Fresh New Approach to the Hiring Process and Talent Search

Hiring Process

Companies should incorporate a fresh new approach to the Hiring Process. Talent acquisition teams need to tap into the vast databases contained on the internet such as professional networking web-sites, or niche career web-sites and conduct targeted searches that bring back solid candidates for the open position.

Hiring Process

A typical posting for an upper management open position can result in 1000+ resumes and waste over two weeks just establishing if the applicants meet the requirements (the overriding don’t). It is also highly likely that the people reviewing the resumes might miss a solid candidate simply because they aren’t the hiring manager and don’t fully understand the job.

Instead of using the Post and Pray method from above, businesses and hiring managers should be using the novel approach of targeted searches for the following reasons:

• Qualified. When businesses use this fresh approach, they are guaranteed to utilize their time interviewing qualified people and save incredible amount of money and time in the Hiring Process. In the example above, using the novel method, the business would probably return ~5 vastly superior eligible individuals.

• Active or passive job applicants. One of the best reasons why companies should be searching for applicants themselves is that they can find not only active job seekers, but also passive job seekers that may not ever see a job posting but are perfect for the position the company needs filled.

• Employee engagement. Another huge advantage of conducting focused job applicant searches is that when you contact, and eventually hire, the individual the person is automatically engaged and is infused with energy that comes from being sought out and wanted.

• Outsourced. Once the new process is fully entrenched, it can easily be outsourced to professional recruiters and thusly, improve the companies’ human resources efficiency and save more money.

Hiring Process

Job seekers are very frustrated with the current Hiring Process. The system needs to change. In today’s fast paced, technology driven environment, it is very hard to understand why business would remain stagnate and crude in their pursuit of new employees.

With current unemployment ~10%, the people in need of a job is a staggering ~24 million people. This number grows exponentially when you take into account the number of people passively searching for a better opportunity. Clearly, we need a better Hiring Process for all.
