FILEFINDER for In-House Talent Acquisition, Research, and Sourcing Teams

DOWNLOAD THE WHITE PAPER or read on...

Talent Acquisition Software is software designed to acquire passive candidates from (often competing) organizations.  Unlike Applicant Tracking Software, which is designed to manage job applications - which, by definition, only come from active candidates, FILEFINDER helps to recruit passive candidates.

FILEFINDER is all about recruiting passive candidates.

FILEFINDER is a genuine example of a Talent Acquisition System in that it is designed specifically for recruiting passive candidates and has been used by the world’s leading retained search firms for more than two decades.

Just ask yourself…

• Can you view and manage relationships with your current system? With FILEFINDER it’s easy to track all your relationships such as:
  • Sources and referrals – See who has functioned as a source and whom those sources have referred.
  • Org charts – Set-up people hierarchies inside of FILEFINDER to establish who reports to whom. Build call lists from department groupings within a company, cherry-picking the people you wish to speak with. Also, you can also arrange company structures to identify parent-subsidiary and departmental relationships.
  • Colleagues – Investigate who a candidate has worked with or even attended school with. Since FILEFINDER collects all employment and education history, the system automatically makes these relationships available to you.
  
  
• Does your current system include powerful research tools? FILEFINDER comes with easy to use effective and intuitive tools such as:
  • The Research Zone - Identify potential candidates through corporate websites, social networks and news repositories.
  • Web-Grab – Using FILEFINDER’s web browser, you can go to any website and simply drag and drop company and people information right into FILEFINDER – no typing, no switching windows to copy and paste.
  • Data import from popular online sources – Easily import data from websites such as Linkedin® and ZoomInfo to create people and company records. Also save intelligence items from news sources then easily search the database for them.
  • "Morning cup of coffee” reports for your targets – Instantly see the latest news, any activity your colleagues have had with those targets, and anyone added through new research as soon as you open FILEFINDER.
  • Data import from résumés/CVs and external research – You can easily import full profiles from résumés and effortlessly import data from external research into the system – once again, no typing or copying/pasting; even more, there’s no need to worry about duplicate records since FILEFINDER validates all incoming information.
    
• Can your system manage your schedule and emails? FILEFINDER’s tight integration with MS Outlook enables you to:
  • Plan your days – Appointments and tasks created through FILEFINDER automatically appear in your MS Outlook; all changes sync back and forth. Have an updated address book? You can sync contacts, too!
  • Keep in touch – Compose emails to individuals or to hundreds. Tailor messages to each contact in a mass mailing list using the system’s email template tool. Need to make phone calls? FILEFINDER can even dial your outgoing calls.
  • Keep track of all activity – Since all activities are logged into the system, stamped with time/date, click the log tab in a person, company, or project record to see a timeline of all interaction.                 
• Is your system designed to assist your executive search workflow? Use FILEFINDER’s search tools to aid you in the process:
  • Mine for target companies and candidates to build call lists using the built in wizard
  • Refine and prioritize your call list at any time using our sophisticated list management and search techniques.
