You’ve got your candidate. Their CV is spick and span and ready to go. But, your client is playing hard to get. We all know the best candidates are off the market in no time and if you can’t place them, they have other avenues to explore. Luckily, a few features of ours can help you get things moving and get jobs over the line. 

How are you contacting your client?

We know most recruiters will spec out candidates by email, but how do you track it? You have no way to know unless you have requested a read receipt (which is commonly seen as passive-aggressive and rude) 🫣

Even if you’ve sent your spec by email, we always recommend following up on LinkedIn with a video message using Capture. This helps put you on the map, you’re doubling your outreach across different platforms and ensuring you’re more likely to be seen.

But, there’s more! 🥁 With Capture, you get real-time notifications so that you can follow up with more information at the right time. If they’ve watched your message, you can give them a gentle push knowing they’ve seen it. While, if they’re ignoring you, there might be a bigger problem at hand. But at least you’ll know. Is the candidate right for them? Are they on a hiring freeze? Or are they just ignoring you? At that time, you can make a call if it’s worth engaging or worth your time or not.

How are you showcasing your candidate?

If you really want to move things along, getting your candidate to record a Solo Interview you can share will warm your client up. Getting your candidate on video adds an extra valuable layer to your speccing process, and we’ve had reports from multiple customers that their candidates have skipped interview stages using it.

Karandeep at Pivot Search is a huge fan of Solos. He said his candidates and clients love it and his clients feel like when they meet the candidate for the first time, it’s already the second interview!

Trying these out should help you trigger a response and speed up the process because if they don’t want your candidate, someone else will! Put these into practice for a final push in 2024 🙌
