Factors to Consider in Formulating a Recruitment Strategy

Formulating a recruitment strategy is not as easy as we think. You need to consider several things, including the quality of the candidates for certain positions. Here are some other factors to consider in creating an effective recruitment strategy.

Level of difficulty in finding a specific skillset

Some positions are easier to fill than the others, while other roles require a unique skillset. Hence, you need to consider the level of difficulty in filling a certain role based in order to provide a realistic timeline for the employer. This can also be solved by conducting extensive research, not just on what applicants look for a job, but also what educational programs or degrees are most in demand.

Testing methods

Aside from attracting the right candidates, you must also shortlist the best ones. Consider providing testing methods to examine the candidates’ skills, and their capacity to do the job required. Although companies commonly use generic assessments, we prefer providing exams tailored to a certain position. It would test the limits of the candidate, show the areas where the candidates excel, and where they need to improve.

Recruitment cost

Whether you’re from a recruitment agency in the Philippines or the HR department of a company, you have to consider the cost of recruitment. To save a few bucks, we suggest that you hire the services of a recruitment agency. This can help you prevent exceeding from a specific budget because you are assured that they will deliver no matter how long it takes. Whereas with internal hiring, the expense won’t stop until you find the right candidate.

Company location

Companies located in industrial hubs tend to have more applicants compared to others, particularly to those located in suburban areas. The problem with this would be getting potential candidates within the area. If you can’t find your target applicants within the company’s location, finding a candidate who is willing to relocate makes a good option.

Remember to include the location of the job in your job advertisements to limit the level of applicant withdrawal due to location.

Giving incentives

Are you planning to hire hundreds of new roles? Try to give incentives such as referral bonuses for every successful referral. A good amount of money or a reasonable gift would definitely motivate people to refer more candidates.

Several Similarities Between Company Executives and Artworks

Recruitment firms who specialize in hiring company executives are like curators for unique and exquisite artworks. While hiring companies help determine the rates of employees, art curators tell us the value of a certain painting or craft – and sometimes how it will decrease or increase value over time.

The only difference between the two is that executive search service providers curate potential C-level and executives for businesses. And just like how every artwork becomes a great addition to a home, an executive is usually an asset to a company. Below are some other similarities between an artwork and an executive.

They increase value over time.

Just like paintings, great employees increase their value as they gain more experience, get promoted, and attend more training programs. Since most C-levels and company executives have already mastered leadership and other skills, their monthly rates are usually way higher than the monthly wages of other employees.

They are rare.

A one in a million kind of craft is hard to find. The same goes for finding C-levels and executives because they have critical responsibilities. You need a trustworthy recruitment firm to verify their “authenticity.” Hence, it is wise for companies to avail executive search services to help filter your choices to the best ones. Recruitment companies in the Philippines also do extensive research to learn more about hiring trends and ways to attract incredibly talented individuals.

They make things look good.

We all know that the Portrait of George Washington makes the White House look better. And just like it, having more than capable corporate leaders can help elevate a company’s image and industry standing. Truly, there’s no debate that having great leaders and employees makes great companies.

Why We Highly Recommend Executive Search Services

Usually, companies rely on their own HR departments in finding applicants. This may sound a logical strategy. Besides, who else knows their company better than they do, right? However, if you need to be assured on acquiring high-quality C-levels and executives, we highly recommend you to avail executive search services. Recruitment firms do in-depth research on specific candidates, including background checking, reference checking and more. They use certain platforms and software to filter the applicants based on the job description, skills and company requirements. Availing executive search services can also help small and big companies save time, HR-related costs, effort, and so much more.
