How much of my time will this take?
About an hour at the start, so we can get across your niche, the roles you place and what makes you different. After that, your part is getting on a call with the employers who want to talk, whether that's a Teams or Zoom call or you ringing them yourself. We do the rest.
Isn't this just chasing job ads?
No. By the time a role's advertised, every agency in town is calling. Most of the people we reach aren't advertising yet, so when a role comes up, you're the agency they already know. Employers already advertising your roles do go to the front of the queue.
Can't we find these employers ourselves?
You probably can. Finding them is the easy part. Reaching all of them every week, following up twice, sending in your agency's name and reading every reply is what takes the time. That's the part we do.
Will you email our clients or the people who refer work to us?
No. We leave out your clients and anyone else you name, by domain and by name, and you approve the list and every email before anything goes out.
How soon will we see replies?
Setup takes about two weeks, and sending starts around day 14. We start slowly and ramp up, so early replies often land in the first month. I can't promise yours will, which is why the guarantee runs for 90 days.
What counts as an interested employer?
A hiring manager or owner at a target employer asks to talk, asks about your fees or services, asks for your terms, or sends you a role. Out-of-office, "not now" and unsubscribe replies don't count. We forward you every reply as it came in, so you can judge it yourself.
Do you book meetings for us?
By default, every interested employer comes straight to you, and you call or email them and set up the meeting yourself. It works better coming from you, and you own the relationship. If there's a good reason you can't, we can reply with your booking link instead.
What does it cost?
We'll take you through the price on the planning call, so you know early whether it's in your range. For most agencies, one placement at their average fee covers the first 3 to 6 months.
Michael Gammon at Careers in Demand put it this way: "We were hesitant at first about making the financial investment, but the return on investment has far exceeded our expectations."
How long are we committed for?
Three months to start. That's how long it takes to build, launch and dial it in. After that it's month to month, and you can cancel any time at least 7 days before your next billing date.
Can we pause?
You can pause for up to four weeks a year at no charge, and we don't send over Christmas.
What do you need from us?
An onboarding call, sign-off on the employers and emails, a response to interested employers within one business day, and feedback on what turned into work. Without that feedback we're guessing.
Do we need a CRM?
No. We've been HubSpot partners for more than ten years, so we can fit into the system you use, but you don't need one.
