Hotlist Feature for Benchsales Recruiters

Hotlist Posting Feature

Solution Overview

To address the inefficiencies in connecting bench sales recruiters and recruiters on jobfynder.com, we can develop a centralized, data-driven platform within jobfynder.com that streamlines the process of sharing and accessing candidate information. This platform will allow bench sales recruiters to input detailed profiles of their consultants, and enable recruiters to search, filter, and connect with suitable candidates effectively.

Building upon the initial solution, we will now integrate a special option for bench sales recruiters to post their hotlists directly on jobfynder.com. This feature aims to replicate and enhance the traditional email hotlists by providing a structured, searchable, and accessible way for recruiters to view available candidates.
