For the correct selection of personnel often requires a lot of time to spend on reading resumes and attended interviews with applicants. Few managers have «extra» time on it. To carry out this work can recruiters.Why there is a recruiter in the recruitment of medical representatives? What role he plays, whether it is necessary generally?
The recruiter is usually called a specialist who is engaged in selection of personnel. The recruiter can be a full-time employee of the company and to selection directly to the internal customer (for example, the chief of the division or the business owner) or an employee of the employment Agency and conduct selection of external customer – the client, the company.
the Recruiter conducts a preliminary selection of candidates has watched summary, determines their compliance with the essential requirements of the vacancy, if necessary, conducts a pre-primary interview and only after that summary misses to your immediate supervisor. At first glance, why such a complexity? You can also send resume directly to the Manager or give him the passwords from job sites that he was looking through CV and was invited for an interview. Especially since he knows best who he needs. But big companies can’t afford to do that: managers have a number of other tasks, in addition to recruitment costs and time and effort on non-core summary, unnecessary calls candidates too can be costly to the company. Therefore, there is required a multistage selection process, and for pre-separation and need a recruiter.
some Big pharmaceutical companies have significant staff (especially medical representatives) across Russia, their demand for personnel is high. Vacancies generally are open in several cities and units. In such a case, and an internal recruiter or even a group of selection is often not physically able to process the flow of resumes and phone calls, not to mention the initial interviews. For these purposes, Pharm.companies often turn to the services of recruiting agencies where the recruiters already agencies conduct the initial selection of candidates in accordance with the stated requirements of the company.
Recruiter here performs the important role of intermediary between the labour market (i.e. the candidates themselves) and the employer, saving time and effort of both parties. It would seem – what good is a recruiter for the candidate? Significant, we reply. If the medical representative will be lucky to work with an experienced Agency recruiter, he immediately felt the effectiveness and benefits from such cooperation. Competent experienced recruiter not only will spend initial interview and forward his resume to the employer. But it also: write to the employer all the advantages of a candidate on the basis of the claimed requirements of the company (the recruiter knows exactly and specifically, who wants to see company), «sell» the candidacy of the candidate, will accompany the candidate throughout the whole competition, will be directed to the interview date, the terms of consideration (if known) and, of course, will report feedback to the candidate from the company on the results of each stage.
Thus, the medical representative is not «sent» resume / interview held in the company and waits for a response for several weeks, and knows exactly at what stage of consideration of his candidacy, what are his chances at a particular position, how to prepare for interviews, etc. This enables it to more efficiently and in shorter periods to seek work.
it is Worth noting that the recruiter here also performs an important social function. First, it increases the incidence of satisfaction with the candidates work, and the company has employees, it is through quality and targeted selection, understanding who and what he wants the candidate himself. The recruiter aimed at a particular employer and a particular candidate have found each other, to the expectations of the candidate and expectations of the company match. Job satisfaction is an important part of overall life satisfaction, is one of the guarantors of the psychological comfort of man. The employer gets the right employee motivated, the evidence of which can reduce risks and material losses of the company (the correction of errors, replacement of an employee, etc.).
it is Worth saying that a competent experienced recruiter, having the good name, reputation, knows the market in which it operates, can play an important role career Advisor is to guide the candidate on his career opportunities – based on expert evaluation of its summary, on current opportunities in the labour market etc. And although the primary task of a recruiter is to close a particular vacancy and as soon as possible, the recruiter, who pays at least the minimum time, candidates who are not suitable now for a job, but can be useful in the future provides advice and contacts for the future. Thus, when a new vacancy experienced recruiter knows exactly who to call. And the candidate gets a chance to be in the contest.
