What we call a “Searcher” in ProDoo is simply the person looking for the best possible talent to help her team. There is a misconception in the industry that it’s hard to find the appropriate talent. ProDoo makes it simple and helps you doing that without the need of an agency or broker.
ProDoo founders and contributors have many years experience in searching for talent and worked with countless hiring mangers to enable a smooth process with focus on quality and speed.
Reduce lead time – By pasting a job description, or defining the role and the skills needed, you get instant information on who is available and can set the collaboration up without an agency in the middle.
Talent transparency – You get instant feedback on how the iPros skills correlate with your needs, without any risk of resume tampering to match your request.
Competitive prices – Since ProDoo removes the middle man, and you will receive full transparency on costs for your talents, no commission or fees are negotiated on top of the actual cost.
Full support throughout the process – ProDoo provides all the support needed to find talent, monitor market, plan your outsourcing, onboarding, time registering etc. to help you with a smooth process around all of your independent professionals.
We are actively collecting questions and needs from Searchers and Workplaces to refine ProDoo and our services. These are some of the most common questions, and a short answer how we are helping you.
How can we find the best possible match right now? The search for skills always presents you with the best match right now. You will be able to see who is available immediately as well as the ones within a month. If you want even more updated availability, you can monitor the market with the add-on Heads up that provides you with alarms or even automations if the right match becomes available.
How do we know when our preferred freelancers are available? The iPros you have worked with before, or the ones you have in your network, can be monitored for availability, or if they acquire new skills, so you can be first in line to offer them a new gig.
How do we know if someone internally can do the job instead? By installing a private domain with or service Internal Gig Economy (IGE) you can create a fluent workforce internally where projects or needs are staffed with internal talent first, and if no internal talent is available you will receive automatic suggestions on available iPros to help staffing up the needs.
How do we get an overview of which skills costs the most? By using add-on tools to ProDoo like TBrand and Sense, you can get a full picture of what different skills cost to staff with iPros. You can create a long term strategy in how to do talent branding and ensure that hiring managers throughout your organization are hiring iPros according to the best possible talent plans.
How do we know it’s the right price and skills? You don’t need to be an expert in the skills needed to find the right match. ProDoo is built on correlations and machine learning to help you identify the iPros with the best possible prerequisites to solve your need now. You will get a simple score to evaluate from. Prices comparisons based on roles and skills in specific locations, can be found in add-ons like NextStep or Sense.
How can a non-specialist find expert knowledge? Paste a job description into our search engine, or by using the add-on Phillip (a virtual recruiter) and AI will help you finding how different skills correlate with each other. By sending the iPros all this data with the Opportunity, they will be well informed on the match and needs you have, no matter if you’re an expert or not.
How do we know what skills to outsource? In different markets, industries and locations, skills and talent might have different costs and availability. To ensure your workplace or organization takes the correct approach to internal skill building and outsourcing, ProDoo have specific add-ons for talent branding (TBrand) and for mapping the the staffing in different projects (Sense).
How can we speed up the lead time from need to fulfilment? As soon as you have a list of the skills needed, or evn a job description, ProDoo can make the entire process ready in minutes. It’s fully automated if you wish.
It’s too cumbersome to search, evaluate and select. Yes we know.. The add-on Phillip for Workplaces will help you do the cumbersome work, and provide you with a top 3 candidates within minutes, so all you have to do is talk to them and evaluate the personalities.
How can we be proactive when sourcing freelancers? There are situations where proactivity is crucial. Scarce skills, high demand or other factors, can make it really hard to find the right person for the job. With the add-ons HeadsUp, and Assort, you can make sure your response time is fast, and aligned to the strategic and tactical outsourcing decisions for your organization (the add-on Sense). Artificial intelligence (AI) will monitor the market for you and give you heads up when new possibilities for recruiting top talent emerges.
How can we trust our agents pricing and matching? There is always a lack of transparency when working with agents. I the agents are using ProDoo for recruiting, you can rest assured that all prices are transparent and thereby correct. We do recommend that you skip the middle man and use ProDoo directly to remove these discrepancies. You can ask for recruiting services through ProDoo to get the same service as through agents, but with an absolutely transparent commission on all successful staffing.
How do we minimize admin costs with recruiting and onboarding? If you choose to use the Workplace Lifecycle apps you will reduce the administration and lead time in the entire process tremendously. It’s hard to give exact estimates since you might me very efficient in advance. But full automation and control usually doesn’t exist in advance. We provide that.
