Making good ‘talent’ decisions... your recruitment process
Many employers struggle to find the time to put in place a structured recruitment process. Not doing this is a false economy as it will cost you much more in the long run, and in ways that you may not have thought about.
Without a shadow of a doubt, investing in processes that establish the answers to the following questions will save you time, money and a lot of unnecessary worry and regret.
Do I really need to recruit? Just because someone has resigned, don’t assume you simply need to recruit to replace
What is the role I am looking to fill? If you do need to recruit, what does the role look like – can it be improved to better fit the needs of your business?
Who am I looking for? Skills, knowledge, experience – and don’t forget personal values, motivations and attitudes
How will I go about looking for them? Filtering job applications, screening, interviewing, testing
