Intellekt Group

EXPRESSED INTEREST

It lets me know that these candidates are just pretty much seeking general information about the opportunity we're offering. I don't contact them with a hard, full-blown sales call and just reach out to provide basic background information on the opportunity. LUIS RODRIGUEZ SENIOR RECRUITER, INTELLEKT GROUP

CURRENT HIRING NEEDS

The Intellekt Group’s subject matter experts support a variety of operations for the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, law enforcement community, and other United States Federal Government agencies, from business intelligence at home to electronic warfare overseas.

The Challenge

The Intellekt Group provides services to the US Federal Government in the form of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance support. Some of the bigger challenges they have recruiting in our industry is identifying candidates that have a polygraph, finding the right candidate to move to a location that may not be widely attractive, and meeting salary requirements of the candidates within localities that are traditionally a higher cost of living.

How ClearanceJobs Helps

Luis Rodriguez’s role is to provide The Intellekt Group’s senior recruiters support. ClearanceJobs helps to support Rodriguez and his recruiters when they are searching and sifting through resumes on the ClearanceJobs marketplace.

ClearanceJobs’ search parameters are critical to avoiding conversations that are time wasters. Another time-saver on the ClearanceJobs platform is a new feature to engage passive talent in today’s labor market: Expressed Interest.

Expressed Interest alleviates the pressure of hard-selling recruiting and perpetuates networking instead of requiring candidates to formally apply to a position. Making the application process easier for candidates has proven to be positive for Intellekt’s hiring. Rodriguez said, “Expressed Interest has been pretty good. It lets me know that these candidates are just pretty much seeking general information about the opportunity we're offering. I don't contact them with a hard, full-blown sales call and just reach out to provide basic background information on the opportunity.”

Rodriguez emphasized that those small calls could have a big impact, however – after spending a few minutes with a candidate who had expressed interest in a position, Rodriguez hired them for a requisition at Shaw Air Force Base.

Rodriguez said tight search parameters around topics like salary and engaging passive candidates through an easy lift like Expressed Interest helps both target their recruiters’ time and save it.

“It gives us back a lot of time and allows us to focus on those candidates that are willing to accept the salary range,” he said.

The Intellekt Group is happy to report that ClearanceJobs fills 3/5 of their cleared positions across the board.
