Do Your Recruiting Efforts Need More Focus?
When it comes to recruiting, the most common methods most businesses utilize are outside recruiters, headhunters and temp-to-perm arrangements. And though the use of these vendors can add value in select situations, none of them lend themselves to the deep understanding and familiarity of your organization required to discover, employ and retain good people.
Unfortunately, most businesses lack a focused, on-going initiative or the internal dialogue necessary to build a strong internal recruiting competency. When the topic of finding the best and brightest talent comes up,the approach is often very reactive. Frequently, an ad is haphazardly placed and the responsibility is delegated to various front-line supervisors to handle the rest. They work on their own, without clear focus, the required tools, coaching or the consistency of technique to effectively fill the vacancy.
How Strategic Should Your Recruiting Be?
At Achilles Group, we encourage Recruiting Effectiveness as a vital component of your business strategy.
We recognize that your front-line leaders know the work demands of your current team and are therefore best positioned to determine the right skills profile and fit factors required of prospective team members. We also recognize that they need help, focus, structure, tools, coaching and direct, timely support to assist with recruiting.
We begin with a series of discussions designed to clearly understand your business culture and your current recruiting approach. With this information, we are able to develop a holistic effort that equips your team with the processes, tools and techniques needed to fit the current and future recruiting needs of your business.
After this activity, we then continue as a coach and ongoing champion of your recruiting effectiveness. Together, we ensure your leaders develop an ownership mentality and embrace the responsibility to drive all aspects of this critical competency.
