Goals for Today’s Presenta7on
The Basics in Tool Selec<on
Acquire Some New Tools
Begin to have you view tradi<onal tools outside the box and recognize
new tools in a different way.
Use the tools that work for you the way you want to use them.
The tools do not control you.
You control which ones you are going to use and how you are going to use them.
If you are following standard levels of professional conduct and company policies in your sourcing efforts, when you deliver a candidate to a hiring manager do they care how
you got there?
Ques7on Every New Tool
Plan, Time, Budget & Skill
Plan
• Does this help me accomplish my plan of finding the best possible candidate for a posi<on?
• Might it be useful in the future, are you sure?
• Keep track of possible tools for future use. (Google Docs)
Time
• Do I have <me to incorporate this in my plan?
• Is it going to save or waste my <me? (2 users)
• Has the tool changed since I first used it? Technology and people change – can I get demo or re‐trained? Especially for paid and Beta tools.
Budget
• Is this worth the money?
• Do I have <me in my plan or the skill to find a less expensive or free tool?
• Do I need a new tool or a person to do the work?
Skill
• Am I actually going to use this?
• It might be right for others but is it right for my search and my comfort level?
