Velocity TalentYour partner in talent acquisition and success

Julie Dodds, President

We KNOW talented people

• How Good Is Your Company?• Today’s business simply demands fast access to qualified personnel.

Meeting that demand is your job. Being prepared to supply you with qualified talent is ours.

• Yesterday’s tactics of running newspaper ads and online ads just aren’t as efficient as you need. Tapping the usual resources can produce the typical influx of resumes and applications, but then it’s a full time job just sifting through piles of unqualified candidates to locate the impact players—those people who do their jobs and then some. What do you do when you need highly skilled people yesterday?

• So Why Is It So Hard??

• Talent is Hard to Find – And Harder to Catch

• No one would dispute that finding the “right” individuals is critical to your success. The recruiting process, however, can be a daunting, time-consuming and emotional task. And just because you’re looking doesn’t mean that people you want are searching for you. Then, when you find them, you may have to convince them that you are their best potion. How do you know what it will take to close the deal?

“What is our Dedicated Search Process?

How is working with us different than with other groups?”

AIM:

Assess

“You and I will work together to assess your current situation. We will go beyond your immediate needs and look at the complete picture – your goals and the challenges you will face in achieving those goals. As a result of our years of experience working exclusively within this sector, we are often able to suggest more effective approaches to your staffing needs.

Our next step is to identify all of the skills and experience that will be needed in the person you hire. Because we will pro-actively bring this person into the market, I recommend that you think beyond simple job specifications. Think about the makeup of your team – what specific skills, product knowledge or account knowledge would make the greatest contribution to the composition of your entire group?”

“Next we will identify the titles this person might now hold, what companies they might be with, and what are the key factors in identifying the top performers in that arena.

The top performers in any given marketplace are almost always happy in their current situation. Very few of the people we place are folks who are actively looking. Therefore, we will next co-create the most powerful message to demonstrate to those top performers that your company is the most exciting venue for their future success.

I will then systematically contact the people we have targeted and make the most persuasive presentation possible.

I will give you detailed feedback throughout the process and if I find that we need to adjust our message I will let you know that right away. In the end, you will know that you are talking to all of the most qualified people who could be motivated to consider your opportunity.”

“Finally, I will work with your new hire to help them with their resignation and throughout the transition period.

Beyond that, we partner with you to create a strategic recruitment and retention plan – a plan that will take us beyond responding to immediate needs and allow us to anticipate future needs and opportunities in the marketplace. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects over 10 million more jobs than people by 2010 in the United States alone. Those companies that have anticipated this deficit, and have a strategy to respond to it, will have a significant competitive advantage.”
