Taking a Holistic Approach to Recruitment

Taking a Holistic Approach to Recruitment »

Many businesses based their recruitment efforts on a selective and sophisticated process whereby the company attempts to gage whether a potential employee has the requisite skill set and history of accomplishment to be effective in the open position. However, there is a wealth or research which points to the fact that nearly 75% of new hires do not remain in their position after a three month period. It is most often the case that new employee leave a company, not because of the job responsibilities in and of themselves, but because there is some type of disconnect between the suitability of the employee to the overall work environment.

Monday Morning Inspiration – Plan For Success

[youtube clip_id=”Y6bbMQXQ180″]

Motivation is always important for a Recruiter, but so is having a plan. As we go into week two of August- it is a good time to take a look at your recruiting plan. Are you on pace to hit your goals?

As Recruiters we need to always be aware of our production and the the areas that our desks might be under preforming. Do we need better candidates? Are more opportunities needed? Where are things coming up short? Take a step back and reassess and adjust your recruiting plan if necessary.

The key to keep in mind is to not complicate things. Sometimes the best plan is just keeping it simple- as perfectly illustrated in the clip above by Richard St. John.

Here is to a great week Recruiters…..

Being Fair With Your Recruiting Vendors and Benefiting Yourself in the Process

Being Fair With Your Recruiting Vendors and Benefiting Yourself in the Process »

I work with many clients who are overwhelmed with a schedule that is easy to lose control over.

They are interviewing people every 30 minute, speaking with hiring managers, chasing those same hiring managers, evaluating, assessing, qualifying potential hires, putting together and extending job offers, checking references PLUS talking to 3rd party recruiters who are incompetent to evaluate talent (this is what they tell me).
