The bigger the company, the more complex and difficult the recruiting process inevitably becomes. Growing companies are challenged with a lack of recruiting processes that can keep them from making good hiring decisions. Developing a world-class recruiting function is easier with outside eyes. If your interview cycles are ridiculously long, if you're seeing marginally-qualified hires, or increased turnover at excessive cost, Talent Connections is experienced at what makes for an efficient and high quality recruiting process.
A few critical areas to consider are outlined below:
Employee Referral Programs
Are you tapping into the network of your current employees? Get their buy-in on the recruiting process and in turn increase their motivation and loyalty to the company. An employee referral program is THE most strategic sourcing initiative. We can help you ensure your program's effectiveness is maximized.
Interview Skills Training
Are candidates put through 8+ interviews before a decision is made? Are your managers trained in assessment and selling techniques? Are you abiding by legal requirements? Talent Connections will train your interviewers to utilize five types of interviews (screening, skills, behavioral, confirming, and selling) to confidently screen candidates.
Automation
Does the paper tracking of applicant files take away from critical time to source, assess, and close? Are you unsure which of the 500+ applicant tracking systems to buy? Talent Connections helps implement simple or sophisticated applicant tracking systems to eliminate administrative inefficiencies.
Metrics
Is your recruitment effort planned with headcount and expense budgets? Are you aware of the time it takes to fill positions, or cost-to-hire and quality-of-hire statistics and trends? Do you know which sources and channels are most effective? Are you tracking EOE statistics for reporting? Putting processes and benchmark measures in place to ensure your recruiting process is yielding the best new hires, for a reasonable price, just has to be done. If you can show the CEO these types of trends, you're thinking strategically. Talent Connections can help.
