overcome

The candidate sourcing and screening process is very challenging; often, there are too few qualified candidates for open positions, but an abundance of irrelevant resumes. Recruiters end up sifting through resume after resume when their time would be better spent cultivating passive candidates and performing other strategic recruiting functions.

Recruiters are poring over resume details, tying up valuable time that could be better spent "closing" candidates that are a glove fit.

Leveraging numerous channels, tools, and methods, RPOworldwide helps you identify a more refined, targeted pool of candidates for your job profiles and takes the sourcing process to the next level; it is ideal for the client who seeks a recruiting partner who will initiate the candidate "vetting process" in addition to identifying prospects.

Candidate Search:

Becoming familiar with your company’s recruiting processes
Understanding your technical and non-technical criteria for hiring requirements
Observing required flow and load patterns
Developing a sourcing strategy that includes:

Aligning specific sourcers with your recruiters
Establishing a communication methodology to document and track requirements and track resume status
Establishing internet resume sources (paid job boards, free job boards, sites for x-ray and flip searching, and others)

Building custom search strings based on your specific and generic job requirements using our sophisticated optimalQUERY (oQ) search string-building methodology

oQ uses advanced Boolean searching techniques. An oQ search will have multiple flavors based on the internet sources decided upon.
The oQ process will produce a set of search combinations for each job requirement to maximize the search results.

Additionally, RPOworldwide sourcers are trained to distinguish resumes based on requirement definitions through numerous illustrative examples. Once resumes are received from sourcing searches, they are ranked, categorized and prioritized.

Sourcers go to the highest-ranked resumes first for further processing.
Other resumes are saved. Future searches are always run on saved resumes before additional web searches are executed, optimizing the speed and cost of searching.

Develop a specific series of candidate screening questions
