The Three Steps To Create A 
World-Class Recruiting Program

Step 1:  "Position" yourself
Assess your pluses and minuses of your company, then answer the question, "Why should anyone work for our firm?" Write down the reasons and include them in your employee handbook and in each of your job descriptions. You will then be in a better position to attract the candidates you want.

Step 2:  Create a recruitment description for each opening and make sure all involved parties agree to it up-front
To create a powerful recruitment description (for a good example of one, call us or check our jobs page), you must first gain agreement and understanding among all parties involved in the hiring process about the compensation, duties, and expectations you have for the position. This description should include the preferred start date so you can determine the recruitment methods that will be necessary. Don't proceed to step 3 until complete agreement has been reached.

Step 3:  Create and implement a recruitment strategy on a case-by-case basis
Don't be locked into a single approach for all your company employment needs. You need to customize a sound recruitment strategy for each hiring situation. This will help you find suitable candidates within your time and budget restrictions.
