“Four bad habits” that recruiters need to ward off

2010-07-26T09:40:00.000-07:00

Habits like email procrastination, making misjudgments, too much preparation and wasting time on social media are considered as the four “bad habits” that cost recruiters time and money. Though the habits are of human nature, recruiters can and should break those habits to save time and money.

Reading an email and procrastinating to reply back, either to interview or reject, is a huge time killer. It may look like wasting 3 or 4 minutes a day reading the email but when it is procrastinated for about a week, you would have wasted around 30 minutes or more. To avoid this, recruiters need to make a decision at the very first time. If necessary, a quick phone screen can help find out more information about the candidate to make a decision.

Making misjudgments or poor decisions is another habit recruiters need to ward off. Despite the candidate meeting most of the client’s requirements, recruiters tend to make personal judgments about the candidate and end up making a poor decision. In such cases, recruiters can consult with the clients to make a proper decision.

Spending a reasonable amount of time on research or preparation is acceptable but wasting more time on the Internet or on other activities like reading a resume can take a heavy toll on the productivity. Recruiters can have a checklist about the information they need to have about the candidate. Once they have that vital information, they can stop researching and go ahead with the call.

Social media is another area where recruiters spend a lot of their time. Though social media is an essential part of recruiting strategy, wasting time unnecessarily can make you run out of time. Recruiters need to plan and organize themselves to spend their time more productively.

Search Location Specific Bios on Twitter using Google

2010-07-20T05:23:00.000-07:00

The Google syntax to search on Twitter is

site:twitter.com “bio * * Keyword” “location * State”

For example, if you are looking for CPAs in California, your search string will look like

site:twitter.com “bio * * cpa” “location * California|CA”

Striking the right balance!

2010-07-19T04:53:00.000-07:00

Striking the right balance between clients and candidates is very vital for a recruiter to be successful. Whether it is building a relationship with the candidate or following a professional recruiting approach, recruiters need to clearly identify the line of demarcation between the two. Although this seems to be of less concern, it is quite challenging for a recruiter particularly in the early stages of his/her career.

Recruiters sometimes tend to bend too much either on the candidate’s side by being favorable to the candidates or on the client’s side by being too hard on the candidates. Recruiters need to be fair on both the sides.

Recruiters need to know the fact that they need to treat the candidates respectfully and at the same time maintain the professional ethics by assessing them thoroughly during the interviews.

Sending poor performers to the client damages the recruitment firm’s reputation in the long run. Treating the candidates harshly affects the recruiter-candidate relationship and it indeed affects the future relationship with the candidate.

So to be successful, every recruiter needs to learn to strike the right balance right from the beginning by maintaining a healthy and professional relationship with both the candidates and the clients.

What recruiters should avoid while calling passive candidates?

2010-04-21T04:49:00.000-07:00

Making a great first impression is very vital for a recruiter while calling passive candidates. Saying, doing and thinking the right things in the right way plays an important role in converting passive candidates into prospective candidates. There are a lot of minor things that creates a positive impact among passive candidates; however, there are certain things recruiters should avoid while calling passive candidates.

Avoid presentation about your company at the outset. It is not advisable to speak about the greatness of your company at the outset. Speaking about the company is not very difficult for a recruiter but that doesn’t build any credibility. It is better if you get right to the point – tell them that you have something to offer and ask if they can spare a few minutes.

Avoid asking “if you are willing to explore opportunities.” Instead ask them if they are open to talking. This enables them to listen to what you speak.

Avoid asking what their ideal job entails. Instead ask probing questions that would make the candidates open up and let you know the factors that would influence a change from their current job.

Avoid trying to convert someone too early in the call. Trying to convert someone very early in a call can result in a lot of objections. Initially, you need to build a rapport with the candidate which will help you to easily overcome the objections. Once you build a relationship, it becomes easy for you to proceed further.

Focus on Growing your Client List this Year

2010-01-07T04:01:00.000-08:00

Source: eGrabber Newsletter

In the last few years before the recession a number of staffing firms grew mostly through repeat businesses from a few accounts. Even without new clients, many of them experienced constant growth. These firms were the most hit during the recession.

Existing clients stopped hiring or gave very few assignments and new clients were pretty hard to acquire. The key takeaway was that a bigger client list would have helped better.

With the economic recovery underway, most recruiters seem to have a healthy number of assignments to work on. It will get better and be back to the way things were. But it is important that, unlike the past, you focus not only on existing clients but strive to add new ones to your kitty. By doing this you can ensure that you make the most of the recovery

Content networking destinations (forums, blogs, etc.) attract people who share a common career field or occupational interest and like to share thoughts with each other about it. The interaction is primarily based on the topic being discussed.

To involve this audience (mostly, passive prospects), you have to first contribute content. As a recruiter, your expertise may not be adequate here since you don’t actually work in that job (say you are looking at a forum for C++ engineers or php developers, etc.).

Get help from or guide employees, in your organization, working in that team to contribute to these forums. This approach has the most likelihood of getting participants in these discussions to consider openings in your company.

Tracking your recruitment activities and results

2009-09-29T01:56:00.000-07:00

Every recruiting technique has costs associated with it. These costs include both money and time. When you try a new recruiting technique you have to track these costs to evaluate its effectiveness. The easier of the two to track is money.

A simple way to monitor cost is to create a matrix. For each ad, internet posting, headhunter, etc. write the technique as the label for a row on your matrix. Then label you columns with how many candidates you generated, how many interviews, how many offers and how many hires. These are very numbers to keep track of and will give you very nice snapshot of the effectiveness of your recruiting efforts.

Tracking how much time you spend is a little bit more difficult. On the same matrix, create a column for time spent. Try to keep track of how much time you spent creating the ad, talking to headhunters, checking responses online, etc.? Your goal is to choose recruitment activities that deliver results in the shortest period of time and cost the least. Try this for a month or two and you will learn a great deal about what works for you and your company.

The importance of good keywords

2009-09-28T01:54:00.000-07:00

Most people waste valuable time online searching with inadequate keywords. A keyword is more than just a search term. As the name itself explains, it is the key to successful searching.

Using the best possible keyword will make all the difference in terms of expediency. There is an exponential relationship between keywords and results. For every increase in quality of the keyword there is a tenfold improvement in quality of results. Picking a single word unique to the industry will guarantee accuracy. The more accurate the results, the less time is spent clicking, reading and ranking them.

As a general rule of thumb a search should include four to eight keywords. Exceeding eight may confuse the search engine and return too few results while using less than four may return far

too many.
