Why you need to Build a Highly-targeted Candidate Database

Why you need to Build a Highly-targeted Candidate Database

Time and tide waits for no man, so does your projects and clients. You can’t afford to put your projects on hold until you have your team in place and neither can you expect your clients to wait until you send them the right candidates. In this fast-paced digital world, everything happens very quickly and the battle to find the right candidates also is very fierce. So whether you are a corporate recruiter or a third-party recruiter, you got to be smart enough to keep up the pace and always be ready to face the challenge.

LeadGrabber Pro Software – You can Build Highly-Targeted B2B Prospect Lists Every day From the Internet

This is one of the major reasons why you need to build a highly-targeted database of qualified candidates. When I say candidate database, it is not just a bunch of resumes sourced randomly. A candidate database is a large pool of “highly-targeted” qualified candidates sourced meticulously based on the industry, domain, education, skill set, experience, geography, etc. along with their complete contact information. This helps you to build lists of candidates based on various criteria. Once you have a job opening or get a job order, you can straight away reach the candidates available in the list. You don’t have to waste your precious time by starting from scratch.

This sounds good, but how easy is it to build a candidate database with complete contact information? It’s definitely not that easy. You got to spend a lot of time to source resumes or candidate profiles based on various criteria from various sources. Sourcing candidate profiles itself will take a lot of your time and then you need to screen and transfer them to your database. So it is a time-consuming and tiresome process. This is where a recruiting software such as ResumeGrabber JobSuite can help you build a highly-targeted database of qualified candidates.

ResumeGrabber JobSuite is a powerful recruiting software that enables you to:

  • Source candidate profiles from various sources such as search engines, professional/social networking sites, job boards, etc. You can source candidate profiles based on various criteria. All you need to do is just enter the keywords and click Find.

Why every recruiter should build a talent pipeline and how

Why every recruiter should build a talent pipeline and how

Recruiters can liken themselves to a coach in a football team. What?

Yes, you heard it right!

Imagine that you are the coach of a football team. Your team is playing an important game and suddenly one of your players gets injured. In no time you replace the injured player with a player from your dugout. Why? Because you can’t afford to allow your team to play without one player even for a short period of time as it would have an impact on the outcome of the match. And, how were you able to do that? Because you had access to a set of players already lined up on the bench as substitutes.

The same holds true for recruiting as well. Irrespective of whether you are a corporate recruiter or third-party recruiter, you got to always have access to a set of targeted candidates, like the football coach, to quickly place them as and when the need arises. This can do a world of good, especially when your company or your client company are working on mission-critical projects. To accomplish this, you got to build a targeted talent pipeline.

Building talent pipeline helps minimize business disruption, reduces the time to hire & cost per hire, increases the interview success rates and always finds the best talent. But despite all these benefits, a majority of the employers don’t opt to build a talent pipeline for the following reasons:

  1. Lack of time.
  2. Cost.

LinkedIn Recruiter doesn’t eliminate need for an ATS, because …

I heard some recruiters & managers ask, now that we have subscribed to LinkedIn Recruiter, do we need an ATS too?  If we have a LinkedIn Recruiter account, why do we need to store resumes anymore? Why not treat LinkedIn as our corporate ATS – track and search candidates as required within it.

Points recruiters (3rd party recruiters & Corporate recruiters) planning to Use LinkedIn as an ATS need to be aware of:

3rd & Corporate Party recruiters

  1. First of all remember – Companies get resumes of candidates from multiple sources – LI, job portals, websites, referrals, mail-in, cold call etc….. LI is just one of many sources
  2. ATS shows you if anyone from your company has spoken to the candidate through any other channel. You don’t get that information if you are only within LinkedIn
  3. ATS enables you to follow your standard recruiting process for LI candidates as you do with candidates from other channels
  4.  Email marketing from ATS is cheaper, more professional, retains company branding and is safer – ATS enables recruiters and companies to do drip marketing, touch point marketing and use other emailing techniques. LinkedIn recruiter is not good for it. It does not allow you to send customized letters and invitations. Inmails cost too much money. A few people clicking on IDK (I don’t know) can get companies into problems with LinkedIn
  5. ATS enables non LI heavy users such as Managers and other staff to collaborate on hiring
  6. ATS is a good repository to maintain candidate’s referral checks, resumes, recommendation letters and other documents
  7. ATS hold all email trail for current and future usage
  8. ATS provides you access to full social foot prints in a easy manner – this is important during final rounds of interviews
  9. ATS enables organizations to generate activity and performance reports, by integrating  candidates from all channels including LI source, job portals
  10. With transfer of candidates to ATS, you will have access to the candidate even after candidate decides to disable themselves from LI for whatever reason. Many top candidates are finding LI disruptive with too many recruiters sending them email
  11. Add all high probability candidates in LI to ATS – future search for skills and qualifications can be restricted to this small of highly targeted people for the first pass
  12. You may want to send resumes to clients & hiring managers, not LI profiles. Import LI profiles and resumes into ATS first

3rd Party Recruiters

  1. ATS for 3rd party recruiters forms a great audit trail.
  2. You may want to send resumes to clients & hiring managers, not LI profiles. Import LI profiles and resumes into ATS first
  3. Enables one to track which candidate resumes were sent which companies, and which manager interviewed them,
  4. Also outcome and billing information is all in one place
  5. Easy to manage splits
  6. Great for checking for contract-breaking hires later on
