What are 3 pieces of information that makes a lead?
1.) Contact Name
2.) Contact Title (lead, supervisor, trainer, etc)
3.) Company Name
Why is performance feedback important?
Because we all know that "no news, is good news" is not always the case. We want to make sure the client is also satisfied with how the candidate is performing as well as how they are showing up ever day. (late, missing, sloppy, mean, smells, etc)
How long should a "good" VI take?
Any time frame over 5 minutes, and under 25-30 minutes (always a gray area)
ANSWERS UNDER 5 MIN OR OVER 30 MIN ARE WRONG, but will always hear out a good rationale
How long does a Job Posting stay Active for?
14 days/2 weeks
When and why should you do a lock down with a candidate?
Once the candidate has stated they are interested in a position (after screening has been completed)
Once the candidate is interested in a position, we do a lockdown to verify the interest, commitment and urgency of the candidate.
What do you do with the lead information once you have it?
Put it in Connected under the Leads tab
Send email to AM

one of these works!
What are the "standard" STP times when a candidate starts?
Day 1, Week 1, Month 1... so forth
Day 1, Week 1, Week 2, Month 1... so forth
first day/first week, are HUGE. one month is good too, they've had weeks to see if it is the right fit still/good time to address anything they have questions with. (paystubs, taxes, time off, etc)
Bottom Line, just service them! Sometimes we get busy and the timeframes are skewed, just don't be the recruiter that is known for not responding!!
