Steps Toward a Successful Recruitment Process

Consider implementing these fundamental steps

HR Question: I understand that we are living in a "candidate's market," which means I need to be both efficient and effective when recruiting for new talent. I want to know what best practices are to create a strong candidate and brand experience. What steps should I take to build a successful recruitment process?

HR Answer: You're right; today, businesses are operating in what is called a "candidate's market." This means that job seekers have more opportunities and professional options to choose from. More importantly, though, it means that the top-tier candidates have the most leverage for the best opportunities. Secondly, it means that you can no longer use the same old hiring practices that you have used in the past when there were more candidates than there were jobs.

While the recruitment process may look different depending on factors such as business size, industry or seniority of the position, some fundamental steps can be taken to help ensure a successful recruiting process.
