Bravo has a popular television show called The Millionaire Matchmaker. It's essentially an exercise in matching rich guys with ladies who want to be with rich guys. If it sounds a little bit like recruiting, then you're on the right track. Kenny Mendes, recruiter at Box.com outlines how his team took a popular TV show and turned it into a successful recruiting event. For more, visit http://blog.jobscore.com.

2. Box has a long history with reality TV….

5. Meet Allie

6. (Real Allie)

7. Goal: Hire 200 sales reps*
Team: Allie + Sourcer + Coordinator
Constraint: Our sales people still had to
hit quota!
*Must be epic, world-class sales reps

8. This brings us back to reality TV and Box

9. Both start with pre-screened candidates…
We use LinkedIn… Patti uses headshots

10. …And invite them to a social gathering
We call ours, “Drink n Sync”…Patti calls hers
mixers

11. Then, we bring our top picks back for a more intimate meeting
Ours is called an OOBIE…hers is called a “mini-date”

12. Thankfully, the recruiting team knows how to close better than
Dylan ;)

13. JUST KIDDING!

14. Thanks!!!
