Here in New England, we're starting to see the early signs of fall - less humidity, sunny days and cool nights, an array of colors sprinkled on the trees, and the start of the ice hockey and football seasons. At ZoomInfo, we're also starting to see the signs of fall - summer vacations are over and now we're all busy, busy, busy!
We're well aware that fall is a busy time for you, too. So, for this month's ZoomInformer, we asked Lou Adler, Shally Steckerl and Eric Jacquith for tips to help recruiters in their daily tasks. It's not the first list of its kind, and it certainly won't be the last, but I am confident that you'll find a couple of useful nuggets in here.
You won't find any references to ZoomInfo in these tips. If you are a PowerSearch user, we've also created a PowerSearch Tips & Tricks document to help you maximize your time sourcing passive candidates. If you're not a customer, please sign up for a demo and free trial here.
Enjoy the vestiges of summer as you read these tips.

Tips from the Pros - Increasing Your Recruiting Productivity and Efficiency
From:
Lou Adler, The Adler Group
Shally Steckerl, JobMachine.net
Eric Jacquith, Technical Recruiting Consultant
Get the person to return your call. You'll get 80-90 percent of your calls returned if you can mention the person who referred you versus 15-25 percent using typical techniques. That's why getting referrals is the key to recruiting passive candidates, not Googling for resumes.
