Payroll Software :

No. of subscribers on PF Challan and Form 12A do not match.

Software & IT for executive search/permanent placement

Hello everyone,

 

I'm curious if anyone has suggestions or comments they'd be willing to share about the software you are utilizing to track candidates/clients? 

Anyone happy with what you are using?  Seems like a lot of the new software out today is more targeted toward staffing and temporary placement...why is that?

Thanks!!

Recruiting from Competitors

I am the director of recruiting for a medical device company and our company is currently hiring quite a few sales people  due to an expansion. We have been doing some target recruiting from our competitors. We got an email from one of their corporate recruiters this morning telling us to stop contacting their sales people as it was unethical for us to contact passive candidates through their work email accounts. My first reaction was "you've got to be kidding me" however does this person have a point? I would appreciate comments and suggestions.

Questions to ask a potential new Recruiter?

Hello All -- I am in the process of hiring 2 new recruiters to join our team.  We have been successful in the past hiring people with no industry experience, we actually prefer to train them, etc.

My partner and I both have 10+ years of recruiting experience, so we know some of the things to look for, but want to make sure we are asking enough questions to fully evaluate each candidate. 

What has worked for you all?  What specific questions are good to determine work ethic, ability to overcome objections, handle negotiations, obstacles, and phone work?  Remember, these guys dont have much real world experience.

Thanks so much for your replies!  You can email me directly at lbragg@triumphjobs.com if you like. 

Sincerely,

Logan Bragg

References for SilkRoad's ATS?

I am in the midst of evaluating ATS solutions for my organization.  We are in the final stages and currently, SilkRoad's OpenHire is rising to the top. 

I would like to reach out to this group for user feedback.  If you have implemented OpenHire in the past 12-18 months and would be open to providing some feedback -- positive or negative -- please let me know.  I am specifically interested in your experiences thus far (i.e., ease of implementation, on-going service and support, and overall experience). 

Thanks!

What if you could select and retain "Front Line" / Hourly staff who would grow with your organization?

Now you can with Predictive Profiles and iSelect.

iSelect is an online (SaaS based, no software to install / download) candidate application and screening system to help franchise / multi unit store organizations better recruit and retain hourly employees. This web‐based screening tool  tracks and manages candidate applications, provides hiring recommendations, and streamlines the process of hiring top candidates.

Predictive Profiles provides an ROI analysis using annual turnover ratios that shows how you are saving on you're your hiring costs AND Predictive Profiles will also provide annual validation reports to prove our performance.

I would be more than happy to answer any questions, explain further, provide more documentation re: what iSelect can do and how easily iSelect can be deployed as well as schedule an online demo.

ATS - reasons to use one

I work for a small firm with 4 recruiters.  We just added a new recruiter that will work from another geographic
location.  We do not use an Applicant Tracking System currently, and I am interested in looking into them. Can anyone offer me specific details on how implementing an ATS has improved their productivity and efficiency?
I would like to put together a list of reasons why it would make sense for us to use one.  Thanks in advance!

Does an agency deserve a fee when they don't follow the rules?

I consider myself a very fair corporate recruiter. I am the type that most agencies would beg to work with. If you get on my good side and show me value, I will send you anything I need help working on and will even say great things about you to all my managers and VP's. But if you double cross me and don't follow my rules then I will no longer send you any jobs to work on and will tell the other divisions not to use you.

So why is it so hard to follow rules? My rules are simple:

1. Don't go around me. Don't reach out to a manager and ask to work on a position that we have not gotten approval to use an agency on. That simple. We have a budget to work with and need to manage to that budget. And cannot use an agency on a position unless it is approved by HR management. We will let YOU know when we need help.

2. Don't send resumes of candidates to managers when you haven't been asked to work on a position. 1-we may already have that candidate. 2-we may not need help. 3-we may not even have an opening in that area.

3. You must submit all resumes through our applicant tracking system. If you haven't submitted them into the system first, then they aren't considered your candidate.

4. And did I mention DON'T do behind my back and submit resumes to a manager when you haven't been asked to by me?

This may sound like I am being harsh, but we have a system and process in place and all I am asking is for everyone to follow process. I tell the agencies that if they don't follow this process and send a resume to a manager without me knowing, they WILL NOT get credit.

So I get a call the other day from one of my managers.  They want to make an offer to a candidate. And oh by the way this candidate came from XYZ agencies so we will need to pay a fee.

My issue with this...

1. The agency did not contact me and was not asked to work on the position.

2. The candidate is not in the system.

3. They don't even have a signed contract to work on the position. They no longer even have a contract with us because we told them we would not work with them if they didn't follow process. (they have done this in the past)

So the delimma...do you think this agency deserves a fee? My feeling on the subject-Absolutely not! Because we told them on multiple occassions through email and by phone how our process works and that they must abide by it. What are your thoughts?

Do you use OneSource?

Do individual recruiters or small boutique firms use OneSource?  It is getting rather expensive in this economic climate.  Is there another provider who can compete?  especially in corporate "family trees" or subsideries?

Candidate changes jobs question?

A candidate I just recruited was presented to a client of mine this past November 2009 by another recruiter and has since changed jobs twice!  One because of a reorganization (was laid off) the other is where she is currently employed!  My client never interviewed her, the other recruiter never followed up with her or presented her updated experience, dropped the ball.  She does not want to work with this other recruiter and wants to interview with my client.  Do I have any rights over this other recruiter with my client?  If so, what can I say to my client?

New Job Boards

I'm the Lead Recruiter for an IT consulting company, and I have reached a point where the well is drying up when it comes to Careerbuilder and Dice.  We did have a LinkedIn Recruiter account; however, sometimes it was difficult to get candidates to respond to my inmails.  We recruiter for IT related positions, and I wanted to see if anyone can provide me with suggestions on where to look for new job boards.

 

Thank you!
