Reason for the call is that we help businesses to:
• Reduce the the time it takes to fill open positions
• Improve the quality of the people they end up hiring
• Decrease time spent searching, screening, and interviewing applicants
• Improve their screening and interviewing process in order to find the best available
applicants
• Decrease costs associated with finding and placing new hires
• Build top caliber teams leading to the best business results
But I am not sure if you are needing to improve those areas is why I am reaching out.

A lot of business I talk to are concerned about:
• It takes a long time to fill open positions
• Hiring the wrong people can be detrimental to an organization - turnover and higher
costs
• Time consuming to properly find, screen, and interview applicants
• Difficult to determine which applicant to hire and make the right decisions
Are you concerned about any of those areas?

Based on what you have shared, it might make sense to talk more because as I
mentioned, I am with [Company] and we provide recruiting and staffing services:
• We create job descriptions and post the jobs
• Curate resumes and applicants
• Perform screening and present best options
Some ways we differ are:
• We incorporate videos into our recruiting process
• We have an extremely deep database

• We actually worked with a business similar to yours and they had a long time to fill open
positions.
• We helped to solve that by providing our recruiting services.
• This not only helped them to decrease time spend on recruiting, but also improved the
caliber of employees they were hiring..
But I have called you out of the blue and I am not sure if this is the best time to discuss this.
Are you available for a brief 15 to 20-minute call where I can share some examples of how
we have helped other businesses to:
• Reduce the number of days it takes to fill open positions
• Improve the quality of the people they end up hiring
• Reduce the time spent searching, screening, and interviewing applicants
• Improve their screening and interviewing process in order to find the best available
applicants
• Reduce the costs associated with finding and placing new hires
• Build top caliber teams leading to the best business results
Are you available on Tuesday or Thursday morning? Or are you available to continue
talking about this now?
