Sourcing as a Service

Sourcing as a Service: MatcHR cooperation

At MatcHR we like to work in full transparency. Below is a detailed step by step workflow on how we will work together.

“If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you are doing” - Edwards Deming

Before we start 🏁

Before we start we need to get some information to hit the ground running and align on the right priorities.

You will send us the job descriptions for the roles you would like us to work on

If available you will send us the (estimated) hiring plan for the next quarter(s)

We have an intake call to discuss all requirements of our cooperation:

Discuss the roles we will be sourcing on and hiring priorities

Define the scope of our work (sourcing, screening, scheduling, offering, onboarding)

Discuss the process requirements (e.g. usage of ATS, frequency of update calls, etc.)

Discuss the templates to be used to approach candidates and information that can be shared

Discuss the companies not to be approached from

Discuss the current recruitment process

Align on our reporting cycle

Confirm the start date of our cooperation

Plan follow up meeting

Start cooperation: Hiring plan 🗺️

Depending on the availability of data we will create a hiring plan during the first three days of our cooperation.

If available we like to receive data on (if available):

Time to hire (and troughput time per stage)

Conversions per recruitment stage

Time to fill

We will do market research on the following data points:

Market volume

Salary benchmark

Glassdoor reviews

Current company employees (based on LinkedIn)

Discuss overall hiring plan and optimize recruitment process where possible

Plan daily, weekly and monthly communication moments

Communication 🤝

We like to be in continuous communication with you. However, we have a set of predefined communication moments during our cooperation.

Daily

In the first week and sometimes the second week we have a daily check in to discuss our progress and to ensure we understand your requirements as soon as possible. We give a short update on our actions and our progress and discuss any questions that might arise. We have learned that this helps in building trust and understanding quickly.

Weekly

Every week we have a half an hour update call to discuss our progress. We discuss candidates that are in the process, share some of our learnings and ensure we are aligned on priorities.

Monthly

Every month we have a one-hour review of our cooperation. We share the actual number of all the activities in the month, compare this to previous months and if needed to external data. We share learnings from both sides and agree on the priorities for the next month.
