The success of recruiting is not about how good a recruiter or recruiting department is but rather how good a company is at recruiting.
Essentially, companies can improve their recruiting efforts by giving recruiters better tools to do their job and giving candidates relevant details on job descriptions.
The bottom line is that companies need and want better hires, faster, and at a lower cost.
Recruiters need top line Executives to understand the process and make changes that remove labour-intensive areas that free recruiting departments to focus on what they do best, manage hiring managers, tracking hiring process and interviewing and hiring the best candidates.
Recruiters want the most labor-intensive aspects of the recruiting process automated. There is better value in freeing valuable recruiting talent from the endless mindless work of finding-screening-admin work to focus on the nuanced efforts of making the best hires.
Currently job descriptions leave much to be desired. Most JD’s only focus on the job description and job qualifications. Candidates want Job Descriptions to have specific details about the job and company. They want an application process that is short and relevant/informative.
Candidates want to know relevant details on a JD, like: Salary; Benefits Package; Employee Ratings; Description of Work / Life Balance’ Photos / Videos of the Work Environment
To attract top talent recruiters, hiring managers and company executives must be engaged, providing candidates with job and company details that are relevant to them.
Making recruiting better requires working together so companies get better hires, recruiters are freed to focus on hiring the best talent and candidates are treated with respect and given the details they need to make important career choices.
