MEP Jobs can provide you with
candidates in two ways: Talent Alerts and Resume Submittals.
Although both are delivered by email, the approach in contacting these
candidates should be customized to directly reflect how you received
their information.
Talent Alerts simply notify you of new resumes posted on MEP Jobs by
candidates who meet your search criteria - these candidates do not know
who is viewing their resume.
Resume Submittals are resumes of candidates who have viewed your job
posting and submitted their resume for review in interest of the
position - they know you may be contacting them.
A few tips for telling the difference between Talent Alerts and Resume
Submittals:
Talent Alerts - Passive candidates not aware of your open
position
- A Talent Alert is a daily and/or weekly email letting you know
of the newest talent on MEP Jobs - in other words, recently posted
resumes, which meet your search criteria.
- You are not obligated to respond.
- If you choose to contact the candidate, be sure to include an
introduction and contact information.
Example:
Dear Mr. Johnson, My name is John Smith, the hiring manager for The
Heating and Cooling Company. We are currently looking for a residential
technician. I recently viewed your resume posted on MEP Jobs and we are
looking for someone with your skills and experience. If you are
interested in learning more about this position please contact me.
(Follow with your contact information.)
Resume Submittals - Active candidates responding directly to your
job posting.
- A Resume Submittal is an email containing information from a
candidate who has submitted their resume to your job opening posted
on MEP Jobs.
- As a common courtesy, you should contact all of these
candidates. A simple email to let them know you received their
information and will be in contact only if their skills and
qualifications meet the position's criteria.
