Recruitment Doesn't Have To Be Complicated

When it comes to finding the right person for the job it can seem like a long and complicated process - especially if you have a number of people to interview or an extremely important position to fill There are a number of recruitment guides that you can read, to help you through this but often these can dirty the waters even more and make things seem even more complex

One of the best ways to ensure that your recruitment drive goes as smoothly as possible is to take a step back and simplify things. There is no need for everything to be complicated and you run a risk of making it more hard work then it needs to be.

Make A Plan

First of all, make a plan of the processes you are going to go through and how you are going to find the best person for the job. Set dates in your mind for closing dates, decisions, interview dates and even the date that you would like to hire someone by. The whole recruitment process is quite logical and if you have a plain in place then you know what is expected and when you need to have everything completed by in order to move onto the next stage

Keep Everyone Up To Date

If you have potential employees ringing you to chase what is happening, missing deadlines and generally making more work then this can make the whole recruitment process much more complicated than it needs to be. Let candidates know what is expected of them, what dates you'll be letting them know decisions by and what you are going to be done - that way everyone knows what is happening and you should be left in peace to get on with the work you need to do to find the perfect person for the vacancy.

Know Your Own Goals

You need to make sure you know what you are doing and why you are doing it. If you're spending an hour going through CV's to see what skills everyone has, you need to know what you are looking for and why. That way you are measuring everyone against the same level, and you can easily see who the best candidates are for the job

Take The Easy Route

If there is an easy way to do something within your whole recruitment process, then make sure you do this - there is little point making life harder for yourself if it is not needed. Look at ways you can do things without hassle, so that you have more time to concentrate on more important tasks.

Who Are You Looking For?

Before you start down the process of recruiting someone you need to make sure that you know the type of person that you want to hire and what skills/qualifications you would like them to have. By having a checklist of desirability's (and essentials) you can easily move on from one anyone that doesn't fit in with this and that will help speed up the recruitment process significantly.
