1. Are the job
title, citizenship, salary and skills correct to allow proper
matching and applicant tracking to ensure that a recruiter will find this person when
searching the recruitment software's resume or staffing
database for these attributes?
2. If you are using Gopher executive
search
software, have you given a Gopher calendar entry to all the
recruiters on this new person? If you are not using Gopher
software, have you notified the other recruiters of this new person?
3. Has the applicant been
pre-closed on salary, location and job attributes?
4. Has the applicant been
schooled on how to dress and does the applicant know how to
interview?
5. Have you determined the
extent of applicant control (trust)? Do you know where this
applicant has interviewed, where his/her resume has been sent, what
other staffing or executive search firm has his/her resume? Does this applicant know why
he/she should talk to you before sending resume anywhere?
6. Have all the key words
been gleaned from the applicant's resume and a search performed on
job order records using these key words? Have you given a
Gopher calendar note to the recruiters owning the job orders who
'come up' on your searches to make presentations?
7. Are you checking that
all presentations are being made in a timely manner by other
recruiters?
8. Are the matches being
reviewed on a daily basis?
9. If the applicant is hot,
has a search list been prepared and completed?
10. If steps I thru 9 have
been completed thoroughly and accurately, you have probably made a
placement. If you haven't, don't despair! Move on to the
next applicant and place him/her!
