Talent Sourcing
We can help add candidates to the top of your recruiting funnel for high priority roles.
- Calibrate the “ideal candidate”: This can be done via email or call. We ask that you provide the following information:
- Job Description: What are the responsibilities for this position?
- 3-5 Target Companies: Which companies would you like to hire from?
- 3-5 Target LinkedIn Profiles: Even if you can’t recruit them, who are you interested in? What about their profile stands out?
- Location: Do your candidates need to be located in a certain city?
- Industry: Do you prefer candidates to be from a particular industry?
- Generate a list of candidates: Once we gather an understanding of what you’re looking for, we will pull an initial batch of 25 candidates and send them over for your review. Pending your feedback, we will send a second batch of more tailored candidates.
- Feedback: We encourage you to provide as detailed feedback as possible. This can include ranking candidates on a scale of 1-5 and stating why or why not they are a fit. Please let us know which candidates you would like to reach out to
- Outreach: We encourage you to send outreach through Gem, a phenomenal tool that is free to early-stage startups. Outreach is typically more successful when it comes from the founder, however, 645 can help send outreach on your behalf as requested.
- Keep us posted on the status of these candidates in your interview process and let us know if we can support you to close any offers.
