FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the difference between Blue Chip Expert and Blue Chip Exec?
Blue Chip Expert was purchased by Blue Chip Exec, has been renamed Blue Chip Exec, and is now a free site for candidate posting and searching by hiring managers. In the next few months we will be introducing exciting new features to enable senior managers and executive job seekers to dramatically accelerate their job search.
How do I obtain an invitation code?
Invitations are only provided by existing Blue Chip Exec members. Obtaining an invitation is best achieved by locating an existing Blue Chip Exec member within your own professional and social networks.
How does Blue Chip Exec work?
Blue Chip Exec is a site for hiring managers to find highly qualified professionals. We take the best of the web to bring an efficient model to traditional recruiting.
There are three types of roles for membership:
- Professional seeking work
- Hiring managers & recruiters
- Networkers - not going to hire or work but knows both professionals and hiring managers
Most importantly we are not a job board site, but more of a 'people board' site. Hiring managers use our patent pending search engine to find profiles of candidates that meet the job spec. Once they have created a short list we tap our vast network of candidates to pull in candidates that are interested and available. We call this Activated Social Networking (ASN).
I am at times a hiring manager, and at times a candidate. How can I register for both roles?
The current system, only a single role selection is supported; we suggest simply selecting the role of professional. You will be alerted of potential job opportunities and will be able to search our system for candidates.
How can I view when and whom I invited, and whether they have responded to my invitation or not?
Simply log in to Blue Chip Exec and click on the "My Account" tab then the "My Invitations" in the navigation panel. You will see the invitations summary box that displays the number of invitations you have sent and your invitation activity for the past 30 days. Below the Invitation Summary is the Invitation Tracking dashboard. Here you can quickly sort, resend invitations or reminders or delete invitations from your list.
Click on any of the header columns to sort your list. For example, if you click on First Name, the list will be ordered alphabetically from A to Z. If you click on First Name again the list will be ordered from Z to A.
The "My Account" menu tab will bring up an initial page that shows the total number of people that have registered in your network down through three levels. You can see more information by selecting "My Network" under the "My Account" menu tab. You will see a breakdown of the network by role and level. Additionally, you will see a list of those people that were invited with your personal invitation code and have registered themselves as part of your network. The Level 2 and Level 3 registrants are not identified by name as they registered at the invitation of someone other than you.
Are there any fees associated with Blue Chip Exec?
It is free to search and free to view applicant profiles.
How do I search?
When searching we ask you to select 2-3 target profiles that have the skills and experience you would like to hire. We then 'activate' our targeted networks by sharing your requirements with members that fit your target profiles. Typically it only takes hours to get responses from highly talented professionals who are interested and available in your position.
I would like to terminate my membership; how do I do this?
Currently you need to notify us through email with a request to cancel your account. Direct these requests to Help@BlueChipExec.com.
