Let’s look at the goals that drive Referable as a solution.
The High Quality Candidate Goal
Obviously hiring high impact talent is critical if you want to be a truly great company. This is what executives want.
When it comes to hiring you know your batting average is highest with high quality candidates. This is what recruiters want.
Employees know who is who in the market. Recruiters don’t. The key for a recruiter to be successful is to either be unfeasibly productive at screening prospects, massively resourced, or to tap the knowledge of the employees.
By working with the 5 percent, recruiters will undoubtedly get more fulfillment out of their jobs. That has to be a good thing!!
And the Collaboration Challenge
The problem lies in the “collaboration” part. People want to help, but normal methods of collaboration require productive people to take their time to help the recruiter – who they often don’t know well, and whose plight they may not understand.
Recruiters may get employees to sit with them and go through LinkedIn projects or spreadsheets once or twice, but attendance is usually out of courtesy, which can’t be stretched very far. It all dies if the recruiter leaves the company anyway – not only through lost momentum, but in lost intellectual property.
Your best recruiter’s time is not well spent scrolling through thousands of people who won’t get hired.
Non-invasive, Secure Collaboration
Employees know who is who in the market. Recruiters don’t. The key for a recruiter to be successful is to either be unfeasibly productive at screening prospects (or have a large team to do it), or to tap the knowledge of the employees, but this needs to be done in a manner that is simple, non-invasive, and private. The solution needs to secure the IP as a strategic corporate asset.
Referable AI seeks to resolves the challenges by providing exactly that: a secure cloud platform for simple collaboration around automated talent maps.
Productive, Happy Recruiters!!
Your best recruiter’s time is not well spent scrolling through thousands of people who won’t get hired. Your best recruiter’s time is far better spent on engaging the 5% and conveying the logic as to why they should join you!
Referable AI seeks to make recruiters more productive. As a by-product, by working with the 5 percent, recruiters will undoubtedly get more fulfillment out of their jobs. That has to be a good thing!!
