How to Be the Best of the Best Recruiters

If you want to be one of the top recruiters, not just for your company, but also within the industry, there are a number of things you can do to increase the likelihood of that happening. You can be the best of the best recruiters in the industry if you have a real passion for what you do. You also must strive to do your best in every recruiting action you take. Here are a few things you can do to step it up a notch.

 

Tip #1: Be clear and concise with every listing you post for jobs.

 

The posting for a job is, of course, fundamental. In fact, it is such a basic measure that the importance of the posting’s accuracy is something that little focus is placed on doing correctly. The posting needs to be concise, clear, and it has to convey the correct information. The posting should be free of typos, grammatical issues, punctuation problems, and awkward wording. If the job posting is not posted correctly and it is riddled with errors, at worst, no one will consider the prospect seriously, and at best, the posting will come across as unprofessional and careless. Also, make sure you are very clear about the duties of the position and the benefits that come with the job. The more information you can convey to the prospect clearly, the better.

 

Tip#2: Make it a no fuss, no muss application process.

 

The easier it is to apply for a position, the happier the applicant will be. There is nothing more annoying or cumbersome than having to complete a pile of electronic documentation before even having an opportunity to enter in a cover letter and resume. The prospects you want to apply for the position are those who are talented, bright, experienced, educated, and immensely skilled individuals. That being the case, you need to consider the significant possibility that the candidate also has a number of career options and offers he or she can apply for – if the application processes are daunting, you might end up losing the interest of the very candidate you need.

 

Also, consider the fact that the candidate you lose has friends who might also be looking for a good job. If the application process is too much to endure, the first candidate you lose is far less likely to recommend your position to other job seekers. The bottom line is that if you demonstrate a bit of sensitivity in relation to candidates, you will have an easier time of recruiting the best talent.

 

Tip#3: Keep pace with technology and the times.

 

At one time recruiting talent meant posting job ads in the classified section of local newspapers. The advent of the Internet then made it possible to find talent by posting job offers online. Today, social media is a significant way to reach out in an effort to find potential talent. Sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Plus are just a few resources you can use to search for potentials. Bear in mind that while social media might be the “in” thing right now, in the future there will be other methods for seeking candidates. As technology evolves, so should you and the way you seek out potentials to recruit.
