How to find a suitable candidate in 20 minutes? And make a good impression on a client

Atollon Article | | 07/11/2011

We asked the question: What is important for the recruitment agency in selecting a suitable candidate?‘ Quickness and the best selection.

We have prepared a short story about a successful consultant and about the even more successful recruitment agency. The story is based on actual data and is certainly very close to you.

Imagine a situation where your consultant is having a lunch with a client and discuss about a new position. Before bringing the food ordered, they hold their talks on the assignment and consultant immediately entres the data to the Atollon Fisherman system.

Among the three addressed candidates found the only one who is available and has an interest about the position. The colleague immediately sent candidate‘s CV and assessment to the meeting.

In this story we wanted to outline how we can help you to find a suitable candidate in 20 minutes. However we recommend to wait and let the client finish his lunch first :-)
