How To Track The Emails You Send To Recruiters by bodeoni: 7:25pm On Jan 06, 2016 |
It’s a new year and most job seekers will want to intensify their job search efforts especially as we are in a time of mass retrenchment due to the current economic downturn. It’s mostly going to be a game of survival of the fittest the first few months of this year as it relates to job search. One thing I have discovered about most job seekers is that they don’t know how to appraise themselves or monitor their progress. Most jobseekers keep applying for jobs without keeping track of the progress they have made and as such often get frustrated. I am going to show you one way you can be more productive in your job search I am sure you know that the first step in getting a job is getting noticed. You might have the most desirable skill set in the world but it won’t mean anything if no one notices. As a job seeker, the best way to put yourself out there is by sending out your CV to prospective employers via email or job portals (Applicant Tracking Systems). You might have sent in several mails last year and not get a single feedback. I want to put it to you that one of the reasons for this is because the recruiter didn’t even look at the mail at all. The question(s) now is (are), is there a way you can be sure you getting the attention of the recruiter? There is a way to track the mails you send to a recruiter, you can even check the number of times the mail was opened and from where. Discovered this wonderful application mid last year. It’s called Sidekick by Hubspot. Sidekick by HubSpot is actually a CRM software that allows sales persons track their campaigns. This works for the job seeker too since he/she is also selling his abilities and should track his/her campaigns. The software shows you who opens your emails with instant notifications, it even tells you where they opened it from. Sidekick is a Chrome extension and works with Gmail, Outlook for Windows and Outlook.com. The downside of this is that it doesn’t seem to work with Yahoo. It is available as a web app, a chrome add-on and as an android application. Its free to use but with the limitation of 200 mails a month. There are other email tracking applications out there that might work for yahoo, but if you are a Gmail or Outlook user, I suggest you add this to your 2016 job search tactics.

You should configure it on a web browser first. Get the add-on for chrome broswer, Link your gmail with your side kick account. I haven't really tried out their app yet. gideonjeta: |

Lol, its not stalking. Stalking would be going to your prospective employer's house or kid's school. DonUjay: 1 Like |

I doubt that the app is available on blackberry. You should get it as a addon for chrome browser on your Computer instead. ambassadorgozie: |

Re: How To Track The Emails You Send To Recruiters by dominique(f): 8:11am On Jan 07, 2016 |
I can't find it on playstore. Is it automatically available if you open your mails via Google chrome or you have to install it first? |
Re: How To Track The Emails You Send To Recruiters by blessedtwins: 8:21am On Jan 07, 2016 |
Very useful info |
Re: How To Track The Emails You Send To Recruiters by bodeoni: 9:01am On Jan 07, 2016 |
dominique:It's on playstore. Search for sidekick. It's most likely going to be the first result on the list. You have to install the add on to chrome. You can get that from the chrome appstore. Once that is done, you can start to track your mails but not before you open an account with them. You get the read notifications immediately as long as you are online on your PC, whether or not the browser is running. 1 Like |
