"Quality recruiter contact"
A few words from Teena ...
Right upfront know that BTC does not "blast" a resume to thousands and thousands of recruiters with the hopes of results. So, if your client wants a service that merely takes a buckshot approach to submission, you'll need to look elsewhere ... as I won't and don't offer that kind of service.
Your clients need quality, customized recruiter submission services ... because a higher class of service makes happier clients for you.
Three primary benefits for you to consider:
First, we provide a service your clients hunger for -- why not feed them? We help you strengthen the relationship that builds long-term repeat business in addition to the referrals we all love!
Second, we redefine your business by helping you stand out from others in the industry. Now more than ever we clamor to find ways to distinguish ourselves from the 300 million other resume writers and career professionals on the web.
Third, we benefit your pocket. Our service wholesales for$225$145 with a suggested retail of $395 or more.
The Value of Our Service Culminates from "THE LIST" (Read the 3 benefits your clients will greatly appreciate)
Unlike any other recruiter submission service, ours utilizes a list that is kept up-to-date (benefit #1). What does that mean exactly? It means our database is on a 4-6 week rotation, so *each and every* recruiter is reviewed and approved to remain in our list, verifying mailing address, email, phone/fax numbers, web addresses, and so on.
Another benefit to our recruiter list: we exclude recruiters with unprofessional, outdated websites and email addresses. If the recruiter doesn't pass the "smell test," we don't include them ... it's that simple. We focus on a quality list of recruiters, not *blasting* your client's resume to anyone and everyone. Your clients will love that added bit of detail. (benefit #2)
What You Need to Know Upfront; Getting Started
How do I get started?
1. Download and customize the intake form. The intake form is what you'll provide clients to complete and send back to you.
Recruiters are targeted by demographic, industry, and/or position.
2. Once the client completes, forward the finished intake form, ASCII resume, and text copy of the letter written for the recruiters (or a 1-2 paragraph email works great too) to teena@beyondthecraft.com.
That's it!
Your clients receive the names and contact info for recruiters receiving their resume in order to perform subsequent follow-up. Unlike other services, we don't hide our database behind a wall. Your clients receive complete information for each recruiter. (benefit #3) The finished report is set up within an Excel format, like you see in the below example. The layout makes recruiter follow-up easy!What's the Process?
1. Just like our job-bank submission services, my office sets up a unique, temporary email account for your client. We like this approach because it not only provides your client with a disposable email account for job-search purposes, it also helps us maintain the integrity and accuracy of our recruiter database.
2. I take the email/cover letter (or email content) you provide for the client, along with the resume, and submit to the prequalified, pre-screened list of recruiters. How many recruiters receive the client's resume? The answer varies from client to client, but typically a few hundred up to a few thousand.
3. Expect the finished report within 2-4 business days. Because of the complexity of these projects, extra time may be needed.
4. One final notable ... the intake form contains a disclaimer clause. It's important in today's world to have certain mechanisms in place to ensure jobseekers know the full ramifications of such things like data disclosure. Since my office distributes privileged client information (with consent of course), the disclaimer helps clarify the relationship between client and service provider. Can you change or customize it? Yes, you may ... but do so carefully and cautiously.
Q&A's: Questions Posted by Career Professionals
With today's economy, what are the success rates of your recruiter submission?
Since our service has recently launched, we haven't culminated enough data at this point. Keep in mind that making recruiter contact is different for every client because success depends upon a number of variables; i.e. type of position being sought, the broadness and depth of your client's skill set, education level, demographical and salary preferences, and so on. It's best to remind your clients that recruiter contact is just one of the many channels to securing job interviews and subsequent job offers.
How does your service differ?
Our service not only differs from others out there, it is much, much better for your clients ... let me tell you why.
First, we use an incredibly fresh list of recruiters, which will be verified countless times over a 12-month period. Have you used other services only to find outdated contact info and those recruiters who received your client's resume, *should not* have received it? Online services, and those large "seemingly prominent" recruiter resources, are outdated!
Second, we treat your clients like our client. Just recently we were approached by a potential client targeting a very specific, small demographic. A service "driven by a computer" requested a fee for blasting the individual's resume to hundreds of national recruiters that seemingly didn't cater to his target demographic. Instead, we provided two dozen or so ideal recruiters that better met the individual's search area. We didn't charge the client.
Third, we submit your client's resume to *relevant* recruiters. The problem with other services is they focus on blasting, providing jobseekers with the scenario of quantity and not quality. Let me give you an example of how we know this.
I recently visited an online recruiter submission service to test drive their system and learn about their system/competition. =] Upon registering, I told the system I was an entry-level candidate seeking a sales position in pharmaceutical/medical sales. I also told the system that "fictitious me" is targeting the Columbus/Dayton, Ohio area, holds a GED, and needs company sponsorship. Basically I was trying to learn the "intelligence" of their system. After all, we both know pharmaceutical companies don't hire those without a bachelor's degree … and some won't even look at an individual lacking sales experience.
The system found 703 recruiters. I'm guessing their system is designed to wow people with large numbers to turn prospects into buyers. I'm in Ohio. I maintain a list of recruitment companies for Ohio, so I thought that number was inflated considering the tight criteria I provided. I'm guessing the competing service pulled all national recruiters for pharmaceutical sales … after all, most recruiters recruit on a national level these days and if I consider this, maybe the number seems viable.
So I went back and broadened my search, providing same demographic, entry-level candidate, need sponsorship, and added 17 states with no city preference. The system returned 1010 recruiters.
The number of recruiters receiving the "fake me's" profile (btw, some services provide recruiters with a client profile, not the actual resume) raised only 300 or so. Strange considering I added 16 additional states to my search criteria. Do you agree?
Why we feel other recruiter services are flawed?
My thoughts behind certain services, like the one I mentioned above, concern me.
Issue#1: Other services "employ" a computer to make decisions -- and in my above example, would let an individual with minimal chance of entering the pharmaceutical/medical sales arena without a bachelor's degree and needing company sponsorship to submit a resume to recruiters anyway. Our Solution/How We Differ: We won't accept a less-than-ideal project merely for the sake of making a buck. We handle each project personally, developing a recruiter contact list specific to each of your clients wants and needs.
Issue#2: Other services charge a one-time fee that never changes, regardless of states, job roles, and industries selected ... so jobseekers using those services will SPAM that service's database because they can. Do jobseekers realize these blasting services actually increase competition for jobs? Our Solution/How We Differ: We limit the number of recruiter categories, so your client focuses on their first and second choices -- not their first through their hundredth.
Issue#3: Other services submit a "link to the client's resume" … so the recruiter doesn't physically receive the jobseeker's resume. Our Solution/How We Differ: We actually submit the client's resume to recruiters so they can integrate it into their searchable resume management system. It's that simple.
Does inclusion within your database require recruiters to register?
Recruiters contained in our database "publically" request resumes via their websites. We provide a carefully monitored pipeline of jobseekers that meets a recruiter's search criteria ... who wouldn't love that added attention to detail? Yes, we adhere to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
Why do you provide my clients with complete recruiter contact information? With the other service I've used, I merely received the recruiter name.
I'll admit, we originally weren't going to provide complete recruiter contact info. We were concerned career professionals would take our lists and run with them. But the more we thought about it, the more we realized what "we would want" if we were jobseekers. Jobseekers don't want a recruiter service that protects their list, keeping it hidden if you will. Jobseekers want to follow-up. Jobseekers also want to re-contact recruiters if they wish. How do we know? Because it's what we would want to do. Again, it's about offering your clients value ... not a service that's status quo.
