Perhaps you can pre-screen “long-tail”[1], high potential candidates and connect them with insiders.
You could give a portion of the insider’s referral bonus to the candidate to drive that side of the market.
Candidates don’t have to come out of pocket to incentivize training (if your candidates have a good chance of getting hired) as the insider will get paid by the company.
Different take on this idea. Maybe it already exists?
[1] edit: maybe not the right term of art here, but I mean under the radar candidates (non-ivy, good grades, good work ethic, etc.).
- dchhugani 8y agohello! i like this idea - we'll keep it in mind. again my only concern is when The Lobby does pre-screening without giving any coaching, we again resort to arbitrary measures such as resume, good grades, etc. instead of trying to be a source of coaching, insight, & improvement for candidates. For the candidates that reach a certain threshold on The Lobby (say, 3 insiders screened them over a call and see potential), then something like this makes sense so they can make their money back. Vettery gives candidates a $500 incentive to use them to get hired, which is a nice idea. Thank you!
