Recruitment Lifecycle - Steps Involved
Recruiting isn’t as simple as finding a job-seeking individual, getting them to apply, and placing them to the open position.
When you’re hired to fill a job order, there are different steps involved in making a placement.
What is full cycle recruiting?
Full cycle recruiting is the recruitment process from start to finish. It is a multiple-step operation that ends in a successful job placement. Steps in the process include sourcing and interviewing candidates. A hiring authority, like a recruiter, who is part of the recruiting process every step of the way completes a full recruitment life cycle.
Here are different steps of full cycle recruiting:
Step 1: Receive job order from your client: It involves receiving the job order, then re-write the job description talking to the Hiring Manager, understanding what they want.
Step 2: Search for and recruit candidates: Once you understand what they want, then you source ideal fit using exactly what they want through different mediums.
Step 3: Narrow down results: This is the critical step which involves Resume Screening and talking to the candidates over the phone to find a match.
Step 4: Join interviewing efforts: To find the best fit you do initial screening of candidates, then if the client wants you to, you can sit through the interviews, take notes and provide feedback.
Step 5: Extend a job offer: When your client decides on a candidate, they will ask you to extend a job offer. You can act as a mediator between client and candidate salary expectations.
Step 6: Place the candidate: The recruitment life cycle isn’t over, the next step of full cycle recruiting is to make a successful placement. If the candidate declines the job offer, the process is not a successful end-to-end recruitment cycle.
Step 7: Be part of onboarding: Maintaining your contact with the new hire can help prevent employee turnover. If you are part of the onboarding process, you can answer any questions the hire has or address any issues they’ve encountered.
