Collecting Employer Information (Per Scholas)

  • LinkedIn and personal outreach are primary methods for initial contact with employers.
  • Employer information is gathered informally during initial conversations, focusing on:
    • Promotion rates within the organization.
    • Anticipated hiring needs for the upcoming year.
    • Key technical and soft skills desired in candidates.
  • Per Scholas uses Salesforce, a Client Relationship Management (CRM) platform, to keep track of and manage employer relationships, communication history, and relevant data.
