Every recruiter has encountered the same frustrating situation. You find someone who looks like a strong candidate, but the record in your database is missing critical information.
Matthew Deutsch
Maybe there is no current email address. Perhaps the phone number is missing or outdated. The candidate’s work history is incomplete. Or maybe you simply need more information before deciding whether the person is worth pursuing.
Traditionally, filling those gaps means leaving your recruiting software and starting the search elsewhere. You might check LinkedIn, visit company websites, conduct Google searches, review social profiles, or use another third-party tool.
All of that takes time away from what recruiters should be doing: connecting with people and making placements.
That’s why Top Echelon has introduced the Data Enrichment Add-On for TE Recruit.
More Information Without Leaving TE Recruit
Data Enrichment allows recruiters to enhance People records with additional professional information directly within TE Recruit.
Using enrichment credits, you can request information that may include:
- Contact email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Work history
- Education
- Social media profiles
- Business information
- Other professional details
Data Enrichment is available directly from People Datasheets and lists, as well as records within the Browser Extension. That means you can uncover additional information while working inside your normal recruiting workflow.
Instead of finding a candidate and then beginning a separate research project, you can potentially move from discovery to qualification and outreach much faster.
The goal is simple: more conversations and less searching.
Make Your Recruiting Database More Valuable
Data Enrichment is not just about finding an email address or phone number. It can also help agencies improve one of their most important assets: their recruiting database.
Over time, even the best-maintained database develops gaps. People change jobs. They move. Their contact information changes. Records imported years ago might contain only basic information.
Those incomplete records can easily become dormant.
Data Enrichment gives recruiters another way to bring them back to life.
Suppose TE Recruit’s AI People Search uncovers a candidate who entered your database several years ago. The person appears relevant to a new search, but their record contains outdated or incomplete information.
Instead of dismissing the record, you can request additional data and determine whether that person represents a new recruiting opportunity.
This can make candidate rediscovery even more powerful. Someone who was not right for a search three years ago could be exactly who your client needs today.
Spend Less Time Researching and More Time Recruiting
Consider how many small research tasks recruiters perform during an average week.
You find an interesting candidate but need an email address. You discover an old database record and want to know where the person works now. You need more career information before making a recruiting call. Or you find someone while sourcing online and want to capture additional professional information.
Individually, these tasks may only take a few minutes. Collectively, they can consume hours.
Data Enrichment is designed to reduce that manual work by bringing additional information closer to where recruiters are already working.
That can help you move through the recruiting process more efficiently, whether you are sourcing candidates, qualifying prospects, cleaning up your database, or rediscovering people already in TE Recruit.
It also means fewer interruptions caused by jumping among multiple websites, browser tabs, databases, and third-party services.
Put Data Enrichment to Work
There are numerous ways agency recruiters can incorporate Data Enrichment into their daily workflow.
You might find a promising candidate who does not have usable contact information and enrich the record before beginning outreach.
You could use enrichment to learn more about a candidate’s employment history and education before deciding whether to contact them.
When reviewing older records, you can look for updated information that could make those candidates relevant again.
And when sourcing through the TE Recruit Browser Extension, you can request enrichment while you are working online and bring additional information into TE Recruit without disrupting your sourcing process.
The result is a more complete picture of the people you are recruiting and a database that becomes increasingly useful.
100 Monthly Credits for $29
The Data Enrichment Add-On costs $29 per month per agency and includes 100 enrichment credits each month.
If your agency uses more than its monthly allowance, additional credits are available at $0.50 per credit.
For recruiters, the value comes down to what those credits can help you accomplish.
If better information helps you reach a candidate sooner, rediscover someone who eventually becomes a placement, or simply saves hours of manual research, Data Enrichment can become another tool for increasing productivity.
In agency recruiting, speed matters. The faster you can identify the right person, gather the information you need, and begin a conversation, the faster you can move toward a potential placement.
Turn More Data Into More Opportunities
Your TE Recruit database should not simply be a collection of records. It should be a source of recruiting opportunities.
Data Enrichment can help make that happen by filling information gaps, improving existing records, reducing manual research, and helping recruiters act on promising candidates and prospects sooner.
That old candidate record might not be outdated after all. It might just be incomplete.
And with the right information, it could become your next recruiting opportunity.
