Success in the 1st week
Your 1st week on the platform looks like the following:
- Access onto the platform at www.paraform.com/recruit where you can browse all the roles and starting checking out the tools we've built to simplify your recruiting experience.
- 15 minute onboarding call where we'll onboard you directly, demo the platform, and lay out expectations for recruiters on Paraform.
- Get across 2-3 initial roles. As a new recruiter without a track record, we as a platform will get you across your first roles. Eventually with preferred recruiter level metrics, hiring managers will accept your applications to recruit.
- Submit your first candidate. Using our chrome extension, sourcing tools/partners and calibration features, you'll submit your first candidate to a live role.
- Receive candidate feedback. Given your first submissions, you'll get feedback from the hiring manager, including a rating out of 4 (strong no = 1 , no = 2, yes = 3, strong yes = 4), score card and general feedback on your candidate.
- Get your first interview (hopefully if the above goes well)
After the above you'll be well on track to landing your first hire and working towards preferred recruiter status!
