The Process:

We need a minimum of 6 weeks in order to effectively recruit for new clients.
Stage 1:
- Email existing assessors informing them of a new location.
- This will target assessors in nearby locations and include a referral fee.
- A post on socials and on the Assessor News Feed.
- This will advertise visits coming soon in the new location and include the same referral fee.
Stage 2 - 1 week after referral fees have been emailed:
- Locate free ad opportunities in local area.
- Blogs/Expat sites/Free community boards etc.
- Contact local businesses.
- Office buildings/shops that may display a poster or send an email to employees on our behalf.
- Contact local University SUs (dependent on client customer base).
Stage 3 - 2 weeks before start date/when visits are added to the system:
- Monthly Marketing email.
- In the monthly email, advertise the new client/visits
- Sent to all assessors.
- If needed - SE to specific locations.
- Same as above but for local areas, depending on where the monthly email would fall in the timeline
- Trainee’s email.
- A ‘Welcome to HGEM’ email for Trainees in the area.
- This will advertise the new client but also remind them to complete the trainee quiz.
- Refresh Socials
- With visits on the system, a new post on socials/Assessor News Feed welcoming the new client.
Stage 4 - if we are still struggling after the start date:
- Identify paid ads/local newsletters/bloggers/expat sites - anyone that can offer an affordable ad.
- Target specific locations via Facebook posts/location specific system emails etc.
Tracking:
- Initial numbers.
- At end of each Stage 1-3.
- Number of applications received.
- Number of assessors in location.
- Number of assessors in postcode (where applicable).
- If Stage 4 required.
- Monthly figures.
