Advise the candidates you can’t help to contact us and be rewarded for it – earn free vouchers!
Quick Guide
Out of work applicants/candidates are difficult to help and can be very time consuming.
It’s fair to say the current climate is one of the toughest for recruiters for many a year. Clients have fewer jobs and are offering only a small proportion of the roles they do have to recruiters to work on. Yet, what’s happening out there?
Increasing numbers of people are out of work and you are receiving more phone calls and emails every day from those people seeking a job! Responding and speaking to them is taking up more, probably too much of your time – time you need to hit the phones to make business development calls to win the roles you can earn a fee for. Of course you want to (and I’m sure trying to) respond to the job seeker because you have a reputation to protect and, in turn, they may prove to be a good contact for a year down the line. At the end of the day, though, you need to put fees on the board so it’s far from easy.
So what can you do that takes up very little of your time?
We might just have a solution for you - and one that will help you directly in another way too. At RMI we have come up with three courses for job seekers. All are designed with the out of work individual specifically in mind – people who you can’t afford the time to help. We will take them through CV writing, job searching, presentation and interview skills. See these course outlines
• Enhance Your Jobseeking Skills & Employability (half day)
• Interview Skills For Jobseekers (one day)
• Winning Presentations For Jobseekers (one day)
You enhance your reputation as a caring recruiter, and financially help them attend! So how does it work? Well, when they contact you, you can advise these job seekers of the courses available and if they come to us as a referral from you, they can book their course of choice and we'll pay their VAT! When you receive appropriate calls or emails, you can quickly turn them round by pointing them in our direction. You could even mass email your out of work/difficult to place candidates to help keep in touch with them and issue them with the details. The bottom line is that by giving these people help and thus generating goodwill, you will create more valuable time to get on with working with candidates and clients you can help (and generate a fee for).
And here’s your added bonus!
For every person you refer to us who attends a course you will earn a choice of High St or Tesco vouchers or RMI training vouchers to be redeemed against our training courses.
After each course we'll update your statement summarising your voucher earnings for you to claim as and when you wish. For each of your candidates who attends one of our courses, you can choose from the following:
One day courses
£50 RMI Training Voucher redeemable against our training (build them up to 100% off)
£25 High Street Voucher
£25 Tesco Voucher
Half day course
£20 RMI Training Voucher redeemable against our training (build them up to 100% off)
£10 High Street Voucher
£10 Tesco Voucher
RMI training vouchers can be added together to pay for up to 100% of training course costs – both open courses and in-house sessions, too. There’s no limit to the number of vouchers you can earn and they are valid for 12 months from date of issue.
When you send the job seeker the course details or link, simply send them a booking form (which we will provide you with and will have a reference code to confirm your company as the referral source). If it’s easier, then just email them a link to our site and ask them to quote your unique reference code when they book. Candidates need a code to get their discount so you are sure to get the credit.
Advising a job seeker to contact us for help could give them the key skills and knowledge they need to increase their chances of getting a job – a strong CV and great interview skills with very little effort (but lots of the glory!) from yourself.
So what do I do now?
Email info@recruitmentmatters.com with the word ‘YES’ in your reply or, if you wish to discuss further, email ken@recruitmentmatters.com or call 0800 0749289.
If you do wish to participate in this venture, we will email you the details of both courses for you to forward to your candidates, a booking form with your unique reference code on it and website link with details for people to view as applicable. Let us do the rest – we will sell them the benefits of attending and after each course runs you will get a list of those attendees who came from you with the appropriate vouchers.
NB There's othing to lose – everything to gain - no catches – no small print. Ask your admin team to email 100 of your recent “can’t help” enquirers. If only 6 of those signed up to us you’ve got a free one day open training course place that could improve your chances to win more business. In-house rates available upon request. If there are 4 of you in a team and just one of your candidates per day signs up that’s 20 x £50 = £1000 worth of training earned in a week for being polite!
