If you could hire the most talented and driven people every time you had a job opening what effect would that have on your business? On your life? The starting point for me is to learn from you what the ideal person’s background looks like for your open position, then to identify all the people in your area who match the ideal as closely as possible. I’m not concerned whether they are on the market because we will craft a message that gives them compelling reasons to engage... with your company and opportunity. Advertising jobs is a method that has serious limitations because you’re only going to reach candidates who are in the habit of responding to job postings, and motivated enough to do so when your ad is active. The problem is that many of the most qualified and talented people very rarely need to apply for a job. They change employers infrequently, and are contacted regularly based on an older posted resume or a profile that they have on social media. And it’s impossible to control who responds to postings no matter how clearly minimum qualifications are stated in a job description. The result is that most companies end up wading through a large number of unqualified resumes. Hiring managers all over the country in every industry tell me that dealing with unqualified candidates fatigues hiring managers and can lead to bad choices with "fixer uppers." The way to hire the kind of people that help move a business forward, that make a manager’s job easier not harder, is to find and selectively contact only the most qualified people. You must be the one doing the choosing. The time that is currently wasted on the unqualified can be invested in persuasive efforts toward the most qualified. If it’s been a while since you evaluated how well your job description fits into the current mission and business processes, I can help. Because you will be choosing who to contact, your job description can be oriented toward giving them reasons to investigate further. It’s not necessary to waste their attention listing obvious minimum qualifications meant to screen out the unqualified. I will help you write a job description that gets the best people interested and motivated. To start the learning process, I pull five or six real, current resumes to get your feedback on what you like and don't like about each one. Once I have a couple of resumes that you consider to be highly qualified, I will be able to help you find enough similar candidates for you to be able to hire someone. We can go through an initial review of resumes before you make any commitment to the service. All I need is a brief conversation about who you're looking for and a job description or posting if you have one.

The critical skills in recruiting today are being able to find people by the trail they leave on the web, whether it be commercial job boards, group memberships, blogs, postings on social media, etc. Once a pool of the best candidates has been established a tactful but effective drip marketing campaign is needed. Top talent doesn’t need to ‘apply’ for a ‘job’ in the old sense. They will transition to a new opportunity when a compelling answer to the question ‘why should I stop what I am doing now and come work for you’ is presented in the right way.

Ever felt like you’re going to be physically ill if you have to read another unqualified resume? If so you’re not alone. I’ve built a process that helps you do high end hiring without the haircut here’s how: The end result of the service is all of the best resumes, recently posted or modified, of candidates who have the qualifications you are looking for. I access the paid job boards, LinkedIn, the web and my database of over 2 million candidates, using the sourcing proces...s and expertise I have developed over 12+ years, doing the hard work to read through resumes until I find the best for you. The ability to develop the right series of keywords makes a huge difference a less skilled person using exactly the same resources would not be able to come close to the quality of candidates that I will find. Initially I do a brief review of 4-5 resumes with you to confirm that I know what you’re looking for. Because I have been doing this for 10 years, I am very good at identifying the distinctions that separate one position from another, and a qualified candidate from an unqualified one. In addition, as part of the service I can help you write a compelling email that will communicate all of the advantages of your company, team, and opportunity to get candidates engaged in the hiring process. In a market where almost everyone is findable, this is where the real competition for talent takes place. You’ll receive 5 batches of resumes over 35 days and a spreadsheet with a list of the candidates and their contact information. The resumes come as attachments to an email. It’s 795 per job description for 5 weeks regardless of how many you hire a fraction of the memberships to the job boards alone.

Are any of the following true for your recruiting efforts? If you need to hire someone but don’t have enough hours in the day If you think paying a percentage of salary to hire is outrageous If job postings aren’t working... If your requirements are detailed and specialized If you’re not excited by the resumes and candidates you’re seeing If you’re being told there is no one qualified out there If freeing up some of your time and energy would be a game-changer If recruiting isn’t the best use of your time If the last 3 recruiters you have talked to didn’t ‘get it.’ See more
