“We use cutting-edge technology to do this or that.” How many times have you heard this? We hear it all the time. In fact, we say it on our website. So we decided to actually show you the cutting-edge technology that we use to manage Gravity On-Demand, our contract recruiting / hourly recruiting service.
The video that we chose to showcase the applicant tracking software that we provide each of our Gravity On-Demand customers depicts a staffing meeting. We chose this because it demonstrates the level of visibility and accountability we provide each of our customers. We offer the software as a part of every engagement at no charge. Whether you choose to use it or not is up to you. Regardless, we use it to manage our team. After all, we’re performance minded and need a way to pinpoint bottlenecks and continually look for ways to be more efficient.
So here’s how we run interactive staffing meetings. The cool thing is that whether we’re running a meeting like this for you or not, anyone can access these metrics anytime. Beat’s the old staffing spreadsheets huh? We think so.
Take a look. We think you’ll be surprised. We truly do offer a cutting-edge system that’s really powerful, user-friendly and one that even hiring managers love because they can use it without any special training.
As a recruiting firm, we interact with HR professionals every day. As professional headhunters, we’re trained on what questions we can ask candidates and what questions to avoid, not everyone has this type of specific training. Recently, we tuned in to NED for a podcast on the basics of what companies need to be thinking about in terms of being an equal opportunity employer. We figured we’d share the podcast with you.
There are a couple of takeaways that are really interesting. One, it’s imperative that employers do a yearly audit of their recruiting processes to avoid trouble. This makes perfect sense and will likely help employers realign their recruiting program (many need it). Second, did you know that in most states it’s mandatory to collect and store specific EEO / AA related data even when you have just 15 employees? This was a surprise to us. So, if you haven’t already started to think about EEOC regulations, we suggest you start.
The good thing about recessions is that they teach us things. This time around, we learned to just call things what they are. For over a decade, we’ve been offering technology companies an alternative to contingent search. In fact, there’s a good chance that we were the first recruiting company to offer outsourced recruiting services to a technology company in Silicon Valley. Anyone remember Netfish?
Anyways, we’ve always struggled to name this service, a project-based hiring solution. We’ve called it VMR (vendor managed recruiting). We tried HLM (hiring lifecycle management). We toyed with Gravity RPO (recruitment process outsourcing). Alphabet soup!
While we’ll probably all agree that acronyms make products and services more official sounding, and that word-efficiency can shorten/simplify content at times, nothing is more important to a buyer than clarity. So with that, we’re calling our recruiting service Gravity On-Demand.
Yep, we’re tellin’ it how it is. Gravity On-Demand is a contract recruiting solution (this description was a small breakthrough for us too) that you can plug into your existing recruiting program anytime, anywhere. On an hourly basis, we offer a team of our technical recruiters supervised by our heads of services coupled with amazing applicant tracking software that shows everything we do. It’s high-touch, end-to-end technical recruiting that works and won’t break your bank.
