Screening Platform for Networking Recruiters!
I can't think of a better marketing tool in the Human Resources realm. It's not cheap, but it works. As this method of promotion takes hold in the marketplace, the question won't be whether you can afford to do it, but whether you can afford not to.
– Ron Garant, Owner/Publisher MI Media
Finding More
Quality Candidates
To Hire Isn’t Getting Any Easier Is It?
You’ve probably used key words
as a basis for selecting candidates…
…or waded through hundreds of
resumes and cover letters
looking for candidates who
might be a “great fit”…
…or tried to build your candidate database
by phone screening and interviewing
more candidates.
…all with frustrating results – (there’s only 24 hours in a day…)
But There’s Good News!
My name is Mel Brown
and I know exactly how you feel, because
I was one of those
B A D @ $ $ C A N D I D A T E S
you were looking for!
There were too many unqualified
applicants between us
clogging up the works and
making it impossible for us to connect…
But that’s in the past now. These days
I’ve managed to achieve quite a bit of success
because I’ve learned from my experience
of being on both sides of this coin:
I’m able to interview up to 45 GREAT candidates per day
by myself and compete with agencies
with far more resources…
I’m able to connect, screen, and
confidently submit more qualified
candidates after lowering my cost
by more than half.
I’m also very lucky that
I avoid wasting time and money
re-screening my previous rejects.
But let’s keep it real…
We Both Know Things Didn’t Start Out This Way…
Before I ever achieved any success at all,
there were a lot of roadblocks.
I recognized them because
they were the same obstacles
that made me feel like quitting
when I was a candidate:
1. No Callbacks Or Interviews
Companies didn’t even have the courtesy to let me know if I was being considered or if I should move on. I understand now that great recruiters are often blamed for this, but it’s really not their fault…
2. Terrible Interviews
I didn’t know most interviewers (85-90%) were not formally trained on how to conduct proper interviews. When I was lucky enough to get an interview, they asked a bunch of irrelevant questions that didn’t highlight my talent. Another situation where awesome recruiters are erroneously blamed.
3. Getting Ghosted
Some recruiters would lead me to believe that I had a great chance of getting the job and then abruptly stopped communicating. Great recruiters don’t do this, but often take the blame for poor recruiters who do.
Of course, you know exactly what I’m talking about, right?
Great recruiters
have a bad reputation because
mediocre recruiters
waste candidates’ time,
avoid candidates’ calls, ignore candidates’ emails,
and act like bullies.
You’ve developed a thick skin from
dealing with unqualified candidates
who used every trick in the book
to get past the
applicant tracking system.
If up to 75% of my candidate pool was
unqualified, I’d be a bit short-tempered too!
You’ve seen resumes
formatted in a million different styles but
learned the hard way they were likely
written by professional writers and
NOT the candidates…
You’re posting your
jobs and getting inundated with
unqualified applicants.
To make things worse,
you have to use Google and sift through a
bunch of irrelevant social media posts
just to piece together some idea of what
you’d really be getting in a candidate…
All of which results in
no increase in
Rock Star Candidates!
It looks like the good recruiters are bitter,
candidates are mad,
and screening isn’t getting any better,
even though you’re working harder than ever, and
still missing out on great candidates
L I K E M E !
The term “Black Hole” comes to mind.
Sound familiar?
Well, right or wrong
I used to blame you for that…
I could only try to get your attention
for so long before
I felt like giving up.
Just Before I Gave Up,
I Got A Simple Idea
That Changed Everything.
Since no one was making the effort
to interview me, I decided to
record my own video interview
and submit it with my resume.
I’d studied some HR in college
so I knew what questions to include
and how to format everything
the way recruiters like.
I figured that even if recruiters like you
ultimately said “No”
they might still take a look
at me because it
wouldn’t require any effort or
cost anything.
I had nothing to lose
so I decided to go for it.
It was an enormous amount of work.
but I finished.
My idea was different, but I didn’t care
what anyone thought
because I chose to
believe in myself
and accept that
my skills were valid.
I called my resume, self-service interview and
supporting content a “Profile“.
When I handed it to someone, I’d say
“Here’s everything you need to know
to make a decision
about hiring me…
Yes, I got some strange looks.
But I knew that anyone
looking at my Profile was
going to be blown away by
my talent, skill and my presentation.
Guess What?
It Worked.
The results speak for themselves:
As soon as I started doing this,
everything instantly got easier.
I Started Getting Callbacks
The phone started ringing. The good recruiters were asking excellent follow-up questions based on my content, and inquiring about possible start dates. The lazy recruiters were asking questions I’d already answered and still getting my last name wrong.
(By the way, how do you screw up “Brown”?)
There Were Better Positions
Good recruiters asked about my interest in different fields
and other “unadvertised” positions.
Many were better than the job I was applying for.
Rude recruiters asked I could “hold off” on interviews with others. Good thing I didn’t “hold-off” because they ghosted me anyway…
The Referrals Started
I started getting calls from fanatastic recruiters for excellent jobs at companies I hadn’t applied to. They’d say that I was “referred by someone” at a different company.
Some crappy recruiters had a different referral in mind “Can you please put me in touch with whoever made this for you…”
Let that sink in…
True Story: A Lifetime Opportunity
I got real proof of my Profile concept
came when I was laid off
from my job at a bank.
I was moonlighting as a musician
and decided to see if my
Profile worked in
the music industry.
A late-night talk show host named Arsenio Hall
was having a contest
that required a video submission,
so sent him my Profile and
asked him for job instead.
He hired me 19 days later.
And told the story to
20 million viewers.
I continued in music and I’ve
used my Profile to land jobs
with jobs with some of the biggest names
on the planet, recording on
50 Top 10 Billboard Singles and
winning 2 Grammy Awards.
Bottom Line:
Regardless of the industry,
My Profile got me in the door with great recruiters.
My talent and hard work kept me there.
Great recruiters understood the
value of my Profile and
took full advantage of
vetting me at lightning speed.
Lousy recruiters ignored the Profile,
asked questions I’d already answered, and
proved why I wouldn’t want to
work with them anyway.
That’s When I Knew
I’d Created Something Really Special.
After achieving this success,
I wanted to share my solution with
exceptional candidates and recruiters.
Since then, I’ve helped
countless others in many industries
who are still dealing with the same
never-ending crap in their job search,
and anonymously posting their complaints
on social media or blogs
to avoid retaliation from bad recruiters.
I’ve always thought complaining was useless.
So I decided to stop being a part of the problem and
FIND A SOLUTION!
I launched a company online called
Connexion Pointe®
with the single goal of making
the screening process better for
excellent candidates and the
outstanding recruiters
looking for them.
It’s my pleasure to introduce
Pointe Savant®
The Self-Service Video Interviewing Suite and
Candidate Screening Platform
That Will Help You Screen a Lot More Great Candidates,
Fill More Positions Faster, And
Save You a Lot of Time and Money.
So what exactly is Pointe Savant®?
Pointe Savant® is an excellent
screening tool for viewing a candidate’s resume,
evaluating their video interview, and
additional video content and making
screening decisions
solo or with a team.
Can this tool really turn everything around?
How does it work?
Yes.
Yes it can.
For screening,
Pointe Savant® is
Full Contact at First Contact!
First, candidates create a
job-related video interview in our Pointe Profile® app.
Then they use other tools to
create additional video content,
and create a gorgeous PDF resume
using our beautiful resume template.
Pointe Profile® creates a single link to
share everything with recruiters.
Recruiters source these candidates
on our exclusive Connexion Pointe® ProNetwork site.
Recruiters click the link to view the content in our
Pointe Savant® app.
If the candidate’s resume impresses,
their job-related video interview is already right there.
NO calling,
NO scheduling, and
NO waiting.
If you want to know more,
the candidate’s additional video content
is already waiting right there!
Then, if you have follow-up questions,
you can send them to the candidate immediately with
our built-in messaging system
called AskMe™.
By this time, any
excellent recruiter
should know if a candidate is
a good fit or not
based on their merits.
Bottom Line:
(This is where it gets really good.)
You just found out everything
you needed to know to
make a decision in
less than an hour
and
from a safe distance
instead of days or weeks.
The BEST part:
Unqualified or lazy candidates are simply not going
to work this hard to get your attention.
Excellent candidates are known as such
because we’re capable of doing MORE.
I designed my original Profile to SHOW you
why I’d be a good fit for your team,
PROVE it at my own expense, and
make it EASY for you to watch.
My ideas are not far-fetched.
In fact, they’re rooted in rock-solid logic
that aligns with some of the most
well-known experts in the world:
HR expert Lou Adler recommends candidates’ linking to video supporting their fit for a position:
Prove you're a contender...include a link to a video or website that further validates your abilities..."
– Lou Adler, The Adler Group
Here’s How Pointe Savant® Features
Will Benefit You:
1. Skip the First Round of Interviews
With Pointe Savant® every connexion occurs with the first interview already done. Every Connexion Pointe interview begins with the same 2 questions:
Tell me a little bit about yourself...
– Every Interviewer at every interview…
Tell me about your responsibilities on your current or previous job...
– Every Interviewer on the planet…
The candidate has 2 minutes to answer each question. When viewed by a recruiter, these 2 questions serve as an introduction to each candidate. They’ve literally got 4 minutes to sell you on why they’re great for the job. If you like what you see, you can view their responses to 6 more questions. If they don’t make the cut, you can enter your notes and quickly move on.
Value: $960
2. Fast & Easy Evaluations
In Pointe Savant® Your first interaction with candidate data is in the Candidate Evaluation Window, which houses all of the information for you and your team to view, evaluate and comment. Just click on 1 of the 4 easy to access tabs:
Tab 1: Resume
The first tab has the candidate’s contact information, photo, and a link to view their resume in PDF format.The resume opens in a tab or window, where it can be saved, shared with staff or printed. Recruiters who prefer starting with the resume start here.
Tab 2: Video Playlists
If the resume sparks interest, the next tab conveniently displays the interview and optional video content prepared by the candidate. Staff can rate responses to interview questions by clicking one or more of the stars next to each question.
Tab 3: Notes & Comments
The third tab is where notes, comments, and a recommendation can be entered to advance, reject or save the candidate for later. Team members can not see the comments entered by other members, and a Lead Team Member can be designated.
Tab 4: Pointe AskMe™
If your team has follow-up questions, the Pointe AskMe™ tab is the answer! Just enter your question, choose a deadline for the candidate response and click send. You’ll get a notification when the candidate responds in the same window!
Value: $5000
3. Video Playlists
It may be obvious why an interview is valuable, but we added three additional video playlists! Experts like Alison Doyle also recommend maintaining an inventory of accomplishments:
"Create an inventory of your accomplishments, including your educational background and work history, to keep at hand should a chance encounter become a contact."
– Allison Doyle, The Balance Careers
Pointe Profile® offers the perfect solution for creating such an inventory! First, candidates choose a few really important questions they wish recruiters would ask. Then they go the extra mile using their favorite presentation software to illustrate their answers in 2 minutes or less! These playlists are organized into three categories: Experience, References, and Insight. Great Recruiters reap the benefit of this valuable information:
Experience Playlist
Formulate your unique answer to a question like “Can you describe your most significant career accomplishment?” Use your favorite presentation software to combine photos, slides and any other appropriate media to create a short video illustrating your response! Upload to the video to the experience playlist to make it available to targeted recruiters. I’ll even show you how!
References Playlist
If you’ve done some excellent work for some folks on your network, they may be willing to go “on the record” and talk about it. Pointe Profile® is an excellent tool for aggregating and sharing testimonials from trusted contacts on your network. There are 3 easy ways to do these and I’ll show how!
Insight Playlist
Many people have skills, experience, or talent that perhaps wasn’t used directly for the job title they are looking for, but relates to it. You can present that information to recruiters using video and the Pointe Profile® “Insights” tab. It’s a LOT EASIER than you think and I’ll show you how!
Value: $5000
4. Pointe AskMe™
AskMe™ is our response to slow and inefficient follow-up screening. Pointe AskMe™ is a text-based communication system built-in to all of our applications. It enables quick, easy and inexpensive follow-up communication between recruiters and candidates. Recruiters type their questions or comments, select a response date and click send. An alert appears in the candidate’s Pointe Profile® account, where the candidate can immediately respond within the allotted time.
Value: Priceless
5. Screening Event Builder™
Our interview builders offers the ability to quickly create high-quality, job-related screening interviews that meet or exceed the best practices of many recruiters. Just follow the on-screen instructions and Screening Event Builder™ will guide you through creating creating a fantastic screening interview. With Pointe Savant® creating a relevant, structured behavioral interview (or a custom interview entirely from scratch) is easy.
Value: $197
6. Control the Size of Your Candidate Pool
If the goal is to get better hires in a cost-effective manner, it’s more important to scare away candidates who don’t fit than to jam more candidates into the recruiting funnel.
– Peter Capelli, Harvard Business Review
You don’t have to be a Data Scientist to notice traditional screening channels are bogged down. One reason for this is that it’s too easy for unqualified candidates to click all day applying online. In addition to raising the bar for candidates just to be seen, Pointe Savant® has 3 powerful tools to keep frivolous and unqualified candidates at bay:
1. Purge Rejected Candidates
The Purge Rejected Candidate button identifies any candidate previously rejected by your staff, These candidates can be reviewed and reclassified at any time.
2. Accept Profile Settings
This simple setting gives you the ability of controlling the scope of acceptable interviews by job title, related fields, or if the interview was created by a candidate.
3. Limited Submissions
Pointe Savant® monitors the candidate submissions and ensures any candidates are limited to one submission per job title within a 90 day period.
7. Better Communication
Great candidates despise getting ghosted. At Connexion Pointe®, letting candidates know where they stand is standard practice and creating notifications for your candidate pool is a part of creating the event. At the conclusion of your screening events, Pointe Savant® automatically delivers them to all of your candidates.
Value: $197
1. Candidate Advancing Message
This message is for candidates that have captured your interest and will be advancing to the next round of screening.
2. Candidate Save-For-Later Message
This message is for the candidates that aren’t advancing to the next round of interviews, but we’d like to keep them in mind for future positions.
2. Candidate Non-Acceptance Message
These are candidates that will probably not be considered for any position under any circumstances.
,8. Open Submissions Database
At Connexion Pointe, we understand recruiting cycles and candidate interest don’t always operate on the same timeline. That’s why we added an Open Submissions feature Pointe Savant®. If you receive a Pointe Profile® interview link between screening events, you can save the candidate’s data in the Open Submissions database. When you’re ready to start a new hiring again you can start sourcing candidates right here!

You Don’t Have to Take My Word for It…
I have
25 years
of documented proof that
my methods work.
Even though I was
just getting started as a Bassist,
my Profile device
was so strong that
music magazines
ran feature stories about it:
The next time someone tells you that Mel Brown is a top bassist, believe them. They’ve probably seen Brown’s unique enhanced-CD Profile.
Bassist Mel Brown has been causing quite a stir in the music industry lately. He has done more in the last three years than most musicians accomplish in a lifetime. As he puts it, “I am active in virtually every situation available to the modern bassist. Tours, club shows, movies, TV, both soundtrack and on camera acting, jingles, theme songs, corporate dates and endorsing.”
Arsenio Hall played a key role in breaking Mel’s career by inviting him on the show to play before a national television audience. He rose to the occasion by laying down a funky slap groove, completely winning over Arsenio and the audience. Mel took this exposure and made it count, landing a tour with music legend Gladys Knight, recordings with Brian McKnight, and cameo appearances in movies like Viva Rock Vegas and The Nutty Professor 2.
How did he do it, you ask? Well, while the rest of us have been sending out the typical demo discs, Mel has created what he calls his “Profile CD”. This invention is the most amazing self- promotion marketing tool of our time.
…and here are some recent
comments from real folks
about Connexion Pointe®:
The software also allows both parties (candidates and hiring entities) to do their prep work upfront before the interview process begins. So while it does take more planning and effort, the return on investment is so much greater to both parties as well…” On the candidate side, they are able to decide for themselves what type of interview they want to give and will get feedback only from interested parties. They don’t need to chase anyone down, wondering if they are interested or not, because they will only hear from companies that ARE interested.
My name is Kim Vehon, and I’m sharing my personal experience on putting together a profile in hopes of finding a new job. I was really grateful for the opportunity to give an employer the full package of experiencing who I am as a candidate so that they can make an educated decision about whether or not I was the right fit for the job.
My profile empowered me to be able to not just able to bring my resume to the table, but really being able to showcase my skill sets and allow them to see the many aspects of skill sets that I have. I think that’s the most powerful thing about Connexion Pointe. It is not assuring that you’re going to get a job. It ensures that you’re able to be confident in what you bring to the table and to be confident they’re able to connect with you as an individual and make an educated choice from there
If you are in a similar situation, I can tell you there are two things:
1 – I did get the job! Yes, I do feel like I give them a lot of information, but the beautiful thing was they were able to look at the things they wanted to look at and bypass everything else.
2 – Going forward, if I’m ever in the situation where I have to to look for a job or network again and allow someone to get to know me, my Pointe Profile® is a tangible resource that exists for them to connect very quickly to my work.
So I would really encourage you to give it a chance just like I did.
Connexion Pointe® is brilliant.
One of those ideas that seems obvious after hearing about it… but of course if that were the case someone else would have done it first.
I really want the company to succeed, and I think it fits in perfectly with modern technology/media.
Using the Connexion Pointe video-interview and online learning tools helped me create a “rock star” first impression online interview that is easily included with my resume to H.R. departments and recruiters. This gives me the extra advantage I need to approach any career or job application I desire with confidence that my resume will stand-out amongst the crowd.
