Step 2 : Recruitment 

The second stage of the employee life cycle is the employee recruitment stage.

The recruitment stage is just that; the active phase of finding great talent to join your organisation. This could be the result of an existing role becoming vacant  or a new position being created.

Lou Adler, CEO of the Adler Group shares his best recruitment tip : ” We can raise the talent bar, but you have to do something different. You can’t do what you are currently doing today.”

How Rezoomo can help :

Recruitment marketing is the strategies and tactics a company uses to find, attract, engage and nurture talent before they apply for a job, called the pre-applicant phase of talent acquisition.

We’ve built  Rezoomo with a very precise objective which is to help companies build and promote their employer brand and company culture to attract the best talent while providing a powerful applicant tracking system to manage every aspect of their recruitment. We want to build a more immersive, engaging recruitment experience for both employers and job seekers alike.

Four tips to succeed in the recruitment stage

Ask for referrals from your team

Be specific in who you are looking for

The worst employment advertisements are the ones that are very vague. Sure, it may be your plan to cast a wider net, however you should be careful to list all your pre-requisites to save both you and the candidates time in applying and assessing. Read our blog on how to write great job descriptions to help you as a guideline when writing your own.

Involve your existing employees

As well as asking if your current employees know a good candidate, you could also request they help determine the best requirements for the role, and also assist you in reviewing the resumes and qualifications of any potential candidates.

You can also request that someone in a very similar role joins you in the interview process, to assess the candidates fit within the team.
