Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Who can use Stevie?

SMEs (who are often time-poor) hiring in marketing & comms, operations, or client services.

Talent in the above areas and a few extras are finding a home with us – marketing, design, P&C, tech, finance, sales & ops.

If unsure, simply reach out to ask. We will always be honest.

How does the shortlisting work?

Stevie is an empathy-led service, powered by tech. Our profiles are designed to match on the basics, that actually aren’t so basic – as salary, skills, way of working and location do matter.Ontop of this, there is plenty of fabulous information about the person for businesses to understand more about them. This is designed to give everyone a head start BEFORE they meet. We manage the introductions and the business and talent take it from there.

Does Stevie work with recruiters?

At this stage, sadly not. Stevie is designed to support businesses and talent directly, so we have tailored our platform to meet their needs. We embrace transparency, so the creation of profiles is by the people behind them.

How much does it cost?

For talent, Stevie’s always free.

For business, it is a flat fee of $350 to create a profile and job listing.

We have extra services if you need more help, so check out our pricing page for more info.

Whilst we love a surprise at the best of times, this won’t be the case for our business community as nothing is hidden.

Can I change my profile at any time?

Absolutely! As our profiles are live, we recommend everyone reviews and edits their profile from time to time. You may have decided on a new career direction or have completed a course you’d like to include. Keeping your profile up to date means Stevie is always in the know to best connect you.

This applies to businesses also!

What contact info is shared and when?

No contact information is ever shared until BOTH talent and the business agree to connect – then we share an email address only.

Talent Questions

Can I still apply for a job instead of waiting to be shortlisted?

YES! Talent does not need to wait to be shortlisted. If you see a job you love, simply select ‘apply’ and your profile will be presented to the business for review. You can be shortlisted and also apply, which shows you are engaged.

What if I am approached for a role I am not interested in?

Whilst we get to know you, some jobs might appear a good match on paper, but might not be your jam on reading more. If this is the case, simply accept or decline the offer to connect. Easy!

What do I do with my profile if I’m no longer looking for work?

Too easy. Simply set your profile to ‘Not looking at the moment’ and you will not be shortlisted for roles.

In saying this, many of our talent community keep their profile on ‘open to opportunities’, just to keep a finger on the pulse.

Will I find out if I am not accepted for a role?

We will keep you in the loop, BUT do rely on business to keep us in the loop. We know that this is one of the biggest challenges in the job hunting space, so we manage the communication to make it easy for businesses and talent alike. Keeping our community informed is important to us.

Business Questions

Can I see the talent community if I don’t have a job on offer?

No. Stevie is designed to cancel out the noise from hiring, which includes cold calling. The only way talent are visible is if they match a job listing & are open to opportunities/available.

Talent can apply for a job, even if they are not shortlisted, but the ball is in their court for t

Can Stevie tap in if we are part way through our recruitment process?

Yes, yes we can. Simply reach out to let us know where you are at and where you need help. We can jump in to take over the heavy lifting of sorting CV’s.

Does Stevie manage the candidate communications for us?

YES, but we do need you to keep us in the loop to do so.

The contact points are pretty straight forward and we appreciate the chance to give feedback to talent if you can share it with us. There is a huge communication disconnect in the hiring industry, so we work hard to ensure everyone is kept in the loop and informed.

Can I edit a job listing?

We tentatively say yes to this, as long as you aren’t shifting the goalposts on the talent. If you are making small changes to a job listing, you do have that capability, however keep in mind that this may impact the shortlisting or application process.

To be safe, we ask you to create a new job listing and deactivate the old to ensure talent are clear on your expectations.

Can I use Stevie if I have a job outside of marketing, ops or client services?

We have a growing talent community, so may very well be able to help you. Reach out and we can let you know if we can help.
