My updated job posting had 18 applicants that were all qualified. The old one had 1 candidate that was way overqualified.
- HR manager in the consumer goods and services industry
Making a few skills-based tweaks to our program coordinator job posting yielded :
1. 12 applicants in the week after the new posting was shared vs 2-3 weeks previously
2. A successful candidate that was hired and a “backup” from those 12, whereas previously it was hard to find anyone who passed resume screening
- Employee Relations & Training Specialist in the healthcare industry
After taking these trainings it made me have more confidence; when I started, I had 20-22 openings and now I have 5.
- Recruiter in the commercial services industry
Before [this program], I run into the scenario of 29 [resume] submittals for 1 selection, now I think we can get it closer to 3-7 resume submittals since we know exactly what they need in the position.
- Recruiter in the technology industry
So really it’s a full-fledged plan that you guys gave me with all the tools to basically just make it seamless without having to recreate the wheel. There’s no way that one person would be able to do that
- HR manager in the manufacturing industry
Thinking about what we can train on vs. what is required day one has been a mindset shift to have it be part of the hiring and retention process and internal promotion process.
– Employee Relations Specialist, Mental health services
From updating job postings to emphasize skills I’ve seen a larger pool of candidates apply.
– Recruiter, State government
This opened my eyes to give people a chance and really understand what we need versus what we thought we needed.
– VP, Manufacturing
My updated job posting had 18 applicants who were all qualified. The old one had one candidate who was way overqualified. I have hired for the position and am now trying to source these individuals (other qualified applicants) into other areas of our company.
– HR Director, Wholesale company
This program was a game changer. What I accomplished through the program in one hour would have taken me 6-8 hours to do on my own. The progress we made was incredible.
– HR Generalist, Transportation services
After taking these trainings, it gave me more confidence. When I started, I had 20-22 openings, and now I have five. This helped me better communicate with prospects and ask the right questions
– Recruiter, Commercial cleaning services
