  1. Strategic Job Positioning: Leveraging our industry knowledge, we assess the job title, create compelling job “selling points,” and develop a strategy to fill the role using multiple job boards and platforms. This ensures your job stands out, attracting the best talent in the market.
  1. AI-Supported Job Ad Writing: Our innovative approach includes AI-supported job ad writing, incorporating strategic keywords for SEO optimization, expanding the reach of your job openings to a broader audience.

Tech Stack

At Ascend Career Services, we leverage a robust recruitment technology stack to elevate your hiring process and connect you with top-tier talent. Our tech stack is carefully curated to ensure a seamless and effective recruitment journey, comparable to selecting the finest materials for constructing a building.

  1. Ascend Career Services Website and Jobs Board: Our journey begins with our dedicated website and jobs board. We believe in the power of engaging content, and we regularly post industry-specific podcasts and blogs to captivate the attention of the candidates you desire.
  2. Applicant Tracking System (ATS): At the core of our tech stack lies our sophisticated ATS, a comprehensive database of candidates. This tool not only streamlines the recruitment process but also automatically posts your job openings to major national job boards, ensuring maximum visibility.
  3. AI for Ad Writing Assistance: Crafting compelling ads is an art, and our A1 tool excels in this domain. Starting with detailed candidate profiles, we tailor ads that resonate with specific qualities, attracting the right individuals to your organization.
