Use Case: Helping Recruiters Get Closer to Hiring Managers

Problem:

Recruiters and placement professionals must juggle a myriad of job postings by clients as well as manage thousands of incoming resumes and supporting documents. On top of this, they have to operate in an incredibly competitive marketplace with the knowledge that any job they are looking to fill for hiring companies are also being searched by several other competitors. The typical recruiter or placement professional typically uses email as a means of communicating with clients. This makes it difficult to coordinate across multiple positions and makes it impossible for clients to quickly locate resumes with a specific skill without reading them all.

Solution:

With Praura, recruiters and placement professionals effectively create a closed community around a specific job opening or series of openings. The recruiter can quickly set up hiring managers so that they may upload their job descriptions, non-disclosure agreements, employment applications and any other documents they require from prospects quickly and securely. Similarly, recruiters can create a Praura account for executives so that they can upload their own resumes and supporting documents.

When the recruiter matches executives to positions he simply provides access to those executive profiles to the hiring firms. This allows the hiring manager to set up and schedule interviews, search across resumes for specific skills, and schedule tasks for the recruiter and/or internal staff participating in the search process. Each member of the network has their own dashboard so that tasks can be accessed, managed and assigned. By using Praura for document storage, both hiring managers and recruiters have access to a persistent searchable library of potential employees to simplify searches for future positions.

Recruiters have the flexibility to utilize Praura features in any way that suits their specific business model. The can turn features (such as task assignment, communications or calendars) on or off. They can provide access to executives or just to hiring managers. Whatever works for their business.
