The Numbers Speak Volumes: Our Effort Per Campaign
At Velocity Resource Group, every job opening presents a new challenge and opportunity. For each role, we embark on a detailed and proactive outreach campaign. Here’s a breakdown of our average effort per vacancy, showcasing our commitment to efficient talent sourcing:
Phone Calls: We make approximately 350 calls per job. This high level of phone contact ensures we engage actively with potential candidates, vetting their interests and suitability in real time.
Text Messaging: Texts are an essential part of our communication, with about 160 messages sent per job. This method helps maintain a direct and personal line of communication with candidates.
LinkedIn InMails: Our first touch through LinkedIn InMails averages around 60 per job. This platform allows us to reach out to passive candidates who might not be actively looking but are a great fit for the role.
This summary represents the baseline performance across various job lines and levels. We adapt our approach to the specific role, drawing on our extensive experience to ensure we deliver the highest quality candidates and the best fit for each job. For example, we leverage job boards, social media messaging, and other tailored communication strategies based on the unique requirements of each position and client. Although not used for every job, these messages are crucial in reaching a broader audience. Follow-up messages are a common part of our strategy, even though they aren’t included in this summary.
Our Unique Process: Speed and Efficiency in Recruitment
Our project timeline is designed to be efficient and effective, spanning 30 days per project. This focused approach allows us to swiftly adapt to the client’s needs and market dynamics, ensuring that we’re not just filling vacancies but are also helping to build the future of our client’s workforce through efficient and effective talent sourcing.
According to LinkedIn, it takes 36 to 42 days to fill the average position in the United States. However, with Velocity, you can start receiving Qualified, Available, and Interested candidates as quickly as the day after you initiate a project. Even though our projects last 30 days, our efficient process ensures you get top-tier, pre-screened candidates almost immediately, exemplifying our efficient talent sourcing capabilities.
