A Cooperative in the Midwest had the need to fill an opening for a Key Account role, but candidate responses to their recruiting messages were just not qualified. Most of the candidates that replied to the posting were focused more on sales versus the relationship management and building that we needed. Bessire helped to refine the recruiting message and expanded the search to areas beyond their market to generate a much more robust, qualified pool of candidates. Their recruiting message was optimized and carefully crafted and best of all, it worked! The Cooperative was happy with how Bessire helped with the Key Account role and have enlisted our expertise to also help in their need for lineman as well.
Success Stories
Recruiting message was optimized and carefully crafted and best of all, it worked!
Bessire also helped to write and optimize the recruiting message to get the results desired
A Southeastern Cooperative needed a Mapping Technician and had not had a lot of success finding candidates themselves; therefore, Bessire felt it was necessary to try and reach out to candidates by going beyond their normal routine of posting to the NRECA website. Bessire helped to strategize on what job boards to use and which markets to post in to recruit talent beyond their limited rural background. At the end of 30 days, the Cooperative had narrowed their pool to 19 candidates that were possibilities to consider in their recruiting process.
“Bessire was extremely supportive in our recent recruiting for two newly created key roles”
Bessire was extremely supportive in our recent recruiting for two newly created key roles – Manager of IT and Communication/PR Coordinator. They consulted with our team about each position and discussed where we could find candidates beyond our current limited resources. They then created a strategy to find not only active but also passive talent through database searches using LinkedIn and other job boards. After four weeks, we received an electronic copy of all top candidate information prioritized according to our hiring criteria. They are Subject Matter Experts in recruiting and advertising, and we will certainly consider using Bessire again. We highly recommend Bessire as a talent recruiting team.

“This advertising strategy created a candidate pool that enabled us to interview qualified candidates to meet our hiring need”
Osmose Utilities Services provides engineering services for electric and communication utilities, and we needed to fill a number of Technician positions in the Peachtree City, GA area. Because of the number of Technicians needed, we knew that we would need to reach candidates in markets beyond the greater Atlanta area. Bessire created an advertising strategy using multiple job boards and posted to areas that had universities with Engineering programs throughout the Southeast. This advertising strategy created a candidate pool that enabled us to interview qualified candidates to meet our hiring need. I would highly recommend Bessire to help with your recruitment advertising.

“We have used Bessire for almost 10 years..”
At EGD we have used Bessire services for almost 10 years to recruit Installers, Service Techs, Outside Sales Reps and recently a Compliance Director.
Jason finds the candidates and scores them. We normally only look at his “A” candidates. While he will handle the admin of setting up interviews, the client is responsible for the final selection.
Most standard searches are approximately $10,000 and he is particularly effective when he learns your business as he has done with us.

This is where Bessire steps in, the goal being simple: save the TA team time while achieving the greatest return on investment. Bessire is Movement’s Agency of Record used in acquiring a variety of recruiting tools, and they have consistently helped negotiate better deals for the advertising budget than could have ever been completed on our own! They present clear options and analysis, and Movement makes the final decision. Win-win all around!
During the entire process, Bessire establishes and maintains contact with social media representatives. They mediate meetings regarding service level agreements and they hold the media companies accountable for the advertising purchased. They also reconcile all invoices and provide us with one single point of billing – creating a seamless process from start to finish!
We are thankful for the business partnership Movement has found with Bessire, and would recommend their services to any company looking to take their recruiting platforms to the next level. Party on!
“…We hired 2… got over 200 responses…Great job!…” Rob said.
Thanks so much to Bessire for finding us so much talent. Out of the resumes Bessire was able to find, we had plenty of candidates to choose from! Definitely will recommend Bessire in the future!
“…We received 133 resumes in just over two weeks – over 80% of which were relevant to the job posting. We identified 5 candidates with strong potential and ultimately hired one of these candidates…”
Bessire & Associates helped us place an ad on CareerBuilder.com and ultimately fill our opening for an Assistant Plant Engineer. They walked us through several strategic options and helped us craft the ad itself. We received 133 resumes in just over two weeks – over 80% of which were relevant to the job posting. We identified 5 candidates with strong potential and ultimately hired one of these candidates.
Like you, we don’t use search firms or head hunters. What I like about Bessire & Associates is that’s not what they do. They don’t generate revenue from the hire. They generate revenue by helping employers with the recruitment process. Their role can target specific parts of the recruitment process (placing an ad, background checks, etc.) or they can develop complete plans.
I’ve known Jason for over 10 years and I highly recommend him and his company. Sharon answered all of my questions throughout the process and her experience was very helpful to me. I know you’ve developed very successful hiring strategies at Pharr Yarns. I’m just passing along this recommendation because of the great experience we had with Bessire & Associates.
