Tips for Recruiting Quickly

I‘m always on the lookout for articles with the potential to positively change a business. What’s your take on the following points I came across recently?

In the face of rapid growth or expansion, perhaps you are paying your current employees overtime to finish up work, scrambling to get projects done, missing deadlines, or simply turning down new clients because you don’t have the staff.

Regardless of the reasoning, fast recruiting is an extremely volatile task.

With the stakes incredibly high, here are four tips to help you survive this turbulent process.

1. Slow Down and Invest in the Right Tools

Recruiting when you are desperate for talent can easily result in a hurried and ineffective process.

Unfortunately, oftentimes, desperate measures result in poor decisions.

Regardless of how bad the need is, the key is to take a step back and approach the situation with a level head; don’t interview someone for the first time and have them start the next day.

2. Don’t Sugarcoat What You Need

There is nothing more annoying to hopeful talent than a long job description chock full of jargon and unclear wording. Most of these tend to say nothing about the job.

Keep in mind, talented employees know BS when they see it. It’s surprisingly obvious when a company is sugarcoating a job description, either to make the job seem like something it’s not or downplaying the reality of it.

I’d be really interested to know your opinion. Check out the full article here and then I’d be happy to discuss with you by phone (0407) 743-276 or email [email protected].
