- Learn to write job appropriate listing
- Reconstruct the application process
- Try utilizing outside resources to find qualified candidates
- Improve your off-boarding process
Craft an employee referral program
A well-written job listing is never enough to interview and hire well-qualified and trained candidates. You have to try every single way to search and find candidates for the job. One of the many ways recruiters use to find candidates is “employee referrals”. If you have not started taking employee referrals so far, craft an employee referral program. However, if you are already taking referrals, upgrade it. Include a referral bonus to make your employees begin searching for new talent effectively. The referral bonus can be given in many forms; social bonus, prize bonus, vacation bonus, financial bonus, and even additional benefit bonus.
Learn to write job appropriate listings
If only a few candidates are contacting you after reading the job listings, accept the fact that you need to learn to write appropriate listings. The job descriptions should be clear and written well. Moreover, they do not always have to be formal, sometimes they are required to be written in a casual tone as well. Other than that, they have to be super honest. The recruiter must only brag about the job that is worth bragging about. If the job is not that rewarding, avoid hyping it up.
Reconstruct the application process
Review the application process to identify the flaws and be willing to fix them as well. The application process does not have to be complicated. Put yourself in the candidate’s shoes and try judging the application process. If it seems quite complicated, it’s time to reconstruct and simplify the process to attract more quality applications.
Try utilizing outside resources to find qualified candidates
Do not forget to use outside resources to find qualified candidates. There are some colleges and universities that happily provide employment assistance services or hire sales jobs in Denver. Stay in contact with these colleges and universities and show up to all employment events. You would surely end up meeting and interviewing well-qualified candidates.
Improve your off-boarding process
The recruiter’s job is tough, he has to search and interview a lot of applicants in a day, week, month, and year. Out of all the applicants, he only has to pick one of two, it’s pretty easy for him to get irritated and rude to the applicants that are not qualified for the job. It’s important to not be rude to those applicants as well as to be in people’s good books. Therefore improve your off-boarding process.
