“Our recruiters have 40-50 requisitions each. They have little time to source candidates on the internet or filter through and act upon all of the resumes that come in when we post a job on a major job board. In fact, we looked at our yield from job board postings,
and we see quality resume matches from less than 5% of the people who apply. So, now, when they do request a job board posting, we often offer them an alternative. We suggest they use a 3-day resume sourcing project with Velocity instead. Now, instead of getting overwhelmed with a ton of unqualified candidates from a posting, they can get a quick batch of on-target resumes from the
job boards in just a few days.”

“ I admit that I was skeptical when first introduced to the idea of utilizing an external sourcing company…then I was introduced to Velocity Resource Group.  They are so much more than a candidate sourcing service; they are quickly becoming a recruiting partner.  We have given VRG some of our toughest searches and the results have been spot on. Velocity's hands-on approach makes the process so simple and the results so exact that, as a recruiter, you almost feel guilty. Velocity takes the time to thoroughly
understand our company and our hiring needs, and then quickly delivers qualified, quality candidates at a very cost effective price.”

“When we get a request from one of our recruiters for a project that we don’t have capacity to handle, we look at the position requirements, and decide whether or not it’s something our Resume Sourcing firm can help with. What’s really nice is that we’ve integrated Velocity’s services into our ATS (Peopleclick), so that once they filter through the resumes, they can directly assign them – in our system – right to the recruiter’s open requisition. They’re like an on-demand contract recruiter, that we can turn off and on
as needed. It’s worked really well.”

“Velocity is one of the best tools that any recruiter can have in their tool box. Not only have we been able to make quality hires from candidates they've sourced, but we have been able to build candidate pipelines for positions we regularly recruit on as well. The time they save me by providing qualified candidates allows me to focus on those candidates who do fit our needs. And with their web-
based candidate tracking system, you can review and select the candidates you want to see. It's easy and efficient.
In short, I would recommend Velocity to any recruiterwho wants to get right to the heart of the hiring process and to any
company who wants ready access to qualified candidates.”

“The proof is in the results.  More specifically, Velocity Resource Group has been a big reason why we have achieved an average time-to-fill of 21 days, and significantly lowered our cost-per-hire over the past 2 years.  Reducing both time-to-fill and cost-per-hire
has undoubtedly had a positive financial impact to our bottom line.  Additionally, the unique capabilities and offerings of Velocity have reduced recruitment workload for me and other HR Generalists, freeing us up to focus on other significant value-added HR initiatives. 
I know that when we utilize Velocity, we will satisfy our internal and external customers and deliver results.  Quality pre-screened candidates, when they're needed, at an affordable/cost effective price.”

“We didn’t have a recruiting database, or access to as many job boards as Velocity had, so we not only saved recruiter time by outsourcing some of the candidate sourcing to them, but we also leveraged their investments in technology, too.”

“We do high volume, professional level recruiting. We were spending too much time searching the job boards for active candidates, doing the low hanging-fruit work. I needed my recruiters on the phone, getting quality candidates interested in our positions, and managing the process. With 40+ requisitions per recruiter, we didn’t have time to do everything internally, and there was no way
we’d want to outsource the candidate-facing and hiring-manager facing work. That’s where my team really adds value. So, we hired Velocity Resource Group to source resumes from the job boards for us. We’ve been using them for 2 years, and it’s worked extremely well. They’re an integral part of my recruiting strategy now.”

“I want my people building an internal agency. They need to be on the phones networking, sourcing, and building quality
relationships with candidates. It costs me too much to have them surfing the job boards all day. We need to spend time on the things that will differentiate us from the competition – on the things that agencies would be doing. That’s how I save money, get great hires, and get the real ROI down the road. It’s a waste of time for us to spend time on the stuff Velocity Resource Group does for us. They can do it faster and cheaper. And my team is free to do what we do best.”

“It’s not just about a resume sourcing firm’s products, their pricing, or the technology they use. It’s all about their customer service.
If they want to partner with me, I need to know that they’ll respond quickly. And, I need to know that they’re flexible. In the
beginning, we found some of the tools Velocity wanted us to use to be inconvenient. They listened, and they made changes. That’s what’s critical – they listen, and respond.”
