Top Recruiting Tips from Express Austin SW
SW Austin - October 02, 2023
In today’s competitive job market, recruiting plays a critical role in connecting the right talent with employers. Recruiters need to stay on top of their game and continuously refine their recruiting strategies. With nearly 50 years of combined recruiting experience, our expert recruiters have some tips to help you succeed:
Craft a simple job description. Job descriptions today are often way too long and convoluted. A strong job ad should be succinct and clear –you don’t need 20 different bullet points.
Be an advocate for your candidates. Your role is to work on behalf of both the client and the candidate. When you serve both parties, it helps build relationships, trust, honesty, and referrals.
Follow-up is key. Recruiters often get a bad reputation because they often focus on the client more than the candidate. Don’t forget to update the candidate throughout the recruiting process. How would you feel if you were excited about an opportunity and never heard back from the recruiter? Try putting yourself in your candidate’s shoes.
Make interviews engaging. Most people dread being interviewed! A skilled recruiter knows how to make the candidate feel comfortable and avoid making the interview feel like an interrogation. The objective should be to build rapport and engage the candidate in the conversation.
