What Can We Do?- Simple communication between screening team,
recruiter AND the on-boarding coordinator. - Send a contact sheet to the screening team as a
reference for who they should contact after screens are complete. - Alert recruiting not to start the candidate under ANY
circumstances until alerted by the screening team.*

Example of Exceptional Communication and Service
Vita Pace- TSM Legal
Opportunity: From my first introduction with this employee, her goal was to be hired on full time by the client and she was willing to work as hard as possible to get there. I was contacted by the client and they indicated that her performance was starting to dwindle and they were not sure she really wanted to be there anymore. They still wanted to eventually make an offer only if her performance were to improve.
Action: I had the opportunity to coach this employee and help her prove herself on assignment so she can reach her goal of full time employment. I wanted this employee to reach her goal because she was so determined and I wanted the client to see that we did place the right candidate for the job and she would be a great addition to their organization. Result: I connected with this employee once a week to discuss her attitude and overall performance. I helped her to grow professionally and give her advice on how to interact within the internal structure. When I connected with the client they indicated she was improving. The client put in the offer the last week of May and luckily it was more than the employee wanted initially. After being on assignment for 8 months and all her hard work, she reached her goal of being hired on full time.
