Basic Recruiting Stuff, Week 10: Modern & Effective Feedback

Your team interviews a finalist, vanishes, and returns three weeks later like nothing happened. Spoiler: Ghosting candidates and/or talent "partners" is not a retention strategy, and ‘black box feedback’ isn’t a leadership virtue.

Weekly Problems We Solve: Limited Talent Pool Penetration (Candidate Reach)

Are your searches hitting a wall, with candidates recycled from the same shallow pools and outreach volume throttled by old-school tactics? Contingent recruiters rely on transactional bursts—posting to the usual boards, pinging a worn network—leaving critical roles exposed to missed talent and surface-level engagement.

Basic Recruiting Stuff, Week 9: Talent Pool Development & Nurture Strategy

Ever notice how most recruiters treat talent pools like a takeout menu—ignore it for months, then panic-order a “hot candidate” when something’s on fire? Newsflash: That stud you found months ago? He’s already working for someone who remembers his name.

Problems We Solve: Excessive Communication

Exhausted of chasing, waiting, or not getting updates? Are you juggling seemingly endless email threads from your 5 vendors? Do you ever feel like your riding a carousel of inbound emails and calls relative to the level of information you'd answer your spouse with via text?? The traditional contingent model buries clients in a tidal wave of comms, fragmented feedback, and reactive fire drills—creating more noise than progress, especially when you work with multiple vendors.

Basic Recruiting Stuff, Week 8: Search Organization, Symphonic Integration, & Data Integrity

Most recruiters think organizing one search means slapping candidate resumes into a folder and hoping for the best. But when you actually need to find that “needle in a haystack” candidate six months later, that folder might as well be a shredder. Data integrity? Good luck. And if your tech stack doesn’t play nice, your pipeline turns into a leaky bucket—just in time for hiring crunch o’clock.

Basic Recruiting Stuff, Week 7: Follow-Up Communication

Most candidates abandon searches because of one thing recruiters consistently botch: keeping them informed. Your "quick hire" just became a 6-month nightmare because nobody returned a call.

Problems We Solve: Genuine Multi-Channel Messaging at Scale

Stuck sending the same boilerplate InMails and praying for a response? LOL. (for real, it's garbage). Legacy recruiting partners claim “outreach at scale”—but in reality, it’s mass, impersonal blasts that candidates ignore. The contingent model relies on short-burst outreach, limited touchpoints, and surface-level databases—leaving you with disengaged talent and lackluster hiring choices.
