Recruiting Nightmares:
A Foolproof Way To End Them |
One company advertises in the newspaper for a receptionist and ties up
the phones for three days. Another places a blind box ad for a controller and receives
more than 300 resumes. It's not surprising that the question I often get asked is: How
can I find a qualified candidate fast, at a reasonable cost, without taking calls and
resumes from hundreds of unsuitable candidates?
My answer? Create a foolproof recruitment strategy!
It starts with understanding and accepting the human resource market as it is today,
specifically the availability of candidates for the positions you are recruiting for. Once
you understand and accept this, you must then choose the right methods that will fill your
position (it must be fillable to begin with) within budget and time restraints.
What are the right methods?
Some methods include contract employment, outsourcing positions and departments,
temporaries, temporary-to-full-time hiring, specialists, consultants,
sending your open position to outplacement firms, colleges, etc, and the use of today's Internet
recruiting capabilities. Rather than being locked into a single approach for all of your
company's employment needs, you must develop a sound strategy for each hiring
situation. The wrong choice will waste your time and prove extremely costly.
To develop your own foolproof recruitment strategy, you must do three things.
First, create and nourish the belief that it is possible to end your
"recruiting nightmares." Second, become familiar with all the recruitment
options available. And, third, match each of your recruiting challenges, case by case,
with the solution that suits it best.
