Our proven recruiting methodology depends on our ability to partner with your hiring managers, saving them time and providing quality of talent every time we deliver. There are a couple of key areas to point out that serve as Volt differentiators When we receive an order, we conduct an order qualify (preferably with the hiring manager), where we gain a detailed understanding of hard and soft skill requirements, or “must haves”, their priority, and other critical information that allows us to conduct a successful recruit (e.g. culture, project, team make up, budget, why should someone be interested in this position?, etc.). Then, when we present a candidate to you, we create a candidate submittal that is basically the recruiters assessment of how the candidate matches up to those requirements. We also include the candidates’ Resume, salary requirements, availability, etc. This proven process has yielded the following results across Volt <add quality metrics such as time to hire, or submittal-to-interview, interview-to-hire, submittal-to-hire, and/or maybe just bottom line number of positions filled…> At the core of this process is our investment in Training:Recruiter methodology training – one-week training with ongoing development programsTechnology training – two day-long sessions on technology and ongoing training through vteonlineMSP support trainingProfessional Placement trainingSix Sigma trainingE-learning module sessions on: co-employment, HR issue resolution, sourcing strategy, knowledge builders, termination/separation training
We use a variety of recruiting sources. When we embark on a search, the Recruiter develops a Recruiting Strategy specific to the position. The strategy includes referrals, re-activates, and best practices in today’s recruiting such as social networking sites, creative internet search strings, and the ongoing building of candidate pools for common or hard-to-find position types. We then systematically work through the Sourcing Strategy, aggressively contacting candidates, until the position is filled.Speak to the fact that “Your skill requirements, location, and hiring manager preferences are the foundation for us to deploy candidate recruiting strategies to locate the right candidate match”Internet recruiting portal: When a recruiter post a job to the IRT they have several different job boards to choose from, Monster, Career Builder and Hot Jobs. You check a box to determine which job boards they want to use. All VTR job postings go to Dice as well, and they get pushed out to many independent job boards. Remind prospects that the current market won’t stay this way, we are prepared for the recovery and can respond due to our deep history as a technical recruiting company. Transition Statement- What social networking sites have been beneficial for you?
One of our recruiting tools, is our award-winning Contextual Search technology feature, which is embedded in Volt’s Resume/Applicant Tracking System. Contextual Search is a significant enhancement to a keyword search. It’s based on artificial intelligence technology that reads and interprets the actual words in the Resume, and as a result understand the contextual relationship between words, thereby providing a more powerful search resultContextual search is more than a word match, it’s people touching people.
We find our candidate through sophisticated marketing materials, specific to their geography, the market, and the voice they want to hear from a recruitment partner.Aspire Candidate Material = Volt Technical & Creative Communication“You Deserve to Have A Job You Love” = Respectful candidate acquisition on Chicago Transit commuter rail“With Change Comes Opportunity” = Speaking to the candidate during difficult economic timesTransition Statement- What would you want a perspective candidate to know about your company?

Speak on the timekeeping at more of a functional level. On Electronic timekeeping, give the options, rather than branding as eTime. Speak more to a functional level, become tool agnostic rather than focusing on our products. We have a menu of options, we’ll interface with what you have or show you what is available.
The final step is to align with their needs, and speak to what’s important to their business. “With Change Comes Opportunity” : If the dialogue hasn’t already taken you here, ask them about changes in their business, what opportunities are presenting themselves with these changes.
