Database Sourcing Headaches And How CareerBuilder Search Solves Them
C
ompetition for top talent (and the number of candidates
available for your positions) is constantly changing. Waiting for applications and resumes to pour in from your career site or job posting takes time that you don’t have to spare, so you are looking for a tool that will help proactively source candidates today. Searching through external resume databases and professional social networks requires a certain amount of attention and expertise that can often make the task seem too cumbersome for lean recruitment teams. CareerBuilder’s resume database is known by talent acquisition teams across the country as a top-performing source for quality candidates. CareerBuilder Search combines our resume database with our new public profile aggregator, Recruitment Edge. The Search Professional edition also adds Talentstream Supply & Demand data – a powerful sourcing strategy tool that delivers the best candidates, technology and data to help you find, engage and hire fast. We built CareerBuilder Search as a solution to your biggest database sourcing headaches.

Sourcing Headache #1 You can’t find enough quality candidates to fill open positions. Problem You need to start sourcing top talent right away, but you are finding it difficult to attract the right candidates from your career site or job posting. If you had direct contact information for both active and passive job seekers, you could really improve your sourcing results. Solution CareerBuilder Search combines the well-known resume database with Recruitment Edge, our public profile aggregator. These components pull information from dozens of online sources – like online professional networks, social media sites and licensing agencies – to find over 460 million public profiles. Our software consolidates those profiles into 90 million unique candidates with direct contact information, such as an email or phone number. Candidate profiles are matched up to 45 million CareerBuilder resumes. CareerBuilder Search only returns candidates with some form of contact information, helping you make a warm introduction to job seekers on the market.

Sourcing Headache #2 You don’t have enough time in your week to perform searches. Problem Some external databases aren’t exactly what you would call “user friendly”. Taking time to log in, construct your keyword or Boolean string, and run a search eats away from your other tasks. You need a solution that can help you source candidates quickly and efficiently. Solution The CareerBuilder Search user interface was created with recruiter input for a quality experience. By combining a resume database and public profile aggregator into one platform, CareerBuilder Search saves time by eliminating a second login. It is designed to quickly deliver top-notch talent — and doesn’t even require a login to receive new candidates. Users also have the ability to create saved searches that will automatically find and deliver new resumes to your email inbox daily or weekly. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Sourcing Headache #3 You perform a lot of searches, but find yourself questioning if candidate information is current.
Problem While the average resume database is a great resource for active candidates, you may find some candidate information is outdated – simply because the person is currently employed. You want to contact a candidate, but are left wondering if their job title or contact information is up-to-date. Solution CareerBuilder Search, with Recruitment Edge, provides automatic updates to a candidate’s profile as changes are made to their information on any of the integrated data sources, such as professional networking sites and social media channels. These perpetual data updates ensure that you will have the most up-to-date work experience and recent contact information available in a single source.

Sourcing Headache #4 You don’t know where or how to find quality candidates through sourcing efforts. Problem Without data-driven insight into a given market, it will be difficult to recruit for a position if there just aren’t enough candidates to go around. You need to search smarter with a better understanding of the hiring landscape, compensation ranges that candidates expect and your competition for talent. Solution CareerBuilder Search Professional includes Talentstream Supply & Demand data to provide valuable intel on the candidate marketplace. Talentstream Supply & Demand tells you how easy or difficult it will be to find candidates for your position based on the number of active job seekers in comparison to the number of job postings in a given market. These data points will also provide: insight into competition for talent in the area, other locations with a higher concentration of job seekers, suggested job titles to enhance your search, and average compensation for a given position. CareerBuilder Search Professional helps you stay five steps ahead of the competition by creating a recruitment strategy based on market data.
