Why should you use the Top Echelon Network Jobs Feed? Just look at all the split placements below that have resulted from it this week.

With every placement form that recruiters submit in TE, there is an “Action causing split placement” field on the form. One of the choices is “Network Jobs Feed.” And as you can see, that choice is selected often by Network members.

The Feed basically involves a situation in which another TE member wants to advertise your jobs on their website. There are a lot of recruiters in the Network who are making a lot of money by doing this. For that reason alone, you should consider participating (if you’re not already).

Network Jobs Feed training video

You might not know this, but we have a recorded version of a Network Training Tuesday webinar that can help. The title of that video is “Get the Most Out of the Network Jobs Feed.” This video covers the following:

• Generating more candidates for job order recruiters (importers)
• Maintaining control of the visibility of your job order
• How candidate recruiters (exporters) can potentially make more splits with it
• Following the rules regarding “re-posting” jobs to additional venues (other than your website)

And congratulations to everybody who made split placements this week!

Should recruiters just ignore job hoppers?

For many recruiters, the knee-jerk reaction to this question is a resounding “Yes!” After all, your clients don’t want to pay good money to place a candidate, only to have to do it all over again in a few months. However, you should think twice about disregarding job hoppers or candidates who seem to show a pattern of switching jobs on a frequent basis.

Job hoppers = high performers?

Job hopping can actually be the sign of a high performer who thrives on challenge and is easily bored. Although these workers may not stay for a long period of time, their potential contribution could be bigger than that of a long-tenured employee who is “boxed in a comfort zone.” Rather than simply passing them over based on their resume, recruiters should give them the chance to explain their job-hopping ways.

Times have changed. You’re going to find fewer and fewer people who have spent long periods of time with one employer. But we can’t blame you for shying away from these candidates for your direct hire placements.

However, job hoppers are perfect contract candidates for the following four reasons:

1. Contract assignments will give them the constant challenge they crave.
2. These candidates are quick learners who are undaunted by new, demanding situations.
3. They can make an immediate impact by working on critical deadlines and projects.
4. They can pad their resumes with a wealth of knowledge, skills, and references.

So before you overlook a candidate for switching jobs too many times, consider how this perceived weakness could actually be an asset for your clients.
