This job advertising proposal from Jarrod Kanizay of AcademicJobs.com for Southern Cross University (SCU).
Main Theme:
The central theme of this proposal is to persuade SCU to move from posting a single job advertisement for the "Director of Professional Experience" to purchasing AcademicJobs.com's Monthly Unlimited Job Pack for $999 (+GST). The core argument revolves around the significant cost savings, enhanced reach to top academic candidates, and additional promotional benefits offered by the unlimited package compared to the single job posting price of $315 (+GST).
Key Ideas and Facts:
- Cost Savings through Unlimited Package: The proposal highlights a substantial reduction in the cost per job if SCU opts for the unlimited package.
- "Cost per job is now just $99.90 rather than $315 That is $999 divided by the 10 jobs, not taking into consideration other jobs you may post in the next 30 days!"
- This emphasizes the potential for greater value if SCU has or anticipates having more than three job openings within the next month.
- Leveraging Existing Job Openings: The proposal proactively considers SCU's existing seven academic job advertisements.
- "we take into consideration your 9 other job openings" (referring to the one yet to be posted and the existing seven).
- Free A.I.CandidateConnect Upgrade: A significant incentive offered is the free upgrade to A.I.CandidateConnect for the seven currently advertised academic roles.
- "Your current 7 Academic Jobs advertised will receive our A.I.CandidateConnect (x100 top academic reach) upgrade for free – normally $200 per job, therefore saving $1,400."
- This technology is described as a tool that "identifies the top academics in the jobs’ field, and informs them about each job opportunity."
- It also includes a referral portal called AcademicConnect to enhance the credibility of job sharing within academic networks.
- Targeted Roles for A.I.CandidateConnect: Jarrod specifically identifies the following roles as being well-suited for the A.I.CandidateConnect technology
- Performance and Satisfaction Guarantee: To mitigate risk, AcademicJobs.com offers a strong guarantee.
- "I guarantee that we will fill at least one of these roles, and I guarantee that you will be 100% happy with our customer service and outcomes for SCU. With that, if we do not achieve either, then I will refund the $999 no questions asked."
- This aims to build trust and demonstrate confidence in their services.
- Long-Term Cost Savings Argument: The proposal positions AcademicJobs.com as a more effective and cost-efficient platform compared to "poorly performing platforms" in the long run.
- Enhanced Institutional Promotion: The unlimited package includes promotional activities for SCU as an employer.
- "we will promote USC as a Top Australian University to Work for on our home page… leading more people to your Institutional Profile and your job openings on AcademicJobs.com/Australia" (Note: The proposal mistakenly refers to "USC" which is likely a typo and should be "SCU").
- They also offer to "push SCU as an Employer of Choice, promoting it through key website pages and socials," with a link provided as an example of their capabilities ("Working at Brilliant SCU").
- Podcast Creation for Each Academic Job: A unique offering is the creation of a podcast for each academic job at SCU.
- "Each Academic Job at SCU will also get a podcast made about it so potential candidates can listen about the job on their commute to/from work
- This aims to provide a more engaging and informative way for candidates to learn about the roles.
- Administrative Ease for SCU: AcademicJobs.com offers to handle the administrative burden of posting the jobs.
- "if you do, then they will have your 10 jobs up by the end of today by copying them from you site… NO EXTRA ADMIN for you, NO EXTRA CHARGE for you. HOW GOOD IS THAT!"
- Call to Action and Contact Methods: The proposal provides multiple ways for Vivian to take up the unlimited offer.
