More Than Filtering CV‘s
Boring….
Recruitment is often deemed an administrative task. Most Hiring Managers will tell you it’s boring, tedious, hard work and a system should do it for them. The owner of the business will ask, ‘How’s Recruitment going?’ and the managers most likely response will be: ‘Yup, all good. I just need to review some CV’s’. And, it is true, that can be boring and tedious.
The Smarter Way…
There is a smarter way, professional recruiters spend minimal time reviewing CV’s. They put out the right advert to attract the best people initially. Going to the right channels (job boards, websites, socials etc) means they will attract the right people. This combined with using a few simple questions in the application process to identify if the candidate is right, saves huge amounts of time on this ‘boring task.
What Else?
Once you’ve reviewed these CV’s, there is then what can be another challenging task of calling your shortlist to identify if they are a potential fit. Again, potential recruiters know what to ask, and importantly how to ask it. This means they quick identify if someone is right for a role and can progress them to the next stage.
Interviews
Using smart tools to arrange interviews will take a proffesional recruiter a matter of minutes. if you are a busy hiring manager though, this could consume hours calling, booking, cross checking etc. Making sure the right questions are asked during the interview, is also a skill in itself.
Offer & On-Boarding
When you’ve decided who you want to hire, you’ve then got to dig out that old offer letter, find the right contract and don’t even get me started on on-boarding. Proffessional Recruiters have all of this templated, they use systems to make the admin work easier so they can focus on the candidate experience and bringing talent on board.
Hire
Hiring a professional recruiter isn’t cheap. Committing to another full time team member with unpredictable future recruitment numbers is a risk. Hiring one as and when you need them makes much more sense.
