How Strong is your 'Keywordese'? |
|
 |
| |
|
Keywordese is the ability to use keywords in a search to find a desired result.
Smart recruiters use not one but a 'bunch' of keywords for each job title/requirement. By using related and other relevant keywords in your search you not only get more candidate leads to work with but also, believe it or not, have better chance at improving candidate match quality.
So, how do you create a keyword list?
| 1. |
Use job portals (click here to read tip) |
| 2. |
Talk to people/ candidates you worked with before, who are employed in a similar position
and ask them for words they use to describe peers' job position. |
Remember, whether you search your existing resume database or research profiles and resumes on social networks, search engines and job boards, keywords can be a differentiating factor.

Do you Ask for Testimonials? |
|
|
| |
|
Client and candidate testimonials play a huge role in winning new business. They help you to boost your credibility and improve your chances of a sale.
Here are 2 tips to get more quality testimonials:
| 1. |
Ask both your client and the candidate for a testimonial immediately after making a placement. This is when they are most excited and it offers you the best chance of getting a great testimonial. |
| 2. |
Send your client or candidate a sample testimonial as a starting point and ask them to approve or edit it as they please. Most of them will approve it as it is. |
With time, you can make these testimonials do all the hard work for you in getting new clients and candidates.
