How can itris help with new business?

There may be some features in itris 9 that don’t jump out at you as being a useful tool for bringing in new business. Have a read of some of our suggestions below on how you can utilise the functionality.

References

Taking a reference often results in a new job being picked up due to the professional approach of an agency vetting applicants.

This also comes across as a softer sell in terms of your agency, with it being indirect.

A line manager is more likely to communicate with you than an unsolicited call or email to see if they have any vacancies.

Additionally, if the reference being obtained is for the applicant’s current place of work, there may be the potential to backfill the job they are leaving.

Relationships

From a business development perspective, recording relationships could be of value in terms of networking as well as rapport building when looking to pick up jobs.

You might become aware of who a contact you are recruiting for, previously worked and got on with. This person could be approached as a means of trying to work with another company and their like for the contact you are currently working with.

CV Marketing Hub

The CV marketing hub provides the facility to market applicants to contacts that are employed by organisations you are keen to work with, on mass,
with the best-case scenario aim of placing the applicant you have speculatively sent or at the very least picking up any vacancies the organisation has.

Additionally, the CV marketing hub is useful as a means of making existing clients aware of exceptional applicants who you feel they would jump at the chance to employ,
even though there might not currently be a live job to match, in the hope of making an easy placement with them.
