How we recruited? Revealing the Insider secrets

Recruitment Drive: Casting a Wide Net

In our recruitment drive, we left no stone unturned! We sent out a whopping 400 personalised emails, followed by enthusiastic phone calls, and even ventured out to schools, libraries, museums, art galleries, and tour guide offices. We spread the word far and wide to connect with diverse individuals and uncover unique perspectives.

To ensure we found the perfect match, we meticulously crafted screeners tailored to various personas and conducted rigorous in-person and phone-based screenings. We emphasised how valuable their feedback would be in shaping a user-friendly client service and motivated them with exciting participation incentives.

Scheduling: Mastering the Art of Coordination

Our behind-the-scenes wizards seamlessly managed the scheduling process, coordinating with busy participants to find the perfect time for their interviews. Juggling calendars and time zones, we ensured that each interaction was convenient and personalised, respecting the participants’ availability and preferences. Our dedicated team left no stone unturned to create a smooth and efficient recruitment experience for everyone involved.

Managing Attendance: Ensuring Engagement

With our participants from diverse backgrounds, managing attendance was a delicate yet essential task. We deployed proactive measures to maintain engagement throughout the process, sending timely reminders and personalised communication to keep everyone excited and committed.

Incentive Handling and Management: Inspiring Participation

We believe in showing appreciation for our participants’ time and effort. To keep their motivation high, we carefully curated a range of incentives tailored to each individual’s preferences and motivations. From generous financial compensation to exclusive access to exciting events and thoughtful gift cards, our incentives showcased our commitment to valuing their contributions and fostering a sense of belonging within the TalkOften community.
