The recruitment dating game

As the economy recovers and competition for skilled and capable employees increases, it is vital your organisation does not disadvantage itself by failing to attract the best people.

Deciding how to attract the best candidates, how to manage the recruitment process and how to present your company’s career opportunities are all key factors you should consider. It’s not just about CV review and interviews.

Employer branding, careers website, current recruitment policy and process, hiring manager capability, and candidate induction into your world are essential to success. When is the last time yours were reviewed?

The size of the company and the skillsets required to support growth will often dictate the hiring route. Typically, advert versus agency is the decision to be made and many things will influence this.

Who better to manage the candidate journey than people who already work for you? Not only does it create opportunity to raise the profile of your company but no-one knows your business better than they do.
