Effortless Efficiency: With Re-usable Templates, you can say goodbye to repetitive typing. Re-usable Templates enable you to create and store frequently used phrases, responses, or information you find yourself sending often.

Re-usable Templates enable you to boost your productivity by focusing on the conversation with the candidate versus spending time typing out messages.

Speed Up Recruiting with Dynamic Lists

by Dominic Antonio | Jul 14, 2023 | Blog, New Product Feature

PivotCX is excited to announce our dynamic lists feature!

We already let users sort candidates by all sorts of filters such as location, job title, or application date. Now you can save those filters and use them to make dynamic lists.

Let’s say you have a list of candidates from Indianapolis, IN. Whenever a candidate meets the criteria for the list (for example, they live in Indianapolis, IN), they are automatically included in the list. The moment they no longer meet it, (their city is no longer Indianapolis), then they are removed from the list.

Learn more about how to make and use dynamic lists here: (insert link to help article).

There are all sorts of ways to use dynamic lists in your recruiting communications. Here are 4 simple ways you can start using dynamic lists today:

Re-engage with Past Applicants – create a list of past applicants to a particular position and have it update automatically every time someone applies for that position. If ever the position opens up, you’ll have ready-to-go an up-to-date list of everyone who has applied to it in the past.

Use for Job Fairs – Create a dynamic of list of everyone who has visited you at your job fair. As they fill out your your apply form at the booth, they’ll be added to your list in real-time. Then you can send everyone from the list a quick follow-up message after the job fair, thanking them for coming and inviting them to apply online.

Send location-specific messages to candidates or employees – Pivot lets recruiters filter contacts by almost everything: from the job they applied to, to where they’re located. Make a dynamic of list of everyone from a particular location and then send them timely messages pertinent to them.

Follow up with Interviews – make a dynamic list of everyone who hasn’t scheduled an interview yet. Then regularly schedule out messages with your calendly link to them to invite them to interview. You’ll then start to see less ghosting and more interviews on your calendar.

How to Reach Job Seekers with 3 Recruiting Strategies

by Mike Seidle | Dec 10, 2021 | Blog, New Product Feature, recruiting

Do you want to know what is more challenging than finding job seekers these days? Learning how to reach job seekers. It can be a game of cat-and-mouse to have meaningful conversations with them and keep them engaged long enough to know whether they have the qualifications needed to make a great hire!

More than ever, it is essential to reach candidates as soon as possible and to be prepared when they are ready to convert. On the other hand, some candidates need several impressions before they engage with your content.

We’ll cover three strategies to stay connected to your job candidates with ease. We happen to like using the new PivotCX Campaigns feature, but the strategies apply to recruiting in general.

1. Inform Past Applicants of a New Job Opening or a Re-opening

In the current employment market, candidates are getting more expensive, and job boards are raising their prices. With fresh, new traffic becoming harder to get, getting creative with how to reach job seekers can be a bloodline.

One often-forgotten source of candidates is your past applicant pool. Some of the benefits of reaching these job seekers are that they are already familiar with your company and you don’t have to pay extra to get their contact information.

It’s likely that you already have a gauge on the people you would like to contact from your past applicant pool. Perhaps, there were two or three excellent candidates, but you could only hire one. The perfect time to get a hold of them is when a new, similar role opens. Additionally, there’s only one way to know whether these applicants are still in the market for a new job or might now be ready to make a move.

Employers can use PivotCX Campaigns to tap into their forgotten candidate pool of past applicants and get more bang for their buck by remarketing to past candidates.

2. Organize and Tap into your Talent Community

Knowing who is in your talent community or past applicant list helps you understand and discover what works best to attract their attention to your job posts and keep them engaged for as long as possible.

You can run A/B tests by segmenting your candidates, such as dividing half your list and changing messages or altering the delivery cadence. This allows you to gain insights into how you reach out to job applicants; for example, you can find the length and type of message that works best for your candidates.

You can also be more granular in your approach to diverse candidates depending on their location, the position they applied for, how long ago they applied to the job, medium, source, etc.

Whether from an ATC, CRM, or even from a spreadsheet, PivotCX Campaigns allows you to attach a series of messages to any candidate list to make reaching out to applicants easier.

3. Remind Candidates about their Recent Job Application

Life gets busy, especially when trying to find a new job. Candidates want to optimize their chances to make it past the pile of resumes on any recruiter’s desk by applying to as many jobs as they can.

The downside is that they’ve lost track of which employers they applied to or the job details after a couple of days. Thus, it is essential to be fast and persistent when reaching out to job applicants.

This is why PivotCX Campaigns aim to nudge job applicants who might have fallen off the application track. With time delays between automated messages that can be customized down to the minute, it’s easy to set the right cadence to reach candidates when they are more likely to respond to your message.

Keep it human by reaching out to job seekers. Letting them know that you’ve seen their application and are interested can give you a leg up over employers that never bother to reach out to applicants or take three months to even get in touch with them.

Figuring out how to reach candidates takes time, but these strategies can help you leverage what you already know about job seekers and make it easier to find the perfect fit for your job opening.
