Understanding How Employers Find Qualified Candidates
To understand what makes a job search successful, you must first consider the most effective, affordable, and popular ways in which hiring managers recruit their candidates.
Hiring managers first try to promote from within their own organizations because they do not have to spend money to recruit the candidates they already know. Failing that, they will go through the stack of résumés they already have. If a resume has been sent directly to the hiring manager, it demonstrates the candidate’s interests in the hiring manager, the department, the company, and the job. This makes the candidate seem very impressive and saves the company the expense in recruiting. Of course, hiring managers are also excited to speak to personally referred candidates and candidates who stop by the office with their résumés in hand. If these options are unavailable, the hiring manager must turn to the company's Human Resources (HR) Division for help.
HR representatives also have to conduct their recruiting practices in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible. Their first course of action is typically to go through any existing résumés they already have on file. If there are no good prospects in the file, a representative may place a job advertisement on the company's Web site. This is free of charge and entices candidates who are already interested in working for the company. If these techniques do not work, then the HR Department must begin spending money to find qualified candidates.
Depending on the budget and type of candidate needed, the HR rep may first alert recruiters to the available position. This can be extremely expensive; recruiters are typically compensated about 25% of the candidate's first-year salary. For these fees, at least the candidates are prescreened, because to ensure repeat business with the company, recruiters work very hard to make sure their "product" (the candidate) is highly qualified.
Another common approach is to place an advertisement either on a Web site or in the newspaper. Newspaper ads can elicit some results from local candidates, and industry-specific Web sites entice candidates with specific career paths. Advertisements placed on major job search Web sites such as CareerBuilder.com or Monster.com can cost more money and generate an average of 200 responses from candidates with more general motivations. These candidates may or may not know anything about the company and often apply to several jobs for which they are unqualified. Dealing with these applicants can cost quite a bit and generate a lot of work for HR representatives.
As a last resort, HR divisions will pay the thousands of dollars, typically spending at least $2,000 per month, to view posted résumés online. This requires the HR rep to do all the work in locating, researching, and contacting candidates who may not be the least bit interested in the job or the company. Generally speaking, the only companies that spend the money to go through listed résumés are large corporations needing to fill many different positions and major staffing firms, colleges, or "get rich quick" businesses trying to sell their products or services to the general public.

The 360 Approach
These statistics are the reason that AspirationsResume.com has partnered with the nation’s most reputable company in the business of finding verified contacts for job seekers. Utilizing a program developed for people who do not have the time or desire to research key industry connections themselves, our professional networking partners can do the work for you.
Only 20% of all jobs are listed in newspaper classifieds or posted online; the rest are filled beforehand through informal contact or referral networks. We help serious candidates break into the unadvertised market. Our structured approach, dynamic team, and patented multitiered database of over 30 million professional contacts make us the perfect “champion” for serious executives and professionals. This program dramatically increases your placement percentages for the job you want with the compensation you deserve.
Our partners now specialize in custom research and information verification, providing job seekers with confirmed contacts in select organizations. Highly trained professionals provide job seekers résumé distribution tools in addition to finding specific people in targeted companies.
Benefits Available:
- Custom Research – Detailed information on employers at 100+ companies tailored to client criteria. Contact names, addresses, and phone numbers verified by our experienced research team.
- Verification – Data manually confirmed and cross referenced enabling effective follow-up.
- Targeted Document Distribution – First class posting of letters to verified contacts.
How It Works:
Once you order a minimum of 125 contacts, AspirationsResume.com will match you with an expert in the 360 Program. The expert will work with you to select your target industries and your desired company size/type, geographic preferences, and company contacts. Basically, you will advise the type of company you'd like to work for, where you would like to work, and what caliber of boss you'd like. For example, if you want a job as a distribution professional, the expert will research distribution managers in the city where you'd prefer to work. Within seven business days of determining your parameters and preferences, you will be sent a minimum of 125 verified contacts in a list that looks like this:
Typically, the list will exceed 125 contacts, and you will need to select the ones you'd like to have. If you'd like to select more than 125 contacts, that's fine too, and additional contacts will be charged to your account. Upon your final selections, you'll get the names of the hiring managers, street addresses, and phone numbers for all of the contacts you ultimately select.
The Automatic Job Search
Not only can this service find all of your contacts, but for an additional fee, your résumé can be printed and mailed to all of your selected contacts. Then all you have to do is sit back, relax, and wait for the phone calls to start streaming in.
Can You Do It Yourself?
Of course you can, but statistically speaking, it will take you at least a month longer to find a great job by responding to job advertisements and using recruiters.
- Recruiters: Although you should be working with a recruiter whenever possible, that is only 28% of the pie! Many companies prefer to hire direct. Recruiters work with the advertised market, and perfect timing is essential. Out of 100 job seekers, only 5-28 will be successful using this method. Use it, but don’t rely on it completely.
- Personal Networks: You should also have your own network, but you need to keep in mind that the job market is a numbers game. Statistics show that using your own network will bring only a 33% chance of success because most job seekers do not have 125 executive contacts of their own. Studies show that for a $100,000 position job seekers need over 100 executive level contacts just to obtain four interviews! You can accelerate your search by getting 125 additional executive contacts in one week!
- Contact Research: Of course, you can conduct your own research, but it takes time. In fact, it takes one hour to properly research a company. Researching 125 companies takes 125 hours, so if you spent 40 hours a week to find 125 properly researched contacts in companies that meet your criteria, the project would take you over three weeks to complete. We can provide verified contacts in 125 targeted companies. That's 125 specific individuals in only 5-7 business days.
An Investment in Your Future
The employment market moves rapidly, and great positions are often filled within days. The cost of missed opportunities, lost salary, and wasted time can be dramatic. Consider the power of having multiple employers interested in you. Our program does away with the “desperation” of a traditional job search. Using a structured, scientific approach, you can connect with thousands of potential employers, receive multiple job offers, and control your next career move.
Costs for Service: We charge $4.00 per verified contact and require a minimum of 125 contacts per client. Therefore, we require a minimum deposit of $500 to begin. Mailing distribution starts at $1.75 per contact for up to three printed pages per application and goes up an additional $0.30 per page to meet paper, additional postage, and manual stuffing costs. All additional verified contacts (above 125) and all mail services will be charged to your account upon completion of the order.
