It was a desire to go back to basics that led Shelli Gafan Levene, Director of specialist recruitment agency Advance in IT, to move to JobAdder in 2019. \u201cFor me, keeping everything simple is what\u2019s going to make me successful right now. Normally I\u2019d use every tech under the sun, but the reason I\u2019m so delighted that I moved to JobAdder is that it keeps things simple and makes me do my job much quicker,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having been in business for nine years, Shelli\u2019s a one-woman operation by choice, with two virtual assistants supporting her. She\u2019d spent eight years with a system that eventually proved to be \u201cvery convoluted and complex to use. It was so many clicks to do something,\u201d Shelli added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think the best way to put it, is that JobAdder will be, on average, one or two clicks per task. Previously, I would have needed three or four clicks,\u201d Shelli said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What also sold Shelli on JobAdder was seeing a demo of the platform\u2019s voice-to-text functionality and having complete visibility of the entire hiring process. \u201cI didn\u2019t have that before. We had to manipulate the data so much [on the previous system] it was exhausting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was at a point last year where I just needed to save time and that equalled saving brain space,\u201d explained Shelli, adding \u201cthe more time I have, the less my brain is crowded with information and the better job I do.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Shelli, JobAdder is \u201ca very straightforward tool with everything in one place. I can see all the jobs that I\u2019m working and I can see very easily if I\u2019m not going to fill some. By closing the ones I can\u2019t fill, I have visibility on whether I need to do more business development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One process she shares is her use of folders. \u201cI never used to put anything into folders [in her previous system] because it was too convoluted to get to. So I created a folder full of [suitable candidates] and prospect companies. When I find a candidate, I go into my folder with companies in, approach those and market people out. To be honest, it\u2019s genius.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shelli breaks down her process even further, having realised it\u2019s never been more important to be thorough. \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m learning. What I do is create a folder for the week\u2019s MPCs (most placeable candidates), save three candidates to that folder and just market those. Once I\u2019ve done that, I\u2019ll replace them with three others. I don\u2019t have to wonder what my goals are or what I\u2019m doing this week. I have to be honest, it\u2019s been a complete gamechanger.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As a result, Shelli explains \u201cI had a record year last year and we can attribute that to having easier processes. Ultimately, I\u2019m using my network as much as possible. For seven years, I\u2019d set myself a goal and I finally did it.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
