Mandate aus dem eigenen Kandidatenstamm gewinnen

Die meisten Agenturen suchen zuerst Mandate und dann Kandidaten. Wer den Weg umdreht, ruft Firmen mit einer Lösung an statt mit einer Frage.

Die Kaltakquise im Headhunting folgt meist demselben Muster: Man ruft eine Firma an, fragt nach offenen Stellen und hofft auf ein Mandat. Die Antwort ist oft dieselbe. Man melde sich, wenn es etwas gebe. Dabei liegt das stärkste Argument für ein Mandat häufig schon in der eigenen Datenbank.

Den Weg umdrehen

Statt mit dem Mandat zu beginnen, beginnt man beim Kandidaten. Eine Kandidatin, die Sie gut kennen, wechselbereit ist und deren Profil auf mehrere offene Stellen im Markt passt, ist ein konkreter Anlass für einen Anruf. Sie rufen die Firma nicht an, um nach Bedarf zu fragen. Sie rufen an, weil Sie eine Person kennen, die ein Problem dieser Firma löst.

Dieses Gespräch verläuft anders. Es geht nicht mehr um Ihre Agentur, sondern um eine konkrete Lösung. Die Firma hört zu, weil die Stelle offen ist und gerade jemand fehlt.

Was es dafür braucht
  • Einen gepflegten Kandidatenstamm. Wechselbereitschaft, Kündigungsfrist und letzte Gespräche müssen aktuell sein. Veraltete Datensätze führen zu falschen Anrufen.

  • Einen Blick auf den Markt. Offene Stellen erscheinen auf Karriereseiten, in Jobportalen und in Netzwerken. Wer sie nur sporadisch prüft, verpasst den richtigen Moment.

  • Den Abgleich zwischen beidem. Erst die Verbindung von Kandidat und offener Stelle ergibt den Anlass für den Anruf.

  • Eine Begründung. Warum passt die Person? Wer das in einem Satz sagen kann, überzeugt am Telefon.

Warum das selten passiert

Der Abgleich ist Fleissarbeit. Für jeden Kandidaten den Markt zu durchsuchen, kostet Stunden, die im Tagesgeschäft fehlen. Deshalb bleibt der eigene Bestand oft ungenutzt, obwohl er der grösste Wert einer Agentur ist.

Wie Sourge dabei hilft

Sourge gleicht Ihre Kandidaten mit offenen Stellen im Markt ab und legt Ihnen jeden Morgen eine Anrufliste mit Begründung vor. Sie entscheiden, wen Sie anrufen. Das Gespräch führen Sie selbst, denn darin liegt Ihr Vorteil gegenüber jeder Software.
