Has your hiring process become a bloated mess? Hiring can be a time-consuming, stressful and yes, costly, tax on any business. And with various departments and people putting their hand into the process, what may have started out as streamlined and efficient has become bloated and ineffective.
Lure better talent with a simplified hiring process.
When your organization lacks efficiency in the hiring process, it can be a big turnoff to top talent. Streamline your hiring process and make better hires by implementing these tips:
- Have fewer interviews. Interviewing is a big time-waster for many organizations. Adding rounds of interviews inevitably include coordinating more people’s schedules, further bogging down the process. Determine precisely how many interviews you’ll need, and also how many interviewers, before starting your hiring search. That way, you can eliminate unnecessary delays and cost associated with excessive interviews.
- Use your testing tools. Don’t wait until you bring candidates into your office to administer testing. Eliminate unqualified candidates before taking the time and cost of bringing them in by emailing links to skills testing before scheduling an interview.
- Advertise in fewer places. This may seem counterintuitive, but place a job posting on a popular job board, and you could end up with hundreds of resumes…for a single job posting! Rather than send your job posting out to as many boards as possible to see what sticks, target your postings on a range of national, local and niche job boards. You’re likely to get better-qualified candidates, and you’ll spend less time sifting through piles of unqualified resumes and cover letters.
- Bring in a staffing agency. Staffing agencies bring experience to the hiring process. They can help you streamline your internal hiring processes, or they can assume part or all of your hiring process, freeing you time to focus on your business and saving you significant cost. Plus, the burden of finding the most qualified candidates will fall on the staffing agency, leaving you to reap the rewards of hiring better talent.
