We needed to recruit differently.
Our partnership had to look different.

Service
Partnership
![Page 11: Talent42 2017: Netflix and Fill - Laura Pruitt and Sydney Busch](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022021422/5a6e1c787f8b9a484d8b6909/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Throw away traditional SLA’s
“Service” shouldn’t be the focus
Give feedback
And lots of it, coming from all
directions
Aspects of our Partnership
Always be transparent
With each other & with candidates
Don’t stop experimenting
A stale recruiting process is your
enemy

Making it happen.

1. Build strategies. Don’t stop at one.
Sourcing Strategy● Tools: Linkedin, Crunchbase, Github, Stackoverflow, Twitter, Blog posts, Meetups, Internal
Events, etc.● Divide and conquer - how do we optimize our strengths?
Referral Strategy● Don’t wait for referrals to come to you, seek them out● Socialize and expand your network (internally and externally)
Networking Strategy● Build for the short- and the long-term● Get specific

2. Use the data to guide, not dictate.
Metrics Success● Response rate● Conversion through each stage - is there a reason candidates aren’t working
out?● Pipeline Speed & Volume
