Organizing and Starting the Candidate Search Process

Stephanie Lada writes in the Fordyce Letter:

Whether you are an account manager working all sides of the desk or a
recruiter focusing strictly on locating top talent, when you start
the candidate search process for a job order it is imperative that
you cover all of your search bases. How many times have you gone to
cover a search where you’ve randomly drifted from job boards to
various databases and other tools? It often leads to frustration and
lack of productivity. To help avoid this, here is a list of standard
targets for generating candidate call lists:

5.) Exercise your cold calling techniques. What truly differentiates
the best in the candidate search business is the ability to cold call
and generate new relationships. Start with the creation of target
lists for competitive companies and utilize tools like Harris or
OneSource to help you generate existing names within the companies.
It also is helpful to spend time online visiting competitor websites
to review recent news announcements for names to add to your cold
call list. No one likes to do it, but it’s a trusted means to help
build your network.
