Top Echelon offers a free monthly webinar as part of its Expert Recruiter Coaching Series.

These webinars touch upon a variety of recruiter-related topics. These topics deal with both job candidates and clients. As always, our goal with these webinars is to help professional recruiters and executive search consultants just like YOU make more placements.

We record these webinars for those recruiters who can’t attend the live presentation, and we’re now pleased to offer the video from our most recent webinar by Michael R. Neece of InterviewMastery.com.

The title of that webinar (and corresponding training video) is “Using Videos to Add Unique Value to Candidates and Hiring Teams.”

Below is the official description for this training video:

— — —

The 2020 pandemic dramatically altered the recruiting and hiring landscape, and as a result, more employers are now using video interviewing methods. During this FREE training video, Michael Neece, CEO of InterviewMastery.com, will show attendees how to use video to add new value to candidates and hiring teams, so you can place more candidates and shorten the hiring process.

You will learn how to:

• Automate candidate interview prep using video
• Improve the interviewing process at employers
• Make at least one more placement per month
• Save six (6) hours per month
• Increase offer acceptance rates
• Reduce counter-offer risks
• Deepen employer and candidate relationships

You will also receive the following takeaways:

• A free downloadable report that reveals five (5) things that top recruiters are doing differently now to increase sales, save time, and place more candidates
• A series of four (4) free videos revealing unique techniques used by super recruiters

Get ready to finish the year strong and start next year even stronger!

At Top Echelon, we’re constantly upgrading both the Big Biller recruiting software and our split placement network software.

So we’re pleased to announce the following updates:

1. Selection Checkboxes Added to Record Preview

Checkboxes have been added to the Control Panel in the top right corner of all Record Preview panes to allow for quicker navigation and less cursor movement when toggling through lists and taking mass actions

2. Control Panel Keyboard Navigation in Lists

You now have the ability to use keyboard strokes when navigating through Record Preview and Attachment information in lists. Left and Right arrows will allow you to toggle back and forth between records and the Escape key will close the panel and return you to full list view.

3. Nomination Info and Decision Actions Added to Candidate Inbox Panel

Nomination information has been added to the top of all Record Preview panes in the Candidate Inbox Panel. This includes the corresponding Job chiclet, date/time of the nomination, and the ability to make a decision on candidates (move to next stage, disqualify, or delete), allowing for quicker navigation and less cursor movement when toggling through the list.

4. Decision Actions Added to Requests Received Panel

Request information has been added to the top of all Record Preview panes in the Requests Received Panel. This includes the requesting Recruiter, Network Job they were requested for, date/time of the request, and the ability to make a decision (accept or decline the request), allowing for quicker navigation and less cursor movement when toggling through the list.

5. Right Side Panel

The introduction of the new Right Side Panel gives users the ability to access various Datasheet actions and data while still having full access to the Datasheet itself. While viewing a Person, Company, or Job, the Panel allows you to view and compare important record data like Attachments and Comments, or take quick actions such as logging or scheduling Activities, composing emails, or sending text messages.

6. BETA: Hosted Careers Page

The new hosted Careers Page option provides you with the ability to display your public jobs in either a standard list or table format and choose or customize a color theme to match your logo and brand. (If you’re interested in Beta testing the new hosted Careers Page, email us at beta@topechelon.com.)

7. BETA: Microsoft Email Integration

Integrating your Microsoft account with Big Biller will allow you to send standard mail directly from your Microsoft account, rather than from Big Biller’s email servers. (If you’re interested in Beta testing the new Microsoft email integration, email us at beta@topechelon.com.)

Remember, you can always stay informed by visiting the official Top Echelon Product Updates page. You can see current and past updates, as well as which updates and upgrades are next.

If you have questions about these updates or about any other aspect of your Top Echelon Network membership and/or Big Biller software account, you can:
