# A Sales Applicant Generation Methodology Built Around Agreed Criteria.

Diagnose → Position → Acquire → Convert → Qualify → Optimize

## Six-Stage Framework

1. **Diagnose:** Review the role, compensation, geography, requirements, timing, application process, and budget.
2. **Position:** Clarify the job title, candidate value proposition, requirements, and reasons to respond.
3. **Acquire:** Use approved channels to generate relevant candidate reach and response.
4. **Convert:** Reduce application friction and make the job and next step clear.
5. **Qualify:** Apply the agreed validation or CQA criteria.
6. **Optimize:** Review applicant flow, quality, cost, delivery pace, and campaign friction.

## Methodology FAQ

### Why do you define the candidate before launching the campaign?

A written candidate profile reduces ambiguity, separates true requirements from preferences, and creates an objective standard for managed CQA delivery.

### What factors determine campaign feasibility?

PowerSalesJobs reviews factors such as role type, compensation, geography, candidate requirements, work arrangement, applicant goal, hiring timeline, application process, competition, candidate availability, and budget.

### What is the Agreed Candidate Profile?

It is the written set of objective required criteria used to define whether an applicant meets the campaign standard, together with separate preferred qualifications that may help the employer prioritize interviews.

### How are applicants generated?

Campaigns may use approved job-search, recruiting, advertising, niche, referral, social, search, and employer-owned channels appropriate to the role. Specific channels vary by campaign.

### How do you measure campaign performance?

Useful measures can include applicant volume, cost per applicant, qualification rate, source, application completion, delivery pace, and other campaign-specific measures agreed before launch.

### Does the methodology guarantee a hire?

No. The methodology is designed to improve clarity, eligibility, applicant acquisition, and campaign decision-making. It does not guarantee search visibility, applicants, interviews, offers, hires, performance, or retention.
