SUMMARY

In this webinar Linda Pierson will discuss reverse marketing strategies to place priority job seekers into the hidden job market.

The focus is on making contact with specific employers. It will explore getting the job seeker and employment services practitioners ready to make a reverse marketing call, and how to manage the call including handling objections.

The focus of this webinar is not on vacancy development for job matching.

So what can you expect?

It will cover becoming ‘one with the employer so that we understand the fit with the employee and the new opportunity that presents. Reverse marketing isn’t all about providers getting a placement, it’s much bigger than that! The placement is the result – the real key is understanding what the employer is looking for and matching a strong candidate to an opportunity.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

  • Preparation is key
  • Be in a positive mindset
  • What approaches have the best results
  • What to look for, what to listen for
  • What is the best way to respond to objections
