What does Novotus do?

Novotus uses innovative recruiting methods, modern technology and experienced professional recruiters to help companies find and retain great talent. Using enterprise-class software, Novotus also supports candidates considering opportunities with Novotus clients.


How does Novotus deliver such an exceptional product for such a low cost?

Industry leading technology and streamlined workflow processes are important in improving productivity and controlling costs. However, the most critical element is partnering closely with our clients in understanding their needs and requirements and mapping the recruiting efforts to match those needs. This partnering decreases the amount of time required to fill open requisitions and ultimately the cost to provide these services. As a result, many of Novotus' clients use Novotus exclusively to support their recruiting needs. 


How are Novotus products and services sold?

After meeting with clients and helping them assess their needs, Novotus allows employers to determine the size and scope of their involvement. Recruiting solutions are customized to the company's needs. Services range from full complete recruiting outsource solutions to single searches. Read more about Novotus services here.


How is Novotus different than staffing agencies?

Staffing agencies typically are the last resort, called in when a company has exhausted every other available avenue. Many times, multiple staffing agencies compete to fill the same position with a client, creating confusion for candidates and forcing the agencies to charge a premium for their services. For the candidate, the ultimate client who is looking to hire is often unknown until deep into the interview process. This makes it difficult for good candidates to judge the opportunity or know their level of interest.Unlike traditional staffing agencies, Novotus typically begins work before a requisition is even open and partners directly with the hiring manager to understand the scope of the position and the specific skills and experience required. Every requisition uses the same recruiting workflow, from research and candidate sourcing through screening and interviewing. Using our large internal database, along with all other traditional recruiting avenues, we provide clients with a total talent awareness around each open position. Candidates benefit from a full and complete disclosure of the client and position specifics, from the very first conversation. This cuts out the guesswork and potential surprises.


How is Novotus different than a regular recruitment process outsourcing firm?

Often, traditional recruiting outsourcing follows a cookie-cutter approach built around volume hiring for entry-level positions: employment processing rather than recruitment processing. At Novotus, we customize our offerings to meet your company's needs. Novotus outsources the entire recruiting department only at a company's request. We won't jockey for control; rather, we will lay out the many options for the hiring manager. Whether an employer needs us to find 1,000 employees or just one, we are happy to assume that responsibility. Our process, along with our teams of experienced recruiters, provide the same high level of success across industries and at all levels within the organization, from entry level to complex positions or C-level executives.


How is Novotus different than the job boards?

Our cutting-edge technology, researchers and best-in-class recruiters will proactively seek and select only the best candidates for the position(s). Unlike impersonal job boards, we build relationships with our candidates and take the burden of sifting through resumes off our clients' shoulders. With the competition for talent increasing, Novotus' tactical recruiting and technologies are critical in identifying and activating passive candidates.


Will I actually be dealing with Novotus staff members?
Yes! Yes! Yes! At Novotus, relationships mean everything. As a client, when you express interest in working with us, members of the executive team contact you personally to get to know more about your company and learn your recruiting needs. Our recruiters will research the positions for which you are hiring so as to best educate interested candidates. Every step of the way, from that initial point of contact through the end of the hiring process, Novotus is your partner. Each client is assigned to a tenured director who serves on the Novotus management team. Those directors manage teams of people and dozens of touch points as positions move through the recruiting process.  


Will Novotus recommend my job(s) to its candidates?

At Novotus, we understand that referrals are an invaluable way to find talent. Our internal tracking system alerts candidates via email when jobs match their search criteria. Those who are interested will apply for the job, and, if they qualify, a recruiter will conduct phone interviews. Based on your preference, either you or a Novotus recruiter will conduct subsequent interviews.


Can Novotus put a section on my website for career listings?

One of the great things about Novotus is that our sister company, ReachingTalent, has the tools and expertise to seamlessly integrate your company's postings into your current website. Interested candidates will view the posting on your site but link to ours when submitting their resumes and applications.


Can Novotus do anything else on my website?

Sure! ReachingTalent provides a host of additional services, including career portal development and management, employment brand building, and video production to produce and embed videos into your site. All of these services are designed to change your website from a passive information storage location to a world-class interactive recruiting tool. It helps add that personal touch to your company, which makes candidates feel more comfortable, and increases the development of a talent community.


What happens to the information I provide, like my resume and field information?
