"When I started my last role, the fintech startup I was with didn't have much structure to its hiring processes. Most notably, the company didn't really recruit new hires. Instead, it posted job ads and reactively went through applicant resumes. From prior experience that I had, I was familiar with more advanced hiring tools that would allow us to look for and select qualified candidates to proactively approach about job openings. Rather than spending a ton of time going through unqualified resumes, we could target specific folks who were highly qualified. The tool I preferred to use was LinkedIn Profinder, which isn't inexpensive. So I arranged a trial period for the company and introduced it to management. During the trial period, I was able to bring in multiple qualified candidates who interviewed well, and management started to see the benefits of using the service. Ultimately, the CEO and others gave their approval, so I was able to continue with a paid subscription to LinkedIn Profinder, and over the next quarter we filled several senior-level positions in a timely fashion using this new method."
