Be one of the “Best Recruiter” Every recruiter is aware of

basics of recruitment process. Like how to use job portals, how to talk to candidates, when to speak or when to listen etc.

Other than all these all recruiters are very familiar with word database management and relationship building, however most of them still do not work on it to make it fruitful.

While creating a database, recruiter should have a creative view. As maintaining database is not only beneficial for its organization, but also for him/her self.

Database should always be designed in a way, that whenever you return to it you can easily find candidates with their specific details, whichever require to serve a particular position. Database should be able to respond the user’s questions easily.

When do you approach a new candidate?????

“Too Little Too Late”

Due to inefficiencies, other staffing companies seem to approach your clients (or would-be-clients) first with qualified candidates and you’re completely shut out

of the hiring process.

So Build Up Your Candidate Pool Before You Need It

Generation of Recruitment Need

Planned: The needs arising from changes in organization and retirement policy.

Anticipated: Anticipated needs are those movements in personnel, which an organization can predict by studying trends in internal and external environment.

Unexpected: Resignation, deaths, accidents, illness giving rise to unexpected needs.

Nearsightedness: According to a recent Price waterhouse Coopers survey of Chief Executive Officers, two-thirds of corporate executives most of the time use a immediate planning cycle. Requirements will come in without warning or even adequate information, and be declared mission-critical the moment they arrive.

And a recruiter should be ready to serve the unexpected needs of clients, otherwise a competitor will have an edge over you.
