Candidate Sourcing for Moka Analytics

At Vested, we are your premier provider of candidate sourcing for your hiring needs. Here's a brief case study on how we helped Moka Analytics with their recruiting efforts.

As an early stage startup, Moka had a limited budget, a need to scale the business and many positions to fill. They faced a dilemma: how can they scale the business when there's not enough capital for product development and paying exorbitant agency fees for attracting and recruiting talent?

We came in and changed the recruiting game for Moka Analytics. We managed their outreach messaging so they can target active and highly qualified passive candidates.

As we provided candidate sourcing solutions at a low cost, Moka's leadership was able to focus on addressing critical business activities while getting a stream of qualified candidates. They saved a lot of money and continued to use limited capital for business growth.

We saved over 200 hours of candidate search to fill 5 openings for Moka. We delivered 75+ candidates to choose from. Finally, we saved them well over $100K in agency fees.

This is how we impact businesses. We save you money and time so your business can spend it's precious capital to scale the business.

Why Time to Fill is Important

One of the ways our on demand recruiting platform benefits hiring companies is our ability to minimize time to fill.

What is time to fill?

It's a key recruiting metric that counts the number of days between the publication of a job and getting an offer accepted.

The recruiting process is a lot like a conveyor belt in a factory. A piece of metal travels on a conveyor belt and makes many stops along the way before it is converted to an engine.

The success of the factory depends on how quickly and how efficiently the metal is processed through each stop on the conveyor belt.

It's a similar process with recruiting. There are many steps before a company can hire the right candidate.

The process can breakdown in number of ways. A recruiting manager could have an issue with sourcing candidates. Perhaps, the hiring company doesn't market their jobs effectively. Or perhaps the hiring company has a too narrow of a focus and would benefit from opening up the potential pool candidates.

At Vested, we have identified many of these steps and have found ways to minimize the cost and to minimize the time spent in finding the right candidate. We spend all our efforts to minimize the time to fill for all our clients so they can focus on their business and not worry about how to fill an open role.

Flexibility is Key to Your Job Search

At Vested, we not only provide employment search services for our clients, but we also provide career advice for job seekers.

In a recent blog article, we discussed the power of flexibility when seeking a new job. Here is why flexibility is key to job search:

Your Ideal Position May Not Exist

For many people, their ideal position does not exist among the jobs postings that they’re looking through. This could be because of the educational limits of the job seeker, but it can also be because employers haven’t caught up with certain skill sets, technologies, and benefits that the employment seeker has now.

How People Work Has Changed

If you’re focused on sitting at a desk for eight to 10 hours a day, then you’ll need to be flexible with options regarding how you work and where you work from. Many employers prefer a partial telecommuting designation for positions, especially for their higher-level roles, instead of having workers spend 100% of their time in the office.

Your Interests Can Change

Ask yourself this: Have my interests or desires and what I want in a job changed? If the answer is maybe or yes, then consider the possibility of switching industries. You may find that your ideal job is out there, but it’s in a different industry than the ones you were considering before.

How Fractional Recruiting Can Benefit Your Business

Not only is Vested unique in its on demand recruiting platform, but we are also pioneers of fractional recruiting.

Fractional recruiting grew in popularity in financial institutions and academia. A fractional employee divides his or her time among multiple employers. He/she might spend 10 hours in one company and a couple of hours in another.

In a way, fractional recruiting is a form of consulting work.

For new ventures like startups, fractional recruiting could be a way to save costs. Most startups have technical founders who excel in coding or product promotion. However, few are finance experts who are needed in discussions with venture capitalists.

However, an early stage startup would not have the resources to hire a full time CFO or even a Finance Director.

Enter the realm of fractional recruiting. 

In this model, a startup could use the expertise of a part time CFO. He/she can help with the investor decks. Moreover, the startup can use the time to see if there is a long term fit for the CFO.

The CFO will also be doing the same, as he or she decides if the business has long term potential.

Why would an Executive Consider Part Time Work?

Due to life events (such as death in the family, or maternal leave), executives need to escape the full time responsibilities of being a C-Level executive. However, executives all have similar traits: they are ambitious workaholics. They enjoy their job because they know they're good at it.

It's like telling Michael Jordan or LeBron James to stop playing basketball for an extended period. They just get that "itch" to get back into things.

Fractional recruiting is a model that allows them the flexibility to work and deal with out-of-work issues. This is why it's so popular with many executives on leave.

