-: My name is Josh Jones and I am the
National Talent Acquisition Manager
for a company called PFL
and our company is a marketing technology company
that actually plugs into sales force
and then some of the marketing automation platforms,
such as Marketo, Eloqua, Sales Force Marketing Cloud.
It enables marketers to send things physically
in what's now today, is a very digital marketing world.
So my job is to make sure that we're hiring
good, smart, talented people,
that can continue to drive our business forward.
So I go out into different areas,
college campuses as well as just the technology community
and actively reach out to people
that look like would be good potential fits
as well as filter through everybody that
applies to our company, both in Montana and Indianapolis.
So we kinda know what our priorities are for
that next quarter in terms of what we need
to go out and find.
From there, we take the different jobs
and we get them posted on our company websites,
on the different job boards out there,
so Indeed's a big one we utilize,
TechPoint in Indianapolis has been really good for us
and then once we post those jobs,
we tend to get a really good flow
of applications coming in,
so our team kinda divides and conquers.
We each are working on specific roles,
just depending on where the business needs are.
But then, we get them posted,
we start filtering through the applicants
that are coming in, simultaneously,
when we have time, we're doing some more passive,
where we just reach out to folks that
we may know from our networks, or from referrals
so that's kinda where it all gets going
and how we typically find the folks
that we're gonna be hiring.
So yeah, once it's filled,
I especially with our team,
we try to stay in constant communication
until they start and even after they start.
We had nine people start for our company
in Montana last week.
It's one of the reasons I was out there,
so over the next few weeks our team will be
continuing to reach out to the people that we hired
and making sure that they're having
a good onboarding experience
but a lot of times there is a bit of a handoff
to their direct manager, who leads their onboarding
through getting them up to speed in their roles.
