Is the free plan on Loxo.co sufficient for my needs? I rely on Sales Navigator for sourcing, but I’m unsure if I can post a job on all job boards at the same time with their free plan, as this information isn’t clearly stated on their website.
Subject: Do Rejection Letters Indicate My Application Was Reviewed?
Hi Recruiters,
I’ve submitted numerous job applications and noticed that while some receive no response at all, others send out generic rejection letters, often saying something like, “Thank you for your consideration. We have chosen to proceed with other candidates.”
This raises a question: when I receive one of these rejection emails, does it mean my application was actually reviewed by someone? Or do positions simply close for various reasons, resulting in a mass email being sent to all applicants?
Additionally, does receiving a rejection letter imply that the position was legitimate and not just a data collection effort?
I appreciate your insights!
Best,
[Your Name]
How do you maintain confidentiality while recruiting?
I’m a healthcare recruiter in the Middle East, focused on sourcing medical professionals. A common question I encounter is the name of the hospital, as candidates are eager for details. While I aim to assist, I prefer not to disclose the hospital’s name to prevent potential candidates from bypassing my services. What strategies do you use to handle this situation? I appreciate your insights!
Seeking Guidance on Negotiating a Raise After Promotion Without One
A few months ago, I was promoted to Head of Talent and am now leading a team of 10 recruiters. The last quarter was particularly successful, with my team achieving impressive results, and I personally filled several key roles that have significantly benefited the company.
However, I recently learned that I won’t be receiving the salary increase I anticipated following my promotion. While there wasn’t a specific figure or percentage guaranteed, I was assured there would be an adjustment at some point. Now, I’ve been informed that I need to wait until the annual salary review in April.
I’m feeling quite frustrated for a few reasons. The role has been demanding, especially with managing a team in addition to my own recruitment responsibilities. I believe I have demonstrated my value and effectiveness in this position.
By April, I will have been in my new role for nine months, yet I’ll still be earning my previous salary. I don’t want to wait that long to discuss a raise, and I would like to negotiate it now.
How can I effectively approach this conversation with management? I’m looking for advice on how to frame my request in a way that is assertive yet respectful, and ultimately leads to a positive outcome.
International Remote Work Opportunity
I’m a recruiter based in the UK and I’ve just secured an offer for a candidate who holds a Tier 2 Skilled Worker Visa. My client is prepared to sponsor this candidate.
Currently, the candidate’s job allows them to work from their country of origin for up to 20 days each year, during which they operate on UK hours. This essentially provides them with a remote working arrangement, albeit from a different country, and is in addition to their annual leave and the option to purchase extra leave days.
However, my client does not currently offer this type of benefit.
Given that the candidate requires a minimum of 15 days of international remote work to accept the role, what additional suggestions could I present to the client? They already provide annual leave and the option to buy more days, but it seems they may need to enhance their offerings to attract this talent.
Over 8 seconds…
We’ve all heard the common statistic that recruiters spend around 8 seconds skimming a CV before deciding to move on.
But how long do you think it actually takes for a recruiter to thoroughly process a CV?
I’m talking about the entire workflow: reviewing the document, inputting details into the CRM, coding skills, updating the candidate record, formatting the CV (if that’s part of your process), and sending the initial email, among other tasks.
Has anyone had experience with Oracle ATS? I’m preparing for an interview with a company that uses it, but I’ve been in recruiting for over 20 years and haven’t encountered it before, which makes me a bit anxious. How does it compare to Workday, Taleo, and SuccessFactors? (I’ve ranked those three as the least favorable ATS I’ve worked with, from worst to least worst.) What are your thoughts?
Looking for an Affordable and User-Friendly ATS System
Hi everyone! I’m on the hunt for an affordable and easy-to-use Applicant Tracking System (ATS). We previously used MightyRecruiter and loved the unlimited jobs and users feature. Unfortunately, their support has diminished and some core functionalities seem to be failing, which raises concerns about their future.
We’ve explored Loxo, but my team finds it confusing and not very user-friendly. I also liked Recooty, Mantal, Zoho Recruit, and Dover, but I’m curious if anyone has experience with any of these options. We appreciated Zoho Recruit’s client portal feature.
Thanks so much for your help!
P.S. Has anyone tried Dover ATS? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
CVs and JobAdder Inquiry
Does anyone know if JobAdder is capable of tracking if someone is downloading multiple CVs onto a personal laptop? I’m asking for a friend who is planning to start his own business within the next 12 to 18 months and wants to know if he can take that data with him.
He has seven years of experience in the industry!
Affordable Client Portal Solutions
Hello everyone! I appreciate you taking a moment to check out my post. We previously relied on Nimbus (Fusebase) for our Client Portal, but we’ve noticed that many features have been removed and their support team is difficult to reach. I’m looking for recommendations on budget-friendly tools that allow our clients to view resumes. What do you use? Thank you!
