Near real-time job discovery for recruiters
Introduction
In recruitment, timing is everything. But when you’re relying on unreliable job boards or trawling company websites, you’re already behind.
For agencies and executive search firms in competitive sectors like tech and professional services, delays in discovering new opportunities mean lost revenue. Manual research isn’t scalable and won't give you the competitive edge.
Near real-time job discovery arms recruiters with visibility into fresh employer activity - enabling you to act before the competition does.
In this post, you’ll learn how near real-time job discovery transforms recruitment teams from reactive to being ahead-of-the-curve.
The Problem: Delays Finding New Listings Cost Your Business
Recruiters today are expected to be part market analyst, part sales lead hunter, part talent matchmaker.
But often the available resources finding roles aren't built for speed:
- Mass job boards contain a lot of noise and unverified listings
- Searching each employer's careers page is incredibly time consuming
- Manual research drains time and misses timely key signals
With your competitors also chasing the same new listings and candidates every hour of delay reduces your chances of placing top candidates.
The Shift: What Near Real-time Job Discovery Actually Delivers
Near real-time job discovery means you and your team can view newly published roles soon after they are published by employers - often just within a couple of hours - based on the listings customised to your specialism:
- Sourced directly from employers
- By your target sector and/or target employers, seniority levels, location, job title and more
- Verified and active listings
- Delivered in your own private and customised job stream
It's not about trying to keep up with the market. It's about proactively acting on it.
