This process relies heavily on an open and transparent relationship between the recruiter and our client. The foundation of this process is always the job brief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The job brief is an opportunity to dig into your story as a company and start to paint the picture of what the successful candidate would look like. We ask questions like;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Can the candidate come from outside of tech and, if so, what type of background will they have?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is your average deal size, and how complex is the sales cycle?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What are the &#8220;success stories&#8221; of existing staff that we can promote?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What key areas of your value proposition set you apart from the competition?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is the split between net new business acquisition and account management?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How autonomous is the role?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What are the key challenges faced in the role?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">What are your growth plans?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have there been acquisitions in the past few years, and what has been added to the stack in that time?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">These questions, along with many others, allow us to form a picture of who we will approach at the right time with the right message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are talking to talent all day, every day and the job brief is also an opportunity to tell you what is being said and what the market expectations are. If these expectations don&#8217;t match the job brief, then it&#8217;s our job to point this out and try to find a happy medium so that no one&#8217;s time is wasted and you get a window into the market that is accurate and realistic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ultimately, a detailed, deep dive at this stage of the process sets us up for success and is the key part of the chain that makes the following three steps of our recruitment process possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">BUILD YOUR TEAM WITH ELITE INDUSTRY EXPERTS<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Benefit from Pulse Recruitment&#8217;s expertise in <span style=\"color: #2c9a63;\"><a style=\"color: #2c9a63;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pulserecruitment.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IT, sales, and marketing recruitment<\/a><\/span> to secure the finest professionals in APAC and the US.
