FAQ
Job Candidate FAQ
Can I link my social networking accounts?
Answer.
Yes. You do this yourself by linking your social networks and any other URL link that best represents your career worth in your free Personal Brand Profile where indicated.
Is my data secure?
Answer.
Yes. Our system is a non public view site. You will be required to create an account login where you must authenticate yourself. All data is securely protected using the latest technologies. All conversations you have with employers will remain confidential.
What is the difference between the candidate memberships?
Answer.
Our Free Membership provides you with an opportunity to be a part of our non public view social recruitment pool database. Here you showcase your career worth via your personal brand profile to member employers to discuss jobs without job ads.
Our other Candidate Memberships are paid coaching support offerings to guide and assist you in your career as your career needs change and to develop your overall Personal Brand to stand out and be seen.
Do I need to upload my resume?
Answer.
No. You are not required to upload a resume. After registering your account, you complete all the details required in your Personal Brand Profile where you link your social media, any online resume you have or any other URL link that best represents your career.
How is Recruitment Pool different?
Answer.
Recruitment Pool operates as a member only, social recruitment offering to both employers and candidates. We call it our social recruitment pool.
We are not a Recruitment Agency and we do not post job ads either. Neither are we a social networking site.
We provide a social connection between employer and candidate where inevitably job discussion takes place. This job discussion replaces the need for a job ad. The customisation of a candidate’s response to a job vacancy is through this job discussion supported by their Personal Brand Profile that links their online career content.
In addition to this, we also provide employers and candidates with support coaching services which are paid memberships.
Do I get to talk with employers directly?
Answer.
Yes. We provide a social recruiting system that is intended to connect employers direct with candidates in a social context. Candidates do this by registering a Free Profile Membership and socially apply to roles and Employers do this by registering a yearly Profile Connect Membership and post job vacancy discussion groups.
All other membership offerings involve RP Facilitators and our Industry Leaders to support the social recruitment needs of employers, and coaching support needs of job seekers.
Do I apply for jobs?
Answer.
There are no traditional job ads to apply to. By registering your free Personal Brand Profile, you become part of our social recruitment pool, allowing an Employer to search on profiles when they have joined as a Profile Connect Member.
Alternatively, you may ‘socially apply’ to a job vacancy through your free personal brand profile, by joining the relevant job vacancy discussion group that an employer may have created, where you collaborate direct with the employer regarding their role and why you are the ideal candidate for them. The employer then decides, from those that have discussed the vacant role with them, who they would like to interview.
Does it really work?
Answer.
Depending on the type of Candidate Membership, Job Seekers have been getting noticed by employers, getting to interview stage and have been able to gain career and personal brand clarity and traction through our coaching model with our industry leaders and RP Facilitators.
How different is it to traditional methods?
Answer.
We are a unique social recruiting company where our methods are different to traditional recruiting and job seeking methods. We don’t just take your details down just in case a role comes up. We don’t filter candidates either. And you no longer have to apply for roles with your resume again.
We provide candidates with control over their career content, allowing candidates to view themselves as more than their resume and provide a system and personal brand concept where you deal direct with employers to discuss job vacancies without the need to apply to traditional job ads.
What is a Personal Brand Profile?
Answer.
A resume alone just doesn’t cut it anymore. A Recruitment Pool Personal Brand Profile is a representation and collation of your ‘online authentic professional self’ to form an overall career image and story of you that can be viewed by an employer in a confidential environment.
Your Personal Brand Profile supports job opportunities and career development. Your career story is waiting to be told!
What is meant by personal brand?
Answer.
A Personal Brand is the way you market you, your career content and your overall career worth to an employer. Remember, there is only one you and you need to differentiate yourself from the job seeking crowd.
Being consistent and concise with your career message and online career content is key to getting noticed.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Answer.
We accept PayPal transactions for our Profile Support Membership. All other Candidate Memberships will be invoiced where you will be required to pay via direct debit into our nominated company account. A tax sales receipt will be issued.
Employer FAQ
Can I hire for any role?
Answer.
Yes. Depending on which Employer Membership you register, you can socially recruit on your own or have our support to socially recruit for you, for any role and for any role level you have.
Note, you will need to decide if the social recruitment offering we provide, fits or supports the recruitment strategy you need at the time to fill a job vacancy.
Is my data secure?
Answer.

What is the difference between the Employer Memberships?
Answer.
Our Profile Connect Membership provides you with a yearly (12 month) unlimited access to our social recruitment pool for you to socially recruit yourself, where you search, connect with candidate profiles and socially recruit any role you have.
Our other Employer Memberships are paid social recruiting support offerings where RP Facilitators socially recruit on your behalf using social media job promotion where we connect with candidates via confidential job discussion and personal brand profile search in our exclusive social recruitment pool.
Do I need to upload a job ad?
Answer.
No. You are not required to upload a job ad with Recruitment Pool. There are other companies that provide this where you still may want to do this in addition to our services.

All other membership offerings involve RP Facilitators and our Industry Leaders to support the social recruitment needs of employers and coaching support needs of job seekers.
How do you attract candidates?
Answer.
We attract candidates via social media job and careers promotion, or drive traffic through your company careers website where candidates come and create free personal brand profiles in our social recruitment pool to stand out, search job discussions and socially apply to your job vacancies. We also discuss vacant roles with our paid candidate members, where we know more than their resume.
Does it really work?
Answer.
Yes, we know so! We support your social recruiting strategies by providing a system that links your job vacancies with online job candidates in a social context, rather than posting job ads on social media job boards. Depending on the type of Employer Membership, Employers can reduce costs significantly when attracting, connecting and engaging talent to vacant roles using our unique social recruitment approach and receive social recruitment support along the way through our experienced RP Facilitators.
Overall, Recruitment Pool is a great tool that Employers can access to support their social recruitment strategies for their vacant roles.
How different is it to traditional methods?
Answer.
We are a social recruiting company where our methods are different to traditional recruitment methods. We don’t take job briefs, advertise your roles, filter candidate resumes to come up with a shortlist and charge you a fortune for the privilege.
We provide employers with a system where you connect with candidates to discuss job vacancies in a social recruiting environment where you view job candidates via personal brand profiles.
Are there guarantee periods?
Answer.
We provide a 30 day money back guarantee for our Two, Five or Ten Role Support Memberships (terms and conditions apply). We also offer a 30 Day Free Trial of our Profile Connect Membership before you need to pay the yearly fee. Overall, our structure is unique and not that of a typical recruitment provider you may be used to who sells recruitment services on a per job basis.
The membership fee you pay up front gives you access to our exclusive membership offerings & services, our social recruitment pool of Personal Brand Profiles and our time in locating candidates that you can interview. It’s up to you how you go about assessing and selecting your candidates in order to determine the right hiring decision via your own selection polices. We’ve also found that success for clients is the immediate savings up front our membership fee provides.
