For years, we've diligently crafted and sent out our weekly newsletter, aiming to keep our valued candidates informed and engaged. It was a staple of our communication strategy, a way to stay connected in the bustling world of recruitment. However, at Valeco Recruitment, we believe in continuous improvement and listening to our community. So, we asked for feedback.

And what did we hear?

"We'll reach out."

The overwhelming majority of our candidates expressed a preference for a more direct, personalized approach. They wanted to take the reins, to initiate contact when they had updates, questions, or simply wanted to check in.

So, we listened. And we changed.

Our New Approach: Candidate-Driven Communication

Instead of pushing information out, we've shifted to a model where candidates take the lead. We simply ask that they reach out to their dedicated recruiter every week, between Friday and Sunday, to provide updates on their job search, availability, and any relevant changes.

Why This Works (For Everyone):

• Empowerment: It puts the candidate in control, fostering a sense of ownership over their job search.
• Efficiency: It allows us to focus our efforts on those who are actively engaged and serious about finding new opportunities.
• Authenticity: It helps us identify candidates who are truly dedicated to partnering with us, not just passively receiving information.
• Real-Time Updates: We receive timely updates, ensuring we're always working with the most current information.
• Identifying Serious Candidates: This new system is brilliant at showing who is serious about their job search. Communication is a key attribute in any role, and those who can consistently communicate with us, show that they are serious about their career.
• Client Benefits: For our clients, this translates to a pool of highly motivated and communicative candidates. We're presenting individuals who have demonstrated their commitment and proactive nature, reducing the likelihood of "time wasters" or candidates who haven't fully understood the role requirements.

The Results Speak for Themselves

We're thrilled with the initial results. We're seeing a more engaged and responsive candidate base. We're having more meaningful conversations, and we're able to quickly identify those who are genuinely ready to take the next step in their careers.

Why Communication Matters

In today's fast-paced job market, communication is paramount. It's not just about sending and receiving information; it's about building relationships, fostering trust, and demonstrating commitment. By encouraging proactive communication, we're not only streamlining our process but also ensuring we're connecting our clients with the best possible talent.
