Candidate Pipeline Development ™
The most successful organizations have a detailed plan how to attract and hire the best candidates in the market. Passive candidate research gives the Staffing or Human Resource professional easy access to candidates that were directly sourced from industry competition or from a company with a similar organizational structure. This is a seldom-tapped source within the overall candidate job pool. Our clients value our expertise in helping them find the candidates that meet their minimum skill set criteria and appreciate our ability to provide them candidates they typically would not have had access to in the past.

January 1998 — June 1999 (1 year 6 months)
As Vice President I was responsible for developing sourcing strategies, target lists and new tactics to the identification, location and pre-screening of candidates.
Hold weekly conference calls with client representatives to convey progress on our original objectives and to re-calibrate expectations for the coming week.
If a project is off track or if we are not producing the desired results I perform a root cause analysis on the project and evaluate what results have been generated, how they were generated and why they were generated to attempt to identify specific patterns/actions that the research team has/has not taken in order to get them back on track.

July 1996 — December 1998 (2 years 6 months)
As we started hiring new employees I moved to more of a hands on managerial role. I hired and trained new employees on name generation and profiling techniques. I also got more and more into establishing specific processes and procedures and creating commission and compensation structures based on individual and group productivity.
I work directly with our clients and our staffing researchers to make sure that the strategy and tactics we put in place for a specific search assignment are producing desired results. If necessary I would perform, front and backend metrics to measure those results, specifically Candidate Disposition Reports, Weekly Activity Reports, Project Summary Reports and Target Analysis Reports. I am directly responsible for not only identifying what needed to be tracked for each of the reports but also implementing the processes and procedures by which they are to be tracked and reported to the client.
