Maximize the TEN Jobs Feed to Market More Openings
Recruiting is about more than landing clients—it’s also about keeping your candidate base engaged, informed, and loyal to you as their career partner. In today’s competitive market, candidates have options everywhere. If you want to stay top of mind, you need to provide value beyond the occasional call or job posting.
That’s where the TEN Jobs Feed comes into play.
The TEN Jobs Feed is a live stream of open positions posted by other members of the Top Echelon Network. When you subscribe to this feature, those jobs appear directly on your firm’s website, instantly multiplying the opportunities you can showcase to candidates. Currently, 85% of jobs in the Network are posted to the TEN Feed, meaning you’re missing out on a huge competitive advantage if you’re not using it.
Let’s break down how to maximize this tool step by step.
Why the TEN Jobs Feed Matters
Candidates aren’t just evaluating opportunities—they’re also evaluating you. They want to know:
-
Do you have access to enough opportunities in their niche?
-
Can you connect them to the types of roles they care about?
-
Are you an active recruiter who consistently delivers fresh leads?
If the answer to these questions is “yes,” you build trust, credibility, and loyalty. If the answer is “no,” you risk losing them to another recruiter who can deliver more value.
By plugging into the TEN Jobs Feed, you immediately expand your reach without having to develop every client relationship yourself. The more jobs you can showcase, the more reasons candidates have to stick with you.
The Workflow That Works
Here’s the exact process I recommend to turn the TEN Jobs Feed into a candidate engagement powerhouse:
1. Run a Job Search in TE Recruit
Start by searching within your niche. Let’s say you specialize in PLC automation engineers. In TE Recruit, run a targeted search for those roles.
2. Filter by TEN Feed
Next, filter your results so you’re only seeing jobs that are posted to the TEN Jobs Feed. These are the positions that will appear directly on your website, which makes them easy to market.
3. Copy the Quick Link
Once you have your filtered search results, copy the quick link. This link takes candidates straight to a live list of relevant jobs on your website.
4. Email Your Candidate Base
Now comes the critical step: share that link with the candidates in your database. For example, if you have 1,962 candidates in the engineering niche, and your search produces 78 current jobs from the TEN Feed, send an email that says something like:
“Looking for your next engineering role? Here are 78 new opportunities currently available in your field. Click here to explore and apply directly on our site.”
This drives traffic to your website, provides immediate value, and keeps you top of mind as the recruiter who always brings opportunities to their inbox.
Why This Works
This approach delivers value on multiple levels:
-
For candidates: They see you as a proactive recruiter who constantly has fresh leads.
-
For your brand: Driving candidates to your website reinforces your credibility and authority in your niche.
-
For your bottom line: Every application that flows through your site creates the potential for a split placement.
And here’s the kicker: when a candidate applies through your site, the recruiter who posted the job can see that the application originated from you. That’s how collaboration happens. That’s how splits are born.
Real-World Impact
I’ve seen this process generate real results. Millions of dollars have been earned in split placements using this exact mechanism. The formula is simple:
-
Be diligent.
-
Share the feed regularly.
-
Engage your database consistently.
It’s not flashy. It’s not complicated. But it works.
Think about it: if you’re sitting on a database of nearly 2,000 engineering candidates, why wouldn’t you send them a curated list of 78 live jobs? That’s 78 reasons for them to open your email, click through to your site, and engage with you as their go-to recruiter.
Best Practices for Maximizing the TEN Jobs Feed
To get the most out of this strategy, keep a few best practices in mind:
1. Segment Your Database
Don’t send the same job list to every candidate. Use your ATS/CRM to segment your candidates by industry, function, or location. The more targeted your outreach, the higher the engagement.
2. Brand Your Communication
Make sure the email and the landing page both reflect your firm’s brand. Use your logo, professional design, and consistent messaging. This keeps you—not just the job—at the forefront of the candidate’s mind.
3. Set a Regular Cadence
One email blast won’t move the needle. Commit to sending these updates consistently, whether it’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Candidates will come to expect (and look forward to) your updates.
4. Track Engagement
Monitor which candidates click through and apply. These are your most engaged prospects. Follow up with them personally to deepen the relationship.
5. Follow Up With Split Partners
When candidates apply through your site, the job poster sees it. Don’t just wait for them to reach out—be proactive. Start a conversation about collaboration and how you can create more win-win placements together.
The Bigger Picture
At its core, the TEN Jobs Feed is about leverage. You don’t need to be the sole owner of every client relationship to deliver value to your candidates. By tapping into the collective openings of the Network, you instantly scale the number of opportunities you can market.
This helps you:
-
Retain candidate loyalty by constantly offering fresh opportunities.
-
Build your brand presence as a recruiter who delivers more than the competition.
-
Increase split potential by driving traffic and applications through your site.
Remember, candidates are not just judging the opportunities you bring—they’re judging the consistency and quality of your engagement. The TEN Jobs Feed gives you the tools to impress them again and again.
Final Word
Closing deals in recruiting isn’t just about impressing clients. It’s equally about keeping your candidates engaged, loyal, and active. The TEN Jobs Feed is a proven way to do that.
It’s simple:
-
Run your searches.
-
Filter for the TEN Feed.
-
Share the quick link with your candidates.
Do it consistently, and you’ll see results—not just in candidate engagement, but in actual placements.
As I’ve said before:
“Millions of dollars have been made in splits with that mechanism. You just have to be diligent and use it.”
