Recruiting Strategy HighlightsÂ
Virtual Talent Bench BlueSky recruiters have established relationships with an extensive pool of qualified IT candidates that have been screened and are available for placement as opportunities surface. Our approach to recruiting significantly minimizes resource acquisition time and allows us to plan ahead and create virtual resource pipelines of exceptional talent that our clients can access on demand. Our recruiting and delivery teams can build a highly customized recruiting program to not only meet the immediate recruiting requirements, but we can build out an extensive resource pipeline to ensure there is a vast candidate inventory that can be activated with speed. This is our best formula to minimize risk within highly complex and critical staffing objectives.
Ensuring Candidate QualityBlueSky ensures that all potential employees are screened through our internal vetting process to ensure that their skills, experiences, and information are accurate to what is represented. Standard evaluations include detailed specifics on a candidate’s related experience and the number of times they have completed similar projects. We assess soft skills that evaluate their communication skills, level of professionalism, comprehension, friendliness, cooperative nature and attitude.
We believe these evaluations, which are performed by seasoned BlueSky employees with expertise in each area, are key to providing only the very best and most qualified resources to represent us. We understand the time that our clients invest within the candidate hiring process is valuable, so we work diligently to provide more visibility into a candidate’s skill set prior to the interview stage which maximizes time within the interview and shortens the overall selection period. Examples of other documents that we would typically share with a hiring manager would include specific technology product experience matrices, detailed skill set questionnaires, and technical vetting forms. In addition to technical skill evaluations and behavioral assessments, BlueSky also performs professional reference checks and credential verifications.
