Encore Search Management Software Built with Resume Firewall® Technology.

Searchlight is our "better mousetrap."

It's a fully integrated Encore add-in for recruiters who want to capture candidate information via the Web—and who want control over who makes it into their database. With Searchlight you can find the hidden gems and throw out the fool's gold.


Primary GoalsRésumé Firewall
Practicality
Managing résumé volume is a growing concern in the executive recruiting industry (see related article). Thanks to the industry's increased Web presence, candidates have the ability to submit their résumés to twice the search firms in half the time. The goal of Searchlight is to remove the struggle from a process that should be a benefit, not a burden.

Efficiency
Dramatically reduces data entry time while increasing the knowledge collected. Not only is Searchlight fast, easy and inexpensive, but it turns the old notion of "unsolicited résumés" on its head.

Selectivity
Collects data from potential candidates, and using Cluen's exclusive Resume Firewall technology, allows you to let in the quality candidates and keep out the ones you don't want.

Integration
Uses the existing Encore Recruiting Software interface and reporting engine to allow you to search the candidates you've collected, and it ties directly to the terminology that you've already set up in Encore.

Low Maintenance
Avoids expensive investment of both time and money in web site data collection by leveraging Encore's existing architecture. You'll have a custom online recruiting solution without the headache.

Collaboration
Keeps your clients in the loop with minimal effort. The Searchlight 360 feature lets you publish select job search data to the Web for your clients to access via a secure link. Communication is reciprocal—your clients can submit notes on potential candidates that you load directly into Encore.

How It Works
Setup


Configuration
Through Encore you determine a set of questions to ask a candidate and map the results to fields you are already using. You can configure colors, graphics, layout and logo to match your existing web site without any programming necessary. If you do not currently have a web site, we can recommend an inexpensive way to get started.

Searchlight generates a link that can be added to your web site in minutes. Your setup is automatically sent to our secured server, monitored 24 hours a day. Setup is easy—you'll be up and running by the end of the day.

What the Candidate Sees
A candidate on your web site sees the link to submit their résumé to you. Searchlight remains invisible to the candidate—it looks just like an extension of your web site.


Entry

Clicking the link pops up an HTML form in the browser (since it's cross-platform compatible, Windows or Macintosh users can both submit through Searchlight). This is where the candidate enters their basic information and a copy of their résumé. They then answer the specific questions you created to turn flat information into rich data.

For example, you may want them to list where they are willing to relocate or the value of their portable business. Their answers will tie directly into your existing Encore terminology.

This allows you to ask additional information not found on a résumé—questions you might normally ask in an interview.

For each type of position you recruit, you can create a different set of questions.

What You See

Using Encore's powerful reporting technology, you can pinpoint the quality records in your Searchlight database that you want to promote (transfer) into your Encore database. Since you have already mapped your Searchlight questions to your recruiting terminology in Encore, the information transfer is a snap.
What You Really See
• Add to your web site in minutes
• Ask information not found on résumé
• Keep out the candidates you don't want
• Keep your clients in the loop
• Easily transfer data into Encore

Searchlight is integrated directly into our desktop client using a technology called XML. No separate program to run or install. No browser window to keep open. In fact, if you are already familiar with using Encore's reports, it looks just like another one.

What You Don't See
All Searchlight collected data is stored in your private database on our secured server so that it will not "pollute" your main Encore data. You select when and which Searchlight candidate records to promote into Encore.

What Your Client Sees
Searchlight 360 gives your clients on-demand online access to information relevant to their searches. You control the type and amount of data to make available for each search. Your clients can review search status, browse candidate résumés and provide direct feedback—all via a secure link posted on your web site.

From candidate to recruiter to client, Searchlight delivers 360-degree coverage of your executive search demands.
