Time-Saving Tips Every Recruiting Agent Should Know

Time-Saving Tips Every Recruiting Agent Should Know
  • Opening Intro -

    As most companies know, finding the right person to fill a position can be time-consuming.

    Whether it's a file clerk position or a high-level executive job, hiring the best person is always tough.

-------------------------------------

Because of this, employment recruiters and human resource departments are always on the lookout for time-saving methods that will let them recruit and hire people who will be excellent long-term employees.

Employee Referral Program

In today’s competitive business world, companies that implement an employee referral program are finding they can save time and money, while ultimately gaining excellent employees. Considered a great tool to use since most employees are staking their reputation on who they recommend, it often leads to hiring decisions that fit a company very well. And to make the program even better, offering incentives and rewards to employees who help bring a new worker on board, such as extra days off or bonus pay can be a great way to get more employees interested in the program.

Keep a List of Potential Candidates

Along with having a referral program, smart recruiting agents and human resource directors always keep a list of potential candidates for available jobs. Whether it’s someone who impressed you in an interview or whom you met at a business function, having an up-to-date list of possible hires can always make the process much easier. Make sure other hiring managers are aware of the list and can use it for their own departments if necessary.

The Passive Job Market

Even though your new hire already has the job, that does not mean they wouldn’t take a new one if the right offer came along. To capitalize on what’s known as the "passive" job market, always be willing to attend career fairs and even advertise on television and radio. By doing so, you may be able to get someone thinking about your company who may otherwise have thought they had the perfect job. You can also stay competitive in your industry using this technique.

Use Your Network

Perhaps above all, use your professional network to find the best candidates for any openings in your company. Whether using social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter, or talking to people at a business dinner or luncheon, this is always a great way to find new employees. Be sure to use this opportunity to also get a background check on your leads. You can find anyone with CheckPeople.com and with these you can get an online background check and arrest records should the information come up.

Whether you use one or all of these time-saving tips, chances are you will find the right person for the job. And since time is money in today’s business world, implementing these tips will save you plenty of both.
