What’s In A Name……Source
Our Sharkstrike division has picked up since the first of the year in the name generation and name sourcing products and I wanted to share some insight that customers may or may not be aware of.
I believe that name generation and name sourcing are a great way to reach passive candidates however it needs to be understood as well as the client needs to be on the same page to make sure their expectations are met and the quality is delivered to the client.
First let’s start with what a name sourcing or name generation are not.
• Guaranteed hiring tools
• Contingency recruiting
• Pay per hire tools
• Quick Hire/Quick Fix Tools
Second let’s discuss with name sourcing or name generation tools are:
• Cost & Time Saving Recruiting Tactic
• Candidate Pipeline Generation
• Smile While You Dial Tool
• Engage, Promote & Close Tool
• Right Skill, Right Candidate, Right Company Tool
If you are looking for a sourcing tool that will get you the right person, from the right company, with the right title at a fraction of the time, cost energy and effort than name generation is the way to go. You also have to keep in mind that you will have to contact these people, get them enticed, interested, invited and closed as they are a true passive candidate that isn’t out looking for a job. So it will take a little selling, phone dialing and conversation time to accomplish this.
The other way to go is with name profiling. Our name profiling product takes this to the next step. We identify, contact, engage and present to our clients not only the name but the interested people as well. The product takes more time, costs a little more money but will also get you one step closer to hiring the candidate. One of the misconceptions about this process is that the recruiter from our client will get on the phone and interview the person and the candidate will take the job. One thing to remember is that this candidate was happy working in their job and was contacted by a name generation service out of the blue to see if they would switch positions. So needless to say they may want to think about it. It’s our goal to get these people hired and our % of interested parties on the name profiling is very high, you just want to make sure that all expectations are met and the client understands the product and what it is and is not prior to start working.
