Over time, feedback refines opportunities seen. It is also shared with clients, along with metrics that detail how successful messages are at attracting talent.

Outcomes

Easily Connect

Messages can be sent, read or replied to the same way but technologists can choose when to share their email address with recruiters. As of Apr 2020 conversion rates for new candidates registering and becoming Visible to clients in TalentSearch increased 10%.

Measurable Results

Increased the satisfaction of both candidates and clients. Direct feedback from technologists and detailed email metrics allow recruiters to improve their open rate to 30% (avg. approx.15-25%).

Improve Message Relevance

Decreased the number of complaints about recruiter spam and the number of candidate deleting their profile. Technologists can unsubscribe from messages and provide specific feedback about what wasn't relevant. Over time, this helps them receive the most pertinent opportunities.
