Why Reflik is Working Hard to Revolutionize Recruiting

By

Reflik is leading the charge in the recruiting revolution, radically altering the way status-quo recruiting is carried out. By utilizing social media, Reflik allows independent recruiters to find better candidates more easily for employers. Internal and external candidates can be reached by referrals on Reflik, ensuring only the best of the best are chosen. This groundbreaking recruiting solution will guarantee quality hires for your company, regardless of profession or industry!

So why did we do it? To connect great candidates with hard-to-fill positions, benefiting the candidates, employers, and recruiters.

We Know – the Job Market Is Tough

When companies are expanding and hiring lots of candidates, competition for the right candidates is tough. When the job market is tight, there are still openings to fill but companies need more than a warm body, they need the best candidate.

We Know – There Are Great Candidates out There

No matter what the job market looks like, there are always great candidates around. Companies and recruiters need a better way to find those candidates – even if they are “passive job seekers.”

We Know – Social Media Use Is Still on the Rise

Nearly every adult in the U.S. is on social media, meaning there is an endless supply of candidates available with the right recruitment method. Social media better connects us both socially and professionally. Reflik allows recruiters to better utilize networks as valuable resources. The best recruiting practices have to tap into social media.

We Know – It’s About Time Crowdsourcing Reached Recruiting!

With the changing face of technology and how we communicate with one another, companies have to move away from job boards and association websites. They aren’t as attractive to the career-set as they once were. In addition, posting with job boards and associations can be more time consuming and more costly than letting the “crowd” find your employees for you. This is crowdsourcing.

We Know – Referrals Are the Best Source of Employees

Employers find that candidates hired through referrals are quicker to hire. They also are a better fit with the company culture – and they stay longer. Unfortunately, internal employee referral programs just don’t often have enough power to fill all available spots. Social media recruiting does.

We Believe – Reflik Fits the Bill

Reflik was designed to use the best recruiting practices in today’s techworld. We take advantage of social media use but still allow recruiters to integrate their own databases. This gives employers the best chance of finding that perfect candidate – and it gives the jobseeker, the best chance to find their dream job.

To pat ourselves on the back just a bit, we believe Reflik is the best recruiting method available on the market today. It is free to use when signing up as a Member, an Employer, or a Recruiter – referral fees are paid only if a successful hire is made – but it is a great incentive.

Reflik is changing the recruiting game through the power of social media and crowdsourcing. We know that the best source of candidates is through referrals. Our referral-driven system uses a proprietary matching algorithm to match great jobs with great people. It’s a win-win-win. Employers win by getting the best candidates through referrals for less money. Recruiters win by accessing more job listings, using our automated system and through hiring rewards. Members and job-seekers win by finding great jobs and getting real rewards. Check out Reflik today to see how rewarding it is!

Social Recruiting 101

By

The job market is tough for everyone.  The economy is improving and companies are starting to hire again – but unemployment is down and there is stiff competition for qualified candidates.  Traditional recruiting is expensive and many companies are eager to find cost-effective alternatives to recruiting firms or job boards.   Those searching for alternatives that provide real results need to consider social recruiting. Social media use has grown exponentially and with  “millennials” coming on board, online social activity is everything.  It only makes sense that social media is the perfect place for companies to find great candidates to fill an increasing number of open positions.

Referrals are still the best source of new employees with a much higher rate of success than other methods, but most internal company referral programs don’t offer as much as a well-executed social-recruiting strategy.

Through social recruiting, you don’t have to wait for a candidate to find you, you can find them.  Social recruiting lets you identify those valuable passive candidates who are already employed but may be willing to relocate to another job if it’s a greater opportunity.   It’s like an online recruiting fair – with no gatekeepers. There are many other perks of social recruiting over conventional recruiting methods.

Reflik is the newest way for companies to find candidates through social media and since a lot of companies – and many recruiters – don’t understand how to effectively use social recruiting, Reflik takes a good deal of the work out of this complex process.

Reflik helps you by automating part of the social recruiting burden by making it easier to:

  • Use LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and other platforms to identify candidates
  • Contact and start direct interaction with those candidates
  • Increase your efficiency
  • Track the hiring process

Recruiting through social media can hasten the hiring process by providing you with those valuable referrals that fit your company better.  You can reach passive candidates more easily and source new employees in a different, more efficient and less expensive way.

Reflik helps you remove the geographic barriers that you may have in traditional job listings – like the “location” requirement that filters out your listing on many job boards due to the searcher’s current location.  We also automate the process, so that your contact and subsequent interaction is simple, transparent and tracked.

Most employers know that referrals are the best source of new employees.  Research has shown that since referrals are essentially “pre-screened,” they are often faster to hire, fit better with the company culture, and stay at the company longer.  Despite knowing that referrals are better, many companies have a hard time finding enough candidates because they rely on in-house referrals and the choices are limited.

Posting a job is free, using it to recruit new hires is free.  Employers only have to pay a referral fee if a successful hire is made.  Employers aren’t risking anything by using our service – and even when a successful match occurs, it is often much less expensive than most other methods of recruiting.

Why Crowdsourcing Works for Recruiting

By

Crowdsourcing is a “buzzword” that describes procuring services or goods from the “crowd.” Crowdsourcing is being widely used for soliciting funding, ideas and many other things, but the newest use of crowdsourcing is for talent acquisition.

Talent Crowdsourcing is the practice of leveraging a large community of independent recruiters, staffing firms, and in many cases industry professionals, to recruit and hire talent that matches the strategic and cultural goals of an organization.

Companies know that referrals are the best way to find candidates to fill open positions.  Referrals are often more qualified, take less time to hire and “fit” the company culture better but, in most cases, sources of good referrals are limited to in-house recruiting programs.

Companies may also know how much time people spend on social media – but they don’t know how to take advantage of it and put the two together.  The answer – crowdsourcing for recruiting.

Reflik is a game-changing system in recruiting based on social media networking and crowdsourcing.  We help you use the “crowd” to find applicants for your job openings.
