Better hiring practices don’t have to be difficult.
It takes more than an online job posting to find your next top performer. A successful business is dependent on the people who work there. And when you’re in the market for new staff, you don’t want ‘anybody’ to take on the job; you want the best person available to walk through your front doors. You know you need the best, but what is the secret of better hiring?
When you want to find top talent but can’t afford to spend days searching, reviewing, verifying and interviewing candidates, partnering with a specialized agency like Morris Bixby can save you more than just money.
Having a recruitment partner with their finger on the pulse of your industry can not only help you find qualified candidates, they can also help you do it faster than going it alone.
It Starts With a Better Hiring Strategy
You need more than money to attract – and keep – top talent. Your specialized staffing partner can help you carefully focus on developing a hiring and retention strategy – rather than salary alone – that will have top talent waiting in line to work for you.
The Job Description
When it comes to finding the right candidate, the job description is vital to the process. Your specialized recruitment partner will help craft an attention-getting description that will bring in the talent you need. They also understand the current terminology of job seekers and know how to best position your job description to attract top professionals.
More Than Just Good at the Interview
Perhaps your interview with the last applicant was a great success. There was comfortable two-way communication; you connected with each other. You like this candidate. Maybe you’re even considering hiring them on the spot. Yes, they were great at the interview. But will they be great on the job?
There’s a world of difference between interviewing and doing the job. And that’s where the expertise of a specialized recruiter comes in. They have the knowledge and the experience that enables them to differentiate between candidates who will be top on-the-job performers, not merely candidates who shine during the interview process.
Access to Hidden Resources
An industry-savvy specialized recruiter will have access to passive and even hidden candidates you would never be able to reach. And because they work in your industry, every day, they hear the rumblings and grumblings of talented professionals who might not be actively looking for new positions, but who’ll be eager to jump when the right job becomes available.
Saving You Time AND Money
Hiring takes much longer than most realize, even more so if this if your first time doing the hiring. Partnering with a specialized recruiter, with confidential contacts already in place, means they can get the right people working for you. And you won’t have to absorb the lost opportunity cost of having to wait a month – or more – for the right person to see your advertisement and then hope they apply. Remember, the top performers in your industry don’t spend their days surfing job boards or uploading their resumes to online posting sites; they don’t have to.
If you’re in the market for a new hire, consider partnering with a specialized recruiter like the experienced staff at Morris Bixby. They understand your business and all its relevant technology. They have a well-populated network of industry movers and shakers at their fingertips they can employ to find the top talent you need.
