Best recruitment software for small sales ops agency?

Looking for the Best Recruitment Software for Our Small Sales Ops Agency

Hello everyone!

We’re a small, women-owned sales operations agency (www.grooveconsulting.io), and on average, we hire 2 to 5 sales representatives each month for our clients. We’re in search of an affordable recruitment system that offers the following features:

1. Indeed Integration – We’re struggling with the current process of pulling candidates from Indeed.

2. LinkedIn Integration – We don’t have a LinkedIn Recruiter account, just a sponsored job plan, so integration would be beneficial.

3. Cost-Effective – As a small agency, we don’t need all the extra features that come with high-priced software.

4. Candidate Filtering – We receive hundreds of applications per job posting. It would be helpful to ask questions, like “Do you have supply chain experience?” to filter out non-qualified candidates.

5. Client-Specific Views – Ideally, we’d like to provide our clients with a tailored view without disclosing every detail; just an overview of candidates in different stages along with their resumes.

6. Resume Review – We currently use Airtable, but it’s a bit tedious to navigate.

7. Communication Templates – It would be great to have templates for rejections, follow-ups, etc., and to organize these by client name.

8. Interview Scorecards – This feature is optional but could be useful.

9. SMS Interview Outreach – Another optional feature we’d like is the ability to reach out to candidates for interviews via SMS.

If you have any recommendations, especially regarding costs, we would greatly appreciate your insights! Thank you!

Is it okay to contact Company’s HR or recruiters about the vacancies they have to get more information?

Is it appropriate to reach out to a company’s HR department or recruiters regarding open positions to gather more information?

I’ve been thinking about contacting companies about their posted vacancies to learn more—such as whether the positions are still available, the qualifications they are looking for, details about the roles, and any additional information that might be useful. Is this a common practice? Would they typically respond to such inquiries?

Advice Needed – Recruitment Agency / 10DLC phone SMS

Request for Assistance – 10DLC SMS Setup for Recruitment Agency

Hello everyone! I recently started my own firm and I’m having some difficulties setting up my phone system. I’m currently using Zoom Phone as my carrier, but I’ve encountered some restrictions related to 10DLC SMS campaigns through TRC.

It seems that recruiting and staffing agencies face limitations in this area. However, I recall my previous company successfully running an SMS campaign as a recruitment agency. If anyone has tips on how to navigate these restrictions or recommendations for effective campaign tools, I would greatly appreciate your insights! Thank you!

Preparing for Business Development Before My First Day

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share that I’ll be starting my new role as a 360 consultant on January 6th, and I’ll have some free time over the next three weeks.

I’m seeking advice on how to handle business development leads, especially since they can be quite time-sensitive due to competition from other agencies.

I haven’t updated my LinkedIn profile yet, and I currently don’t have access to my new firm’s case studies or success stories—only my own.

I initially planned to reach out after the New Year, but I’m concerned that potential candidates may be scooped up by competitor agencies or secure other offers.

Additionally, how should I approach discussions with prospective candidates when I’m not yet officially in transition? I’ve been straightforward about my upcoming role, but I’d love to hear your thoughts and strategies. Thanks!

How can I get more candidates/leads?

Seeking Strategies for Attracting More Candidates/Leads

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on how to effectively attract new candidates. Over the past year, I’ve been freelancing as a recruiter for a specific company, and so far, I’ve primarily relied on free social media posts to generate leads. While this has brought in some candidates and allowed me to earn a bit, it hasn’t been enough for me to leave my other job.

My focus is on EU citizens who are bilingual in English and either a Nordic language, Italian, or Spanish for customer service (or similar) positions in Greece. Although we have job opportunities in Spain, my priority is to find candidates for roles in Greece.

I’m now ready to invest some money into this process but want to ensure I spend it wisely to achieve the best results.

What methods would you recommend for attracting candidates that meet the criteria I’ve outlined? I’m open to all suggestions, whether they involve significant effort, a financial investment, or both.

I’d greatly appreciate any guidance you can offer. Thank you in advance!

Recruitment Branding???

Recruitment Branding: A Discussion

What are your thoughts on social engagement for recruiters on LinkedIn?

Personally, I find the impact to be quite varied — it can be anything from cringe-worthy to truly impressive and engaging.

I’ve noticed that even when there’s little interaction, posts are still being viewed. Your presence is felt!

There are services and individuals who can handle this aspect for you, though they often come with a fee. It can be quite time-consuming to manage on your own.

I’d love to hear from fellow recruiters: What do you see as the value in social engagement? Do you believe it can generate genuine passive business opportunities?

Commission Structure

Commission Structure Update

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share an important update regarding our commission structure.

Previously, we received a 30% commission on any sales exceeding $5,000 per month. This threshold has now been raised to $7,500, meaning that we will only earn a 30% commission on sales above this new amount.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this change. Is this a reasonable arrangement? Is it common in the permanent recruitment sector to see an increase in the commission threshold? We’ve been informed that this adjustment is due to rising overhead costs.

Looking forward to your feedback!

What methods do you use to gauge an applicant’s soft skills?

What strategies do you employ to assess an applicant’s soft skills? I recently came across a post claiming that recruiters and hiring managers only need to focus on whether candidates can perform the tasks outlined in the job description. However, that perspective misses the mark—soft skills like communication, self-discipline, teamwork, and more are crucial for finding the right candidate for a position. How do you evaluate whether your applicants possess these essential skills to meet the needs of the client or role effectively?
