Making Sense of Sense Introduction & Phase 1 August, 2017
Sense ~ What is it? Sense is an engagement platform designed especially for the staffing/recruiting industry. Sense allows us to send automated emails, surveys (and eventually texts) to our consultants to help you stay connected to them throughout the engagement and relationship.
Sense ~ Why? Redeploying consultants is more cost-effective than always bringing in new people Our goal is to engage our existing consultants more regularly and improve our (your) redeployment numbers.

Net Promoter Score What is NPS? NPS is an index that measures the willingness of customers to recommend a company’s products or services to others. It is used to gauge the customer’s overall satisfaction with our service and the customer’s loyalty to the Vaco brand.
How likely are you to recommend Vaco to a friend or colleague? On a scale of 1-10… How likely are you to recommend Vaco to a friend or colleague? 9-10 = Promoter. This person is a happy, loyal Vaco customer. Yay! 7-8 = Passive. Satisfied, but somewhat indifferent. Could be swayed to work with someone else. 0-6 = Detractor. Unhappy customer who can hurt our brand through negative word-of-mouth.
Survey Follow-Up Questions If answer is 9 or higher: Do you have any referrals? If so, please enter them here and a recruiter will reach out to connect if there’s a good fit. If answer is 8 or lower: Thank you for your feedback. What was the main reason behind your answer, and what can we do to improve?
Identify the Candidate Manager on the Placement All survey responses are emailed to Candidate Manager for Sense All bouncebacks are sent to Candidate Manager for Sense Candidate Manager for Sense Emails is a required field on the Placement. When one is placed – on any type of assignment (contract, CTH, direct, etc.), the person approving the placement must assign a Candidate Manager for the purposes of all future Sense communication.
Candidate Manager for Sense Field The Candidate Manager field was created specifically for Sense communications. When a candidate receives a message via Sense, it will appear to be from the person in the Candidate Manager for Sense field (not the Candidate Owner and not the Vaco Rep). This field is managed on the Placement record – not on the Candidate record.

Sense is Not Optional It’s just good sense The three Workflows in Phase 1 are not optional. Future Phases may include optional workflows. By default, all candidates are opted in to all. To opt your candidates out of optional workflows, follow these easy steps: Candidate Record Edit tab Sense Optional Workflows? Change to No Click Save Remember: You cannot opt a candidate out of required workflows; only optional ones. Opting out of optional workflows is only recommend for Producers who are fiercely on top of their staying-in-touch game. There is no Opt Out from the Consultant’s point of view. Because these are not considered “mass emails”.
