CANDIDATES (NOT ACTIVELY SEARCHING)

You’ll have access to my network as well as the network of our entire team. Many high performing candidates are employed and are not actively seeking to leave their current employer but would consider leaving their current company for the right job opportunity, widening the talent pool.

These same candidates do not answer calls between 8a-6p and our team works outside of normal business hours to speak with them.

PROACTIVELY ANTICIPATE NEEDS

I keep a pipeline of candidates to ensure I’m prepared to offer high-quality, qualified candidates when a company is looking to add positions or grow their team so we can quickly respond to your business needs.

Which positions from last year took the longest to fill?
What projects or initiatives do you have upcoming gin the next 12 months?
Which hiring manager is the hardest to hire for?

Let me pipeline that for you.

CANDIDATE BENEFITS

HIGH QUALITY CANDIDATES

We pre-screen and interview all of our candidates prior to submitting them to your company.

We can go back and ask more role or candidate specific questions that the hiring manager would like to know before interviews. We can reference and verify employment before interviews.

If you would like us to verify anything on a resume or what was said in an interview, we can specifically do that with a targeted reference call. That’s when we call people the candidate didn’t provide.

We will also advise ahead of time any candidates that will be subject to counter offers.

PRIORITY RESUME REVIEW & INTERVIEW SCHEDULING

With the unemployment rates on average of 3% and sometimes less in the US, positions can fill quickly and because of my network, I have first access of knowing what positions will be posted prior to becoming available on the general market. My candidates have priority in the resume review and interview process giving you/them an advantage of being considered first amongst other qualified candidates.

We can also provide genuine feedback that employers are becoming increasingly shy of giving you.

EYES & EARS ON THE MARKET

My firm represents top Fortune 100 and highly desired companies, including well-funded startups. When these companies experience rapid growth and have aggressive hiring plans, they seek help from our firm to meet the deadlines of their aggressive hiring needs. My candidates are given priority in the resume review and interview process because of our proven ability to meet and exceed their needs.

DON’T NEED YOUR HELP, I CAN APPLY DIRECT MYSELF

Did you know that only 20% of applicants are hired from a company’s job posting through their website? I personally was shocked when I learned that 80% of positions were hired through people in a company’s trusted network of recruiting firms and people they know and trust such as internal or previous employees. If you don’t know the right person in the company you’re looking to get hired with, that’s where I come in. The advantage of using me is you’ll have access to my network, as well as my team’s network.

There will be no more getting lost in an application black hole unsure if your resume was received or reviewed because we ensure it is the hiring manager reviewing your application, not the HR intern!
