We all know what’s Recruitment and fact that these indeed patient people hire specialist for your company.
Hiring a specialist doesn’t always come to the interview and ability to invite the guy to the office.
A true recruiter has to be fast, smart and visible on professional social media.
Let’s see how every recruiter spend one day of his life)
I’m a Social media star
Being a recruiter means active communication and chatting on the daily basis. Professionals transform themselves into a brand.
Fact: 67% of people who found their most recent job on social media used Facebook to do so. (Source: Jobvite)
As a matter of fact, everyone who’s thinking of changing the company or just looking for new opportunities doesn’t do it on job searching-oriented resources. 52% of people found their current job on social media while chilling and listing some interesting articles or groups.
Once you’re tired after work you just want to watch funny videos or read some IT news in order to distract yourself from current work tasks/problems.
That’s exactly where you have a chance to catch potential candidate’s attention and sell the idea that your company is indeed better place for him/her to work.
How??? Respect to those Recruiters who have their own blog or write engaging posts that you have a pleasure to read after a hard working day.
More than, their name is already a brand. It means that once somebody mentions their name you won’t associate it with a person or name itself but recruiting and someone who can help you with a new job.
Rule: If you want to understand the potential employee of your company think as if you were him/her!
Speed up they’re already waiting!
Being fast is a crucial moment in recruiting. Don’t let somebody wait too long for you to offer a job/interview or worse, decision after the interview.
Quick fact: Top candidates stay available for 10 days only before getting hired.
Most times, it’s not about who has better conditions it’s about who was first. Unfortunately, sometimes recruiters make a person wait for a long time before they contact and let you know their decision.
Of course, the more important the position in the company the more time you probably need to make the right decision but remember – top talents don’t have a habit to stay unemployed for too long)
Your best candidate is already employed
Do you know that best fit for the position you have to close as a recruiter is already working somewhere and probably doesn’t even have any thoughts of changing the company?
Your main goal is to persuade him/her that he/she deserves better conditions (salary, project, environment, company, interesting projects whatever your fantasy is ready to come up with) adn your company’s able to fulfill his/her needs.
To put it another way, you have to be shameless/confident but at the same time polite and ready to fight for the candidate.
Every day you don’t have progress on your open job position you should feel like a new challenge and be ready to tell the whole about this fantastic opportunity.
Otherwise, you’re just an average recruiter with no standout skills!
To Sum Up
Once you’re going to recruit someone, do think as if you were the candidate with no or very small intention to apply for the position.
All things considered, every day some skillful specialist decides to change the company and it’s just the matter of whose merit it is)
