By using eBoss for your recruitment member site, you can allow both clients and candidates controlled access to information and listings of available positions or applicants and the ability to express an interest with one click. For both, having a site to frequently visit provides them with a sense of community and builds loyalty. Instead of simply being a company they deal with, this sense of community helps them see your firm as a partner.

For Candidates

Remember who candidates are. They are people searching for employment. They are in a position that often breeds a feeling of helplessness. Obviously, they expect a recruitment firm to work on their behalf seeking positions for which they are qualified, but having a site they can access to review jobs and qualification requirements grants them the feeling of actually being proactive and contributing to the employment search. Additionally, having this information is extremely useful for those applicants considering a change in career direction. Understanding the requirements for various positions and the areas in their own qualifications that could be strengthened gives them direction for becoming a stronger candidate. For many, this understanding could be the difference between a client that becomes a productive employee or someone who gives up the search altogether.

For Clients

Those making the hiring decisions at a company need information to do their jobs properly. For a recruitment firm, being the first source of such information that comes to mind is a powerful thing. While any recruitment firm is willing and able to find candidates to send to interviews, becoming a resource that they can use to stay informed on employment trends in their industry is a crucial advantage. Beyond being generally informative, scanning your candidates could be the deciding factor in choosing to create new positions – creating business for your firm that would have never existed without the members site.

A recruitment professional is the bridge between companies seeking employees and candidates seeking positions. By providing a casual setting for both parties to see what the other needs, all under the watchful eye and guiding hand of your firm, a recruitment professional can cater to both parties, allowing them to perform their side of the employment dance with realistic expectations and an understanding of how they can get the best results. Extending its usefulness as a resource can make a recruitment firm indispensable to candidates and clients alike. Our next Inside eBoss article coming soon
