"Dramatically Raising the Bar on Talent Acquisition"
I address the three biggest concerns top companies have regarding the recruitment process:
1) "We can't find enough good people for key openings".
* Many companies utilize internet job boards to some extent in recruiting talent for their organization. Those of us with a free email account know the frustration of sorting through a never-ending amount of "spam" in our inbox - well, a job board posting simply creates a situation where a company's in-house recruitment team spends morning till night sifting through thousands of resumes only to find there is one candidate who might be qualified.
Do you think Tiger Woods calls up tournament organizers and then sits back waiting to see if they want him at their event? Well, the people in the industry that are "game changers" are like Tiger Woods...they do not go looking for their next job, jobs go looking for them. If you want to finish in the back of the pack, then keep using the job boards. However, if you want to be known as the market leader, you should partner with a top recruiter who will not only attract the best talent but will effectively promote your company in the marketplace which has residual benefits long after the search has been completed.
2) "After 30, 60, or 90 days we discover that the person we hired really can't deliver what we thought they could".
* Candidates are often asked questions that they have already been asked on countless occasions over the years -"What is your biggest weakness, etc". HR Executives often state that various functional managers are not trained to ask questions that measure initiative, execution, leadership, past success and adaptability.
3) "How do we define the position in more compelling terms?"
* Companies traditionally rely on the standard job description to market a position. This approach does not present a compelling opportunity that attracts the best talent at a gut level.
* Temporary
* Temp-to-Perm
* Contingent Hire
* Direct Hire
