22. 26-Sep-07 Candidate Search & Match Bi-directional Matching Example:
23. 26-Sep-07 Candidate Search & Match Im going to touch briefly on why candidate search is meaningful to staffing.
I think that there is a lot of confusion about the types of search that are available on the market today. So, Im going to spend quite a bit of time talking about the different search methods that I see, with the aim of clarifying some of the lingo. At the same time I will highlight who is using the various search types to help you with that part of the puzzle that is, who is doing what.
I will then touch on a few key trends that I see.
I will then will hand things off to Lana.
Itzbig has built their own proprietary matching engine that conducts a bi-directional match and she will be telling you more about the specifics of that in a bit. Ive been waiting a long time to see bi-directional match applied to staffing and recruiting and I think itzbig is a landmark example for us.Im going to touch briefly on why candidate search is meaningful to staffing.

38. 26-Sep-07 Candidate Search & Match Use conceptual search and/or match to access all of the qualified candidates in your internal candidate database
Utilize the tool embedded in your ATS/FO
Replace the embedded tool, custom build a candidate search application or license/leverage 3rd party technology
Train users
Plan on using a lot of 3rd party candidate search tools to access additional candidate pools, but also plan on
Managing the flow of candidates & their data into your internal database
Streamlining the search process (e.g. federate, consolidate, sort and facilitate workflow)
Making sure recruiters are using a variety of search & match tools to access passive candidates and active job seekers
Being strategic about candidate search & match will reduce your sourcing costs and help you to find qualified (perhaps even better) candidates faster than the competition In Summary
