Recommendations for Recruitment Software for Small Sales Ops Agency

Hi everyone!

We’re Groove Consulting, a small women-owned and operated sales ops agency (www.grooveconsulting.io), and we regularly hire 2-5 sales representatives each month for our clients. We’re seeking an affordable recruitment software solution that can help us with the following needs:

  1. Indeed Integration: We’re currently facing challenges pulling candidates from Indeed, so a seamless integration would be a big help.

  2. LinkedIn Integration: We sponsor job postings on LinkedIn but don’t have the Recruiter plan. It would be great to have software that integrates with our current setup.

  3. Budget-Friendly: As a small agency, we don’t require extensive features—just the essentials that can get the job done without breaking the bank.

  4. Candidate Filtering: We often receive hundreds of applications per job. It would be beneficial to ask specific questions, such as “Do you have supply chain experience?” to help filter candidates and streamline our selection process (seriously, why do some applicants ignore qualifications?).

  5. Client Views: If there’s a way to create a specific view for our clients, allowing them to see candidate progression without revealing every detail, that would be ideal.

  6. Resume Scanning: We currently use AirTable, but it’s become tedious. A more efficient way to scan through resumes would be appreciated.

  7. Communication Templates: It would be helpful to have templates for rejection letters, next steps, etc., and the option to organize files by client name.

  8. Interview Scorecards: This feature would be nice to have but is not essential.

  9. SMS Interview Outreach: An optional feature allowing us to contact candidates via SMS for interviews would be a great addition.

If anyone has recommendations that meet these criteria, along with cost details, we would be incredibly grateful! Thank you!

Is it acceptable to reach out to a company’s HR department or recruiters for more information about their job openings?

I’m considering contacting companies about the vacancies they post to gather more details—such as the legitimacy of the positions, the ideal candidate profile, insights about the role, and any other relevant information. Is this approach appropriate? Do you think they would respond?

Seeking Guidance – 10DLC SMS Setup for Recruitment Agency

Hello everyone! I’ve recently started my own firm and am facing challenges with setting up my phone system. I’m using Zoom Phone as my carrier, but I’m aware of the restrictions surrounding 10DLC campaigns for SMS messaging through TRC.

I know that recruiting and staffing agencies often face limitations in this area; however, my previous company successfully ran an SMS campaign as a recruitment agency. If anyone has insights on how to navigate these restrictions and what solutions or tools worked for their campaign, I would greatly appreciate your advice! Thank you!

Preparing for Business Development Before My First Day

Hey everyone, I’m excited to share that I’ll be starting my new role as a 360 consultant on January 6th! I have the next three weeks mostly free and would love some advice on navigating business development leads, especially since these opportunities can be time-sensitive with other agencies in the mix.

As of now, I haven’t updated my LinkedIn profile, and I don’t have access to my new firm’s success stories to reference—only my own. I’ve considered waiting until after the new year to reach out, but I’m concerned that the leads I find might be claimed by competitors or that they may hire someone else before I’m officially on board.

Also, I’d appreciate tips on how to communicate with prospective candidates when I’m not currently between jobs. I’ve been honest about my upcoming transition, but I’m curious to know how others handle this situation. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Seeking Strategies to Attract More Candidates/Leads

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to gather insights on effective methods for attracting new candidates. For the past year, I’ve been learning the ropes of recruiting while freelancing for a specific company. Currently, I generate all my leads through free social media posts, which is the primary method I know and was taught. While this approach has brought in some leads and revenue, it hasn’t been sufficient for me to leave my other job.

My target candidates are EU citizens who are bilingual in English and any Nordic language, Italian, or Spanish, specifically for customer service or similar positions in Greece. Although we also have job openings in Spain, my primary focus is on sourcing candidates for Greece.

I’m now ready to invest some money into this effort, but I want to ensure that I spend it wisely and maximize my results.

What are the best strategies for attracting candidates that meet these criteria? I’m open to any suggestions, whether they involve significant effort, financial investment, or a combination of both.

I would greatly appreciate any advice you can share. Thank you in advance!

Recruitment Branding: A Double-Edged Sword?

What’s your take on social engagement as a recruiter on LinkedIn?

For me, it can swing from cringe-worthy and irritating to genuinely impressive and engaging.

I notice people actively participating, and even if there’s not a lot of interaction, I can tell their content is being seen. Your presence matters.

While there are companies and individuals who offer these services for a fee—since managing it all on your own can be quite time-consuming—I’m curious about the perspective of real recruiters.

What do you see as the value in this approach? Do you believe it can lead to meaningful connections and passive clients?

Commission Structure Update

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share an update regarding our commission structure. Previously, our commission was set at 30% for any sales exceeding $5,000 per month. This has now been revised to a threshold of $7,500, with a 30% commission applicable to any amount over that.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this change. Is this a fair deal? I’m also wondering if it’s common for commission thresholds to be raised, particularly in the context of permanent recruitment. We’ve been informed that this adjustment is due to rising overhead costs.

Thank you!
