Thoughts on a candidate recruiting tool?

What are your thoughts on a candidate recruiting tool I’m envisioning? I’d love your feedback (be gentle, please!):

1) Application Tracker: This would be a platform for serious job seekers targeting specific roles or industries. Similar to an ATS, candidates can input the jobs they’re applying for, track their application status, and leave feedback about their experiences for others who may be interested in the company. This wouldn’t be a tool for mass applications, but rather focused and intentional job hunting.

2) Profile Building and Job Scraping: Users can create profiles that automatically gather job listings from across the web that align with their skills and aspirations. They’ll have the option to collaborate with real recruiters for tailored support throughout their application process and effective networking strategies.

3) AI-Powered Features: The tool will include AI capabilities for crafting resumes and cover letters. Additionally, I’m considering integrating an email drafting feature to assist with follow-ups and outreach.

Do you think this offers value to candidates? What do you like about it, and what changes or additions would you suggest?

Thanks in advance for your input!

How to transition to BD?

How to Make the Transition to Business Development?

Hello everyone,

I’ve spent a significant amount of time in recruitment as a skilled resourcer and a solid account manager.

My primary hurdle right now is business development. I’m not hesitant about making calls and facing rejection, but I find myself holding back due to a desire to optimize and work efficiently. I feel unprepared when it comes to pitching or engaging in BD, and I definitely don’t want to miss any opportunities. Years in recruitment have shown me that it’s often a numbers game, but I’d love to hear any tips, techniques, or guidelines you all might have on successfully transitioning into this area.

Additionally, I’d appreciate insights on how to get onto preferred supplier lists (PSLs).

Thank you for any advice you can share, even if it’s tough love!

Hosting an event as a recruiter

Hosting an Event as a Recruiter

Hey Recruiters,

I’ve noticed a rising trend among new agencies that are organizing events tailored to their specific communities. For instance, if I’m focused on the tech industry, I might host a meet-and-greet with local product and engineering leaders, or even HR professionals.

These events offer great marketing opportunities for the organizing agencies and foster relationship-building for the attendees. I have a few potential invitees in mind, but I’m curious—what activities should we plan? What’s the agenda? How can we ensure it’s a valuable use of everyone’s time?

In short, I’m three years into my career and eager to learn from others who have successfully hosted talent events. What can you share about your experiences?

Please help with a very short survey for a Master’s degree

Quick Help Needed for a Master’s Research Survey

Hi everyone,

I’ll keep it brief! I’m exploring the idea of pursuing a Master’s degree and planning a dissertation that involves using Data Science to identify which elements of a CV are the most effective in predicting a graduate’s chances of being hired. To gauge interest in this topic, I’ve created a very short survey that I’d love for you to fill out:

It would mean a lot to me if you could spare just 5 minutes to complete it. Thank you so much for your support!

Best Sourcing Services for Educational Staffing?

Seeking the Best Sourcing Services for Educational Staffing

I recently received approval to explore additional sourcing methods, provided I can justify the costs involved.

At present, I’m primarily utilizing Indeed Smart Sourcing and LinkedIn Recruiter. However, Indeed’s outreach is quite restricted due to the limit of just 30 contacts, and while LinkedIn Recruiter offers more InMails, I haven’t seen much success there compared to what I achieve through Indeed and our ATS. My main request is for Indeed Premium, which would grant me 70 extra contacts along with other valuable features, although it comes at more than double the expense.

I’m looking for recommendations on tools that offer a strong return on investment for sourcing educational staff. If you have any creative sourcing strategies or reliable paid services, I’d love to hear your insights. Is ZipRecruiter worth the investment? Has anyone had experience with Teacher-Teacher or Smartspring? I’m also curious about AI-powered services, as long as they adhere to ethical standards for corporate use. Thank you!

Building Talnet – Split & Social Network for Recruiters | Job & Talent Marketplace

Introducing Talnet: A Collaborative Network for Recruiters and Job Seekers

I’m excited to share that I’m in the process of developing Talnet, which started as a marketing tool for MPC (Multi-Party Cooperation) but has evolved into a comprehensive platform. Here’s what you can expect:

• Split Network Features
• A Searchable and Filterable Job & Talent Marketplace
• Recruiter Profiles that Highlight Your Job Listings and Anonymized MPCs
• The Original MPC Marketing Tool that Inspired This Project
• A Reporting Dashboard (currently in development, with an anticipated launch by the end of 2024)
• A Fully Searchable Knowledge Base, which I plan to roll out in late Q1 2025
• Additional Features on the Way, as I continue to prioritize feedback and enhancements!

I invite you to help shape the direction of this platform as a community. I’m planning to conduct a beta test in mid-December with 50-100 users. Early adopters will receive a complimentary full license for the first year in exchange for valuable feedback. Free plans will also be available. My goal isn’t to generate profit— I earn my living by placing software engineers—but to create a robust product that fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing among recruiters.

If you’re interested in joining this journey, please send me a direct message to be added to the waitlist for launch notifications (targeting December 31st at the latest).

Let’s build and grow together! 😃

Does AI have a place in HR?

Is AI Set to Revolutionize HR?

Every day, I come across new AI innovations and companies making waves in various industries, and I’ve been noticing a growing interest in AI applications specifically for HR.

For instance, some new startups are leveraging AI to streamline HR administrative tasks—automatically creating and updating employee handbooks, onboarding materials, and company policies. Additionally, AI agents are being developed to monitor key changes such as new hires, management transitions, benefit updates, and legislative shifts, ensuring that internal policies stay current.

While ATS systems and other AI-driven hiring solutions have been part of the HR landscape for over a decade now, I can’t help but wonder if other AI applications will soon become standard practice as well. Are any of you exploring or utilizing AI-driven ideas or businesses in the HR realm? I’d love to hear your insights!

Job filled?

Job Filled?
I had a job interview about a week ago that I felt went pretty well. Just a few days later, I received a call from the area manager inviting me back for a second interview, expressing a strong interest in bringing me on board. We arranged to meet on 05/12. However, coordinating our schedules has been challenging since we work the same hours, so I’ve had to plan around my breaks.

Today, I received an email stating that the position has been filled. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

asked to schedule an interview but another candidate has already accepted the job

Subject: Concern About Interview Timing for New Grad Rotational Program

Hi everyone,

I recently connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn who encouraged me to apply for a new grad rotational program. I submitted my application three days later but didn’t receive a response from her. I later noticed that she commented on a post indicating that someone already accepted the position I applied for.

To clarify the situation, I reached out to her colleague to ask if the program is still hiring. The colleague mentioned she would get in touch with the person in charge of the program. I then received an email from the original recruiter, stating she would like to schedule a call to start the interview process, and I replied the next day.

I’m concerned that they might fill the positions before I get a chance to interview since I applied three days after the initial outreach and responded to her email a day later. The program is set to begin in January 2025. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where offers had already been extended but the company was still interviewing candidates? I’d appreciate any insights or advice you might have! Thank you!
