A simple change to recruitment processes. by Madelein Smit

Why submitting original CVs is more efficient for both client and company?

HR Company Solutions Managing Director, Madelein Smit, has discovered that submitting original candidate CVs to clients, is a surefire method to not only allow clients to receive better-quality candidates faster.

It also increases the overall authenticity of the recruiting process and has increased the quality and mutual satisfaction.

Why we do not re-type candidate CVs:

• Allows for complete transparency when dealing with clients, as clients can see the originality of the candidates.
• The candidate gets a chance to make a good first impression with the client.
• Exceptional candidates put a lot of effort into their CVs.
• Candidate CVs are a direct representation of their personalities, creativity and professionalism.
• It allows us to get candidates to clients within a 48-hour window, fully vetted, allowing more time for reference checks and screening.
• Information will not be lost or mis-typed.

More efficient placements, but quality is still superior

Our Recruiters are trained to look for the needle in the hay stack. They follow our core value of sourcing diligently and only considering the best candidate CVs. We try to follow a 48-hour turn around period of delivering superior candidates, and by removing the re-typing of CVs, more effort can be spent on our thorough and vigorous screening and vetting process to make sure clients expectations are exceeded.

What do our recruiters have to say about using this method?

All of them agreed that significant amounts of time can be saved – time that is better utilized by focusing on making sure the client’s expectations are surpassed by a more thorough vetting process. They also like the practice of being completely transparent with our clients.

A simple change that has improved our recruitment process

Clients may use multiple recruitment agencies when trying to fill one position. The method of sending original CVs has been appreciated and praised by our clients. They have received exceptional candidates at a lightning-fast pace. Even when roles seem impossible to fill, this method has still shortened the turnaround time of getting those “unicorn-type”, difficult-to-find candidates to clients. While a majority of our success is attributed to our astoundingly talented recruiters, using Madelein’s method of sourcing has proved to make recruiters work more efficiently and effectively, while also giving clients the exceptional service that they deserve.
