Overview

Launching the Job Plan consists of 5 primary actions:

• Running the referral search

• Sourcing

• Internal Launch

• Posting to job boards

• Contacting professional organizations and user groups


Using the referral search – best practices

When running the referral search, you should:

• Run the referral search for the first time after the HM approves the Job Plan

• Emails are auto-sent at 6:30 am and 6:30 pm PST

• Limit the initial launch to about 100 people

• Contact a maximum of 500 people during the life cycle of the job through the referral search

• If candidates pulled are not your target:

• Remove them, consider changing the profile


Priming the Pump

• 6 hours either side of launch find 10 good candidates and call or email them

• Where to find them:• referral search

• Job boards, LinkedIn, ZoomInfo

• Professional organizations, user groups, etc.


Priming the Pump: what to say

• Sell the position and company

• If not interested - ask if they know someone who is

“…wanted to let you know we are about to post a job for ABC Inc. and thought you might be

interested in applying…”


Priming the Pump: what to do

• Send them the link to the position, explain the process

• Note your sourcing efforts in the internal log (EEO) and let HM know

• Add them to the referral searchRSEdatabaseCareer

Sourcing

• Finding candidates via web research or networking

• Use the job board resume searches to find potential applicants


Sourcing - Potential Phone Call Targets

Potential phone call targets should include:

• Current employees and future peers of the new job

• Candidates sourced from job boards

• Candidates that have applied for similar jobs in the past

• Employees of competitors, partners and vendors


Job Board Postings

• The system can post to major job boards

• Every position should be posted on at least 4 job boards

• Technical jobs are posted on Dice

• Sales jobs are posted on Salesjobs.com

• Postings MUST be configured and posted in the system prior to launching the job

• Clubs and societies

• Relevant industry conferences and seminars

• Alumni associations

• LinkedIn

• Yahoo and Google groups

Professional Organizations, User Groups, etc.


Things to Consider For Posting

• Get approval to use the company’s name

• If the company has the same job posted, encourage them to replace it with the Accolo description and link

• Hide all Accolo contact information - drive them to the link

• Online application or resume drop functions should be turned off so all applications go to Accolo’s link

• Double check links to make sure they go to the correct job and it looks properly formatted

• Use the job posting templates to ensure HTML formatting is correct
