How Recruiters add Value in the Age of Online Job-boards

 

Recruiter 2

We read a great article recently regarding the continuing rise of the online job search, and the value proposition of recruiting professionals in this digital age. Turns out, recruiters have adapted and refined their focus on offering services that continue to make them extremely valuable to organizations—maybe more so than ever before. You can read the article here, but we wanted to quickly summarize for you as well.

Recruiters provide coaching throughout the hiring process

There’s nothing like personal service—at A-Check, we know full well how important client support is to strengthening a business partnership. Recruiters can work directly with organizations to not only develop hiring strategies, but also provide guidance along the way for each and every hire.

Recruiters may be a better alternative to “Post and Pray”

If you are hiring through an online source, chances are you sift through a ton of candidates who are simply blasting their resumes to every keyword hit possible. While this may be a successful tactic, you may have certain positions that might benefit from the efficiency of professional assistance.

Recruiters can improve the candidate experience

It’s a little like brand management—someone in your corner to help you position your organization and the value of your opening. Again, it’s the personal touch that may just make the difference for the right candidate. Plus, recruiters can help you evaluate your employment strategy to ensure you’ve got your best foot forward.

Regardless of how you recruit for your organization, it’s great to know you have options, both digital and personal.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 2019 New York Budget Includes OCA Fee Increase

UPDATE:
We want to make you aware that the Office of Court Administration (OCA) search fee increase from $65 to $95—described in the article below—has been approved and becomes effective on 4/13/2019.

Monday, April 1, 2019: The New York Legislature passed the 2019-2020 State Budget. Included in this budget is a fee increase for Office of Court Administration (OCA) searches from $65 to $95 (NY A2005, Page 32, Section DD, Lines 31-45)—effective upon budget signature by Governor Cuomo as early as Friday. This fee increase is proposed to further support the New York indigent defense fund and other OCA programs in the state.

We are aware that this fee increase was approved, and will notify you once we have confirmation the new fee has been implemented. This fee is applicable to all New York County searches as the use of the state’s system is required by the majority of the counties within the state.

Another authorized change in this budget states that undisposed cases—cases considered “pending” where proceedings are included in court records but without disposition yet—will no longer be accessible in a criminal records search. However, the NY OCA will have a year from the date the Governor signs the bill to fully clarify and implement this change.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We will continue to follow these developments and will notify you as more information becomes available.
