How does Decision Toolbox differ from traditional recruiting companies?
Decision Toolbox is dramatically different from traditional recruiting firms, as outlined here.   –

How does Decision Toolbox differ from RPO (Recruitment Process Outsouring) companies?
Decision Toolbox was a pioneer of Recruitment Process Outsourcing, but over the years the definition of RPO has become muddled due to the number of companies that have jumped onto that bandwagon. If you ask ten companies for their interpretation of Recruitment Process Outsourcing, you will most likely get ten different answers. However, all or most have the following in common:

• A long term contractual dollar commitment is required.
• The employer gives up some or all control of the recruitment process in exchange for scalability.
• RPO does not focus on building the employer's internal recruitment and hiring competencies.
• Often RPO Recruiters/Sourcers are inexperienced, and located offshore or in remote call centers.
• There is anxiety associated with outsourcing such a core business function.

RPI (Recruitment Process Insourcing) is the next evolution of scalable recruitment. Introduced by Decision Toolbox, RPI removes the above limitations and the anxiety:

• No long term contractual dollar commitment is required.
• The employer gains on-demand scalability while retaining complete control over the recruiting operation.
• RPI enhances the productivity of the employer's existing recruiting team through advanced technology, a unique peer to peer mentoring program and education.
• DT's RPI recruiters are all senior, US-based professionals with corporate and agency experience.

How does RPI differ from RPO?
With RPO, you are essentially offloading recruitment to an outside company – not a bad thing, but a very big step with big ramifications. With RPI, Decision Toolbox brings process, people, tools and technology to wrap around and enhance the productivity of existing internal recruiters, while providing supplemental on-demand scalability as needed, all without a large dollar commitment. You gain scalability, have enhanced control over the entire recuiting operation (through DT's Recruiting Productivty Platform), and you build on the productivity of your internal team. –

Do you specialize?
We have Recruiters who specialize in numerous specific areas and disciplines such as Finance, Engineering, IT, Manufacturing, Human Resources, Sales, Marketing, Biotech, etc. However, Decision Toolbox as a company intentionally limits our number of clients per industry/location sector, so that we can recruit from as many of our clients' competitors as possible. As a result, we have filled thousands of positions - over 2,000 position titles - across virtually all industries, disciplines and levels, and have demonstrated that our process, tools and technology succeed in any arena. –

What methods do you use to source candidates?

1. Our Own Database
   We have cultivated a database of hundreds of thousands of candidate prospects, across myriad industries, disciplines, levels and locations.


2. Internet Mining
   We utilize all of the current and emerging social networks and channels such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc., in addition to traditional resume databases including Monster, CareerBuilder and HotJobs, as well as relevant targeted and niche databases, associations and user groups.


3. Referrals
   Our seasoned recruitment team is extremely adept at referral cultivation the old fashioned way, while our technology promotes referrals on a mass basis.


4. Job Boards
   To make sure we are covering all of the bases, we post every position on the major job boards including Monster and CareerBuilder, as well as relevant targeted boards such as Dice, Craigslist, and niche sites.

All four methods are included in every search. –

Do you handle confidential searches?
Yes. –

Why is a 45 minute brainstorming call with the Hiring Manager necessary?
Every job is the ideal opportunity for someone. Good recruiting is about attracting the right people for the right reasons.

The specs call is where the Hiring Manager and our designated team members collaborate to shape the magnet and filter that will be used to attract and identify your ideal candidate. This is not a job description rehash. It is an enjoyable, creative session in which we explore the open position from many angles so that we understand not only how to recognize the ideal candidates when we see them, but how to attract them in the first place.

Even our new Hiring Managers who felt they did not have time for the call wind up telling us how much they appreciated the time spent. –

Does Decision Toolbox have a minimum or maximum number of positions that can be worked at one time?
No. Some clients hire DT to perform an occasional search here and there. For others we serve as their own recruiting department. Others yet bring DT in to supplement their own team when there is a hiring spike. –

How long does Decision Toolbox take to fill a position?
We standardly source, screen and present the candidate who is ultimately hired within 2 weeks of recruitment launch. 5 days is not uncommon. –

What do you guarantee?

• MAGNET hires come with a 6 month guarantee (conditions apply).
• We will work each position with the same level of urgency, tenacity and care that you would want from your own staff.
• We will utilize and scour all of the major, plus relevant specialty, job boards and resume databases, as well as actively generate referrals to produce the best available prospects for you.
• Every search will be handled by a seasoned professional recruiter who will keep you well informed at all times and work with you proactively, as a true partner, to overcome any obstacles that may arise.
• If a position proves to be especially difficult to fill, we will proactively partner with you to overcome the obstacles.
• All written and oral communications with the public on your behalf will serve as positive PR for your company.

Can I use Recruiting Machine - Decision Toolbox's recruiting technology platform - as my internal ATS?
Yes, and if you meet certain qualifications, at no charge whatsoever! –

What if I already have an ATS/Recruiting System? Aren't I paying for something I don't need?
You are certainly not required to use our technology. DT utilizes Recruiting Machine when we conduct searches because the system was built to be our "secret weapon" in terms of delivering quality hires quickly and efficiently. It also serves as a dashboard through which you can view the real time status of searches, candidates and activity. There is no additional charge for that - it is built into our process. In any case, Recruiting Machine can export all relevant applicant data into your existing ATS or HRIS if desired. –

Is Recruiting Machine compliant with EEO and OFCCP guidelines?
Yes. Recruiting Machine captures and provides reporting on the relevant data. –
