Monday Morning Memo: The Reason Why I Want You To ID The Job To Your Candidate In An Email

What Every Staffing and Recruiting Firm Should Know

Emails are a great tool in the modern life of businesses. It helps you get information out and receive information back. This is especially true when it comes to the staffing and recruiting business, where communication and information are assets that need to be utilized. But did you know that it can also help you catch a lying debtor?

Why You Should ID The Job to Your Candidate Through Email

You might be wondering how email can help you catch a lying debtor and give you the leverage you need to win a lawsuit if it ever comes to that point. The answer is simple. Emails help you document information between parties reliably. On today’s Monday Morning Memo, Wilson and Samantha explored exactly why you should ID the job to your candidate through email.

Legal Wording Isn’t Completely Necessary

According to Wilson, the legal wording isn’t really what he’s concerned about when it comes to emails being sent. He’s concerned about the psychology of it and how it can affect the outcome of you collecting your owed dues. Legal wording isn’t as important as the fact that you have documentation that you presented the job to the candidate.

It Works Like a Twelve Month Possessory Period

Another key use of emails is that it works similarly to a twelve month possessory period. This is because you lose containment of the candidate once you let them know who the hiring company is. This can make it more difficult for you to get your owed placement fees.

It’s More Reliable Than Phone Calls and Text Messages

Most staffing and recruiting agencies rely heavily on phone calls to contact their clients and candidates. However, there are problems with this when it comes to properly documenting conversations. One of these are laws in between states. For example, Georgia is a one party state where just one party needs to know that the call is being recorded. On the other hand, California is a two party state that requires all parties to be aware of the call being recorded. Emails bypasses this as it’s considered a written statement and can be more easily used when it comes to getting your owed fees.

It Sends Your Debtor’s Attorney Into Defense

The most important part of having an email that's related to the case, is that you have solid evidence. You can present this to your debtor’s attorney and they’ll suddenly realize that they’re being lied to by their client. This means that they can’t use anything that’s been fabricated to defend their client. This puts them on defense and it makes it easier for you to win a case, and pressure the debtor to pay you before it has to go to court.
