Happy Hiring – the fundamentals of ensuring a successful recruitment process.

Different decisions and considerations will be required for each role you recruit for. It’s important to remember, it is not a one size fits all approach. However, the following tips will support an efficient recruitment process and ensure you source the best person for the job.

1.      Use a data led approach

Data is crucial in informing business decisions and hiring is no different. How many people did you interview? Where did you source the candidates from? Where did you find success? Allow previous information and trends to improve your process.

 

2.      Make it personal

It’s not all about you! How your candidates are made to feel throughout the hiring process is particularly important and could be the difference between them accepting the job, or walking away. 15% of candidates with positive hiring experience will put more effort into the job. Over half of Irish job seekers will refuse a job offer based on a negative recruitment experience - make it count!

 

3.      Think outside the box

You know who you’re looking for, you just need to think about where you will find them. Not all candidates will be found on job boards! Have you thought about promoting from within or employee referrals?

 

4.      Shout out loud

You want the top talent to work for your organization. In your job advertisement, shine a spotlight on the things that matter most. Hopefully, there’s a positive company culture, opportunities for learning and development and a good work-life balance. Make sure these points are communicated.

 

5.      Stay on track

Keep the job spec and end goal at the forefront of your mind. Your competitors are out their recruiting for the same roles, you want to do what you can to snap up the best candidates with the right mind-frame and skillset.
