5 Tips To Make Your Recruitment More Effective
Number 1
Marketing to Potential Employees with Your Company Profile
The company profile is a good mean to differentiate your company from hundreds of other employers. Make the company profile as a marketing vehicle which includes a basic description of your products and services, contact information, and general benefit information. We also suggest you include: -
- Number of years your company has been in business and the development
- Number of employees in your organization
- Whether the company is privately-owned or publicly traded
- Milestones and achievements (anniversaries, number of customers served or products produced, awards, etc.)
- Company values and the keys to success
- Employee testimonials
- Photographs of your facilities, staff, and products
You can ask your current employees what they like most about working at you company if you're not sure what information to include in your company profile.
Number 2
Writing Effective Job Postings
- Advertising Your Company
The more job seekers know about how great your company is, the more they'll want to be employed and stay employed with you. Marketing your company as well as your job openings is important. Why does an applicant want to work for your company? What makes your company apart from the rest? What type of company is it and how long have you been in business?
- Job Requirements
Particular job requirements are something job seekers have the potential to learn from the job. The candidates may think on the certain qualifications be 'preferred' instead of required. The job requirement is a "rule" that you set to look for the right people. Would you overlook candidates without these qualifications or could you provide training to the right person? Make sure that you indicate the preferable and required skills clearly in your posting. You'll often find the most valuable quality in a candidate will be a willingness and ability to learn.
- Compensation
Always begin your advertisement by listing the minimum salary you're willing to pay to a person who might need 'on the job training' ranging to what you'd be willing to pay that 'perfect' person who has all the experience and skills you're looking for. Advertise a pay range associated with a particular position. This way you will leave room for negotiation without limiting your candidate pool.
- Benefits & Incentives
Benefits and incentives are important for job seeker to consider on. So, always outline your insurance plans, as most job seekers are looking for a long-term position. Do you offer 'perks' like tuition reimbursement, day care allowance, casual Fridays, flextime, parking, health club memberships and so on?
- Contact Information
You will miss out on hearing from ideal candidates by limiting the different ways one can apply for a position. The candidates who might not have access to a fax machine or the ability to send an email from home may lose their opportunity to apply for the jobs. Thus, always provide multiple ways for job seekers to submit a resume or contact you.
Number 3
Using Simple HTML to Enhance Your Job Description or Company Profile
You also can use simple HTML code to format your company profile or job posting which will make your career opportunity more appealing to job seekers. The common HTML codes are highlight, bold, enhance, and colored and so on. The HTML codes will make your posting more outstanding.
Number 4
Using Banner Advertising to Increase Visibility
In order to reach a larger number of quality candidates, place banner ads featuring your company's key message and logo on the most popular site. It will drive more qualified job seekers to your job openings. When a job seeker clicks on your banner ad, a special page displaying your job postings with a link to your company profile is displayed. This is a good way to reach multi nations candidate as well as promote your company.
Number 5
Searching the Resume Database
You may use the Resume Database to search for difficult-to-fill positions that may require a special skill or unique combination of experience and education. In addition, you may locate passive job seekers - 30% of the workforce who are not actively interviewing and job hunting but would be open to an exceptional opportunity.
Here are some specific tips to make your keyword searches more productive:
- To broaden your results to view more resumes, use a general term (e.g., engineering) and the Any Words option
- To narrow your results and view fewer resumes, use a more specific term (e.g., network engineer) and the Exact Phrase option
- To view the most current resumes, select Posted Date in the Sort drop-down list.
