SIMPLE TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR USAGE OF
OUR SERVICE!
By: Ken Levinson – President

Client success in using our service is extremely important to us. We take pride in every success, and agonize over every failure. It’s our goal to have every client be happy with our service, and remain a long- term client. Client renewals are crucial for us to provide our service for the extremely low cost that we charge. Our clients make renewal decisions based many factors including both the cost and the effectiveness of our service.

We don’t claim to be a perfect service. However, we work extremely hard every day to continually improve our service, and give our clients tremendous value for their money.

However, no matter how hard we work or how well we try to do our job, it’s up to each client to fully utilize the potential of our service. When clients are open to national recruitment, offer a competitive position and package (salary, benefits, interview and relocation expenses), do a good job of selling their opportunity, post their job on Absolutely Health Care, and follow our advice when contacting candidates, they often have great success and are very happy. When they don’t, we’ll hear that the service doesn’t work. It really does, but it only works as well and as hard as a client works it.

A FEW SIMPLE TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR USAGE OF OUR SERVICE!

1. Learn everything you can to get the best possible results in using our service, including asking for help if you’re not getting the results that you desire. Many of our clients are used to candidates contacting them. Contacting a candidate requires a different set of skills, and these skills must be learned. Despite making regular client follow up calls, we often don’t personally talk with many of our clients throughout the year. Just like candidates, many clients don’t return phone calls. We hear about problems at renewal time. By then it’s too late to do anything about it. Please call Ken Levinson at (800) 863-8314 or Harry Gross at (800) 940-7791, as soon as you realize you are having a problem. We’re here to do everything possible to help you!
   
   
2. Call every candidate that seems like a potential match. Call at the suggested times, and call until you reach the candidate or decide to give up. Realize that for the most part, candidates don’t return calls, so don’t depend on that. Realize that direct mail works very poorly, unless you call the candidate in advance to generate interest and follow up afterwards.
   
   
3. Have a recruiting mentality. Be prepared to do a great job of selling the potential candidate on your facility, position, potential, and location. Pretend you’re going fishing. You need to use bait that’s going to attract the fish to your hook, and get them to bite.
   
   
4. Use a common sense approach to recruiting. We had a client that lost out on hiring one of our candidates because they wouldn’t pay relocation expenses ($2,000 - $3,000). They then turned around and paid a recruiter fee of $15,000 to fill their position. The recruiter then paid the relocation. The facility ended up spending an extra $12,000 - $13,000. Incredible! We had another client that used a traveler for 26 weeks while they tried to find a local candidate, instead of contacting our out of town candidates. Why? To save interview and relocation expenses. This cost them many times more money than relocation expenses would have cost. Incredible again! Recruiters and travel companies provide very valuable services, but they were certainly not the most cost-effective solutions in these 2 particular situations. These are the same types of clients who feel that our service is not worth the money when it’s time to renew.
   
   
5. Find the time to post every job you’re eligible to on Absolutely Health Care. It’s easy and it’s free advertising. Other job posting sites charge over $300 per job posting each month. We give them to you for free. We’re getting over 3.5 million hits per week on our site, and your job postings also appear on some of the most visited sites on the Internet. We hear about positions being filled from our site every single week. Once your company profile is filled out (you do this once), it only takes about 5 minutes to post a job. I know of 1 client who posted 255 jobs in 1 afternoon. It drives us crazy when a client tells us that they haven’t had success using the service, and yet they didn’t take the time to post their jobs. Candidates contact you directly, and we have more than 100 times as many visitors on Absolutely Health Care than we profile each day. To register for free job postings, please call Ken Levinson at (800) 863-8314 or Harry Gross at (800) 940-7791.
   
   
6. Receive your candidates by e-mail. Our service is much more ideally suited for e-mail than fax. With e-mail, you can view candidates on-line, print out the ones you’re interested in, and trash the others electronically. This is a tremendous paper saver. You also get a much higher quality document, as you’ll be printing out an original, rather than a faxed copy. If you would like to receive candidates by e-mail instead of fax, please call Ken Levinson at (800) 863-8314 or Harry Gross at (800) 940-7791. Profiles sent by e-mail come as a single attachment with page breaks. Some of our clients do not realize that they can view and print out only those candidates that they are interested in. To do so, press down on the Ctrl key on your keyboard. While holding it down, press the P key. This will cause a "Print" window to appear. It then gives you the choice to print "all" (the entire attachment), the current page only, or specific pages. This way, you can either print out all the profiles, or just the ones that you’re specifically interested in.
