How this Works for the Client?
On a typical day, a recruiter would be able to accommodate seven to eight interview time slots. Of those candidates, typically four to five candidates would ultimately advance to an offer, an Interview-to-hire ratios of approximately 2:1or success rate of 60%. With pre-qualified candidates, the interviews were shorter, and more qualified candidates could be interviewed. As a result two recruiters are now able to evaluate up to 40 pre-screened and qualified candidates per week. Of those, 24 would go on to become successful hires. The success rate of candidates interviewed soared from 30% to more than 80%.

The Strategy

The Key Step to most successful organizations is having a detailed plan; how to attract and hire the best candidates in a competitive job market. We understand that most successful people will consider looking at career change or advancement, if they feel it is their best interest and on their schedule.

The Candidate Generation program gives the Client easy access to candidates that were directly sourced from industry competitors or from companies with similar organizational structure. This is a resource to provide Clients with candidates they typically would not have had access to in the past. While working in conjunction with the client's current recruiting strategy to make it more efficient and cost effective.

The EMAC Group has a performance-driven approach to developing lists of qualified candidates that have been pre-screened to meet or exceed our Clients minimum search criteria. Candidates have shown an interest in the opportunity and would engage in a phone interview regarding their position.

How is this service different?

The Candidate Generation program is for clients that cannot afford to hire mediocre or less than average candidates for critical positions; they need to recruit the best and the best, most experienced, high-performing industry professionals. The high-caliber candidates rarely look for a job, they are pursued by executive recruiter or directly by industry competitors and not likely to post resumes on job boards or responding to ads. Their employers are doing everything they can to keep them and not likely to be found by the methods most recruiting agencies use. We assure to the candidates that they can confidentially investigate a career opportunity, without risk to their current situation.
