Virtual Candidate Coaching is Changing the Recruiting and Placement Landscape

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 8, 2006

The Internet has dramatically changed the face of the recruiting and placement business. On an average day, more than four million American adults go online seeking information about jobs.

Online job searches are easy and often result in a flood of applicants for each job opening. This makes it increasingly difficult for placement professionals to make their candidates stand out from the crowd.

Fortunately, just as independent recruiters and placement companies turned to the Internet for sourcing job candidates, they can now use the Internet to give their candidates a competitive edge. It's called "virtual candidate coaching" and it is designed to improve placement success by enhancing a job candidates' presentation and interview skills.

It's obvious that candidates who interview well are far more likely to receive job offers. Yet, because of high volumes and time constraints, most recruiters refer candidates to the hiring company with little or no attention to job interview coaching. The result is that otherwise qualified candidates often fail to get the job offers they deserve.

Eptiva's Job Hunter Pro Virtual Candidate Coaching system solves this problem. It enables recruiters to provide end-to-end job interview coaching via their own one-of-a-kind candidate coaching web portal.

For less than $10/month, a recruiter can have a web portal that provides his or her candidates with the tools they need to do their best during the job interview. Virtual candidate coaching can be a stand-alone solution or seamlessly integrated with an existing website. Recruiters without a website get a web presence in the process.

Customization and profile-based logins facilitate providing a personalized user experience. Recruiters even have the option of posting their job openings via administrative access to a personal job postings module.

Virtual candidate coaching is an example of how independent recruiters, search firms, and placement companies are using Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) to become more efficient and productive. Plus, it's a value-added service that job candidates really appreciate.
