The Official Rules for Hiring Passive Candidates:
Using ZoomInfo to Create Instant Networks
Thursday November 8th, 2007
Hiring top performing passive candidates requires four big things:
- First, and foremost, a great job. Without a great job, there's no reason to call.
- Second, a great network or lead generating method to identify top performers.
- Third, a great hiring manager. Top people want to work with top managers.
- Fourth, a great recruiter. Top performing passive candidates can afford to be selective about who they work with.
If you've been to any of Lou Adler’s workshops you know he can convert average recruiters into great recruiters and so-so job descriptions into great career opportunities. But even Lou Adler needs a source for leads, and when he has a tough executive search he turns to ZoomInfo first. He'll show you how it's done in this no-holds barred audio conference. If you want to get more great leads, convert these leads into your best candidates and get two or three more great referrals on each call, you won’t want to miss this audio conference. As Lou says, if you want to make more placements in 2008 you need to learn how to maximize the potential of every name in ZoomInfo.

The Secrets of Less Active Sourcing - Finally Revealed
Wednesday August 23rd, 2006
85% of corporate recruiters use job boards as their primary (nearly exclusive) source for finding candidates for open requisitions. Response rates online are steadily declining and both Monster and CareerBuilder report a decreasing number of visits to their sites over the last two years. Most corporate recruiters leave the very best people untouched and don't fully leverage the capabilities of these vehicles to attract the best candidates. We call these candidates "Less Active" candidates and they use job boards and the internet fundamentally differently when looking for opportunities. In this call we'll discuss what corporate recruiting managers can do to help their recruiters more effectively target top candidates on the internet, position their advertising so it is visible not only on the job board where they posted it but also on Google and on the aggregator sites such as Indeed.com. We also discuss the anatomy of a great ad and some changes corporate recruiters can make today to immediately improve the quality of their online candidate pools.
