Competition is a fundamental factor in any market. The situation on the market of HR services is no exception. Every day recruitment agencies receive orders from customers, every day they are looking for the candidate, the most experienced and motivated, the best employee.What can help a novice recruiter to win in this competition? This will be discussed in this article.
The first and most important is speed. In my opinion, one of the main indicators of successful recruiting. Desire to chat with colleagues, or a leisurely morning coffee can deprive Advisor all personnel cream. While You are only going to get to work, Your competitors are already called candidates, leaving you no chance.
the Second, but not least point is the planning. Aimless throwing from one job to another, unscheduled phone calls and letters, inability to prioritize work, all this time-eaters. Wasting time, you lose speed.
unlike most of the HR areas, recruitment is a highly competitive business. When the situation on the labour market is tense, i.e. inflames real «struggle for frames, to be active, bold and aggressive is a must. Often, the direct solicitation of employees from one company to another, may be one of the main tasks of the recruiter.
another Important factor of success is the proper information and in particular recommendations. What is the job of a recruiter? In fact, this first virtual search of suitable candidates for the set of customer requirements. Then a closer examination of the found candidates, including through in-person interviews. And coordination of the mutual conditions and wishes of the candidate and the company. Slightly different group to the Top job. This is often exclusive candidates requiring an individual approach. But their interest is not great and in addition they are people too, and therefore they can and should work in the direction of information, as with all the others.
Recall the famous series about the doctor: the main character always said, «Everybody lies!».
Candidates often seek to embellish your resume, and even add a non-existent facts of the biography. Testing candidates to false allows you not to spend a lot of time to work with a possible «storyteller», because such information will still come up sooner or later. The result is that the recruiter will miss time, good candidates and tarnished his reputation in the eyes of the customer.
Because currently, there is an unusually strong competition for top candidates, recruiting forced to constantly evolve. Due to rapid changes in the knowledge, information and solutions that meet the requirements of today may be completely irrelevant tomorrow. This requires recruiters qualitatively new knowledge about best practices, tools and tasks.
of Course, all the above is only a small part of effective recruiting.
However, will tell you on my own experience I have found that only strict observance of all these rules makes the recruitment process really successful business.
