  Hi, this is Stephanie Maas.

  Today I wanna talk to you about mass recruiting tools and what that ultimately means for the candidate.
• 0:13
  The impotence behind this segment today was I recently had one of my all time favorite clients.
• 0:19
  Over the last several years, they have been moving towards more internal recruiting strategies and systems.
• 0:25
  And candidly, for a bank their size, they.
• 0:28
  Absolutely needed to.
• 0:29
  However, I have been getting a lot of pushback on the candidate side, candidates specifically not wanting to be pushed into basically the black hole of submit a resume here and see if you ever get a call back.
• 0:42
  So it's been an interesting adventure trying to balance between the two.
• 0:46
  Again, from my client's perspective, this is absolutely something that they need to do to manage internal recruiting processes.
• 0:53
  From the candidate perspective, they really only wanna be in somebody's quote unquote system, if they're sincere about getting the job or if there's a real likelihood they're going to get the job.
• 1:03
  So in thinking through this, I wanted to share with you how to find that balance.
• 1:07
  First of all, I know a lot of times the internal systems candidly come out of a need of regulations, compliance, and I absolutely get that.
• 1:16
  However, at your higher level, more senior level roles, the pushback from the candidates, especially due to confidentiality, privacy, et cetera, it's gonna get tougher and tougher.
• 1:27
  We have been able to find a really neat meet in the middle solution that I think is gonna serve both my candidates and my clients.
• 1:35
  So let me say to both, to potential clients and potential candidates.
• 1:39
  If you're a client and you find yourself needing to use this type of mass recruiting tool.
• 1:45
  Absolutely do what you need to do, but be flexible.
• 1:49
  There is never a one size fits all solution, especially for your more senior level positions.
• 1:56
  Same counsel to my candidates.
• 1:58
  Candidates.
• 1:58
  I know what it feels like and I know it hate it when you're quote unquote.
• 2:02
  Put in the system.
• 2:04
  But if there's a recruiter involved, they will help you navigate when and where, how, et cetera.
• 2:11
  It's appropriate to be put in the system, so don't be immediately turned off by that.
• 2:15
  Work with your recruiter.
• 2:17
  Let them guide you through how to best do that and when to best do that.