Some executives want to test another industry or are "in-between" jobs. They're not willing to commit to any company or industry at the moment. They want to test out new fields.

Executive fractional recruiting allows them to test different companies (in particular startups). They get a sense about the team, the culture, the product and the industry. If the fit is right, then the executive can stay on board full time.

Fractional Recruiting is a Win-Win

Early stage ventures or businesses strapped for cash get executive level experience.

Investors and board of directors are happy with experienced executives participating in the company, which preserving cash.

Finally, startups benefit by having an experienced candidate working for them, even if it's just part-time.

In the right situation, fractional recruiting is a win-win for both parties.

Disrupting the HR Industry

Here's the Vested candidate sourcing team hard at work at our recent off site.

In our meetings, we identified 19 steps for every successful recruitment. These are steps that each and every recruiter or HR manager will follow in order to source talent.

What do they all have in common? It's all manual!

It's no wonder many startups and small businesses become frustrated at the process. Just finding the right talent can take up so much time. And each second spent reviewing another LinkedIn profile is another second away from scaling up the business.

It's no wonder traditional agencies can get away with charging so much for their services.

At Vested, we use a combination of automation and outsourcing to speed up the process. Using our model, we have not only sped up the process of sourcing the right candidate, but we have also driven down the costs to fill an open role at a company.

We plan to disrupt the recruiting industry. It's an age old industry that has relied for far too long on inefficient processes.

At Vested, we can do it better. We can do it faster. We can do it at a more cost effective price point.

To learn more about how we do it, visit our website.

Candidate Sourcing with Vested Technology

As online candidate sourcing specialists, clients often wonder what we look like. Are we all AI recruiting? Are we just robots behind that fancy website?

Well, here's a pic of Co-Founder Akash with the official Vested mascot.

Vested is a team of finance and tech specialists, working to solve a problem in the recruiting industry: to find an effective and affordable solution to source candidates.

Sourcing candidates can be a long and expensive process. Most startup founders do not have the time and resources to mine LinkedIn for the perfect candidate. If they go to a traditional recruiter, they'll often have to pay as much as 40 percent of the first year salary (for an executive).

As former managers and directors of startups, we identified this conundrum in the sourcing, recruiting and hiring of qualified candidates.

There was definitely a need for an affordable on demand recruiting service.

Thus, Vested Technology was born.

We identified the required steps to source and to recruit for candidates. We used technology and automation, combined with cost effective outsourcing to drive down the costs of these steps. 

And this is our secret sauce that makes our $999/mo subscription work.

So who is behind Vested?

We're business people looking to improve an archaic business model - an industry that needs a little disrupting.

Safety Tips on Applying for Jobs Online

Job search websites have made it possible to post your resume on line and apply for a job on the Internet in minutes. It should make life easier, but instead many job seekers are finding themselves still unemployed and the victims of identity theft as well.
How it works

While searching for a job, you respond to an ad or you are contacted by a company who viewed your resume on line. They encourage you to apply for a position in their company on their website, which requires you to create an account. You create an account, apply for a job, and then never hear anything.

Two months later you are the victim of identity theft and someone is using your bank account. You have unknowingly given vital information to an identity thief posing as a potential employer. Here are tips from the on demand recruiting specialists at:

How to protect yourself

First, never apply for a job on a company website that requires you to create an account. Even if they don't ask you for detailed information like your social security number, an identity thief can learn a great deal about you just with a user name, email and password.

Most Americans use the same email, user name and password on all of their web based registrations, and chances are the one you used when creating an account with their "company" will also get them into your Paypal account, which will in turn get them into your banking and credit information.

As a general rule for all Internet registrations, use a free email address and password for all generic sites like message boards, and a new email address and unique password for any site that stores your financial and private information. Instead, send your resume and application through the regular mail. If this is not an option, that is a big red flag for an identity thief posing as a company.

Check with the Better Business Bureau before applying to any company. This is especially true for work at home jobs where you have to fill out tax paperwork and send it in. You'll fill out your paperwork, with social security number, send or fax it in and then it's gone into their hands and you never hear back from them.

Be wary also of established companies that contact you. It is not hard to fake a legitimate looking website and official email. If the email does not send you to the company's main website or if there is no contact information, chances are good it is an identity theft scam.

Identity theft is everywhere on the net, and while you're looking for your perfect job make sure to use these precautions to protect yourself. Best of luck in your job search!
