How to get job change alerts for the candidates you placed

When someone you placed changes job, their old seat is empty and their new company is a friend inside. Loop Channels in Recruitly tell you the day it happens. This video shows how to turn job change alerts on for a channel and what to do when Simi finds a move.

Turn on job changes

1. Open your channel, for example Candidates we placed, and press Channel actions beside the message box.
2. Choose Signals. The Signals panel opens on the right.
3. Turn on Job changes. Simi checks each person's LinkedIn and tells you in the channel when someone moves.
4. Pick how often: monthly, weekly or daily. Each option shows what it costs a month for the people in the channel before anything starts.
5. Press Start checking monthly (or weekly, or daily). The panel then shows it is on, with the frequency and the cost a month.

When someone moves

Simi posts a card in the channel: who moved, where they were, where they are now, and where you placed them. Under it are three moves, and nothing happens until someone on your team presses one.

• Add Action puts a call to the client about the empty seat on the team's Actions.
• Add lead makes the new company a lead, with the person you placed as your contact.
• See draft opens a short well-done note Simi wrote from you.

How much do job change alerts cost?

The alerts themselves are free. Each check is one Live LinkedIn Profile lookup at half a cent, it counts toward your monthly cap, and only people with a LinkedIn profile on their record are checked. For 240 people, checking monthly is about $1.20 a month. See pricing.

What happens when the monthly cap is reached?

The checks pause and Simi says so in the channel once that month, with a link to raise the cap.
