Sell the Temp-to-Perm Staffing Opportunity

Sell the Temp-to-Perm Staffing Opportunity »

It is easy for temporary staffing agencies to fall into a mindset of churning temporary employees thru a succession of temporary jobs. Certainly there are some workers who prefer the independence of ‘full-time temporary’ jobs, and some workers who simply have not developed their skill set to the point they are viable candidates for full time employment but most of the applicants in your files really want a full time job with a long term future and – particularly with a little help from you – productive careers.

Monday Morning Inspiration – Jump-Start The Work Week

[youtube clip_id=”SaHAvEEbQOE”]

Let’s be honest- there are some Mondays where you are just not feeling it. The Boomtown Rats (No that is not Jerry Seinfeld) in the clip above summed that feeling up perfectly in their classic song, but let’s try something new this week recruiters…

The Challenge: Today instead of stepping into your normal routine take charge and jump-start the work week. By that I mean sit down and bang out a quick ten calls. Not random dials, but hitting on new points of contact. You might be pleasantly surprised by the results, and further it will set the tone for a productive day. You can always get your coffee and catch up with your colleague’s weekends later in the afternoon.

Go ahead and give it a shot and I promise it will be painless and over before you realize. Continue reading “Monday Morning Inspiration – Jump-Start The Work Week”

Do you subscribe? You should, we give away really cool things for free: Click to Subscribe

Back in 2009 I began to speak with Recruiting.com about the re-launch of their site and their new free sourcing tool. We made mention of it but never shared a demo with the community. With that the video  below  will give you a quick overview. Recruiting.com provides sourcing and CRM software to assist with augmenting the staffing process. 

Pros:

  • Very intuitive, runs quickly and I have only ever gotten frozen once. (May have been my system, but frozen nonetheless)
  • The filters are strong and when you make updates, it runs quickly
  • Standard LinkedIn searches return profiles which have given a lot of other tools trouble the past few months.
  • If you are running on a paid membership your results are easily parsed and recorded in the database for future use.

Cons:

  • It’s an automated search so you are limited to the search structure they have created on the backend
  • The scripts are standardized for mass consumption which will prevent you from getting very detailed. (You can make adjusts in your criteria during your search but the structure is already coded on the backend)
