5 Secrets to Being a Good Recruiter

In order to be a top Executive Recruiter it's crucial to get sound, proven training. Recruiters must learn the process. Next they must follow and trust that process day by day. Successful Recruiters all use a method and make hour by hour decisions based on the question, "What will help me make a placement this week?"

High level recruiting is an art. Top Recruiters focus on those tasks that will place a good (or great) candidate in front of an employer who has a desperate need to fill a position. If the Recruiter has qualified the employer client and the candidate, the odds of an offer being extended increase dramatically. Top Recruiters have prepped both the decision maker client and candidate, to ensure the interview goes well.

Don't waste precious time tossing resumes at an employer. In my opinion, that's the weakest strategy recruiters use. It's not even recruiting, in my opinion. Any employer could have an administrative assistant sort through a stack of resumes and pull out a few they like. People are not pieces of paper. Decision makers who need a position filled love to work with a professional who saves them time and provides exactly the kind of candidate they want; they want their Recruiter to do all the work except interview. By the way, once you've proven yourself to a client, interviews often turn into a 'stamp of approval', because the trust is so strong.

A high level Recruiter controls and manages the entire placement process. They never stand on the sidelines wringing their hands, wishing their employer client would look at the three or four resumes they have supplied. Recruiters who focus on resumes, give away their power and their success. Frankly, they are asking their client to do too much of the work!

Hiring new people is a necessary evil to many hiring managers. If they are understaffed, these managers may have more crisis to handle. They may procrastinate, postponing time consuming interviews. When a company client works with a smart, effective Recruiter, that Recruiter chooses two potential hires (possible three), presents those candidates in a desirable light, makes sure the interview takes place, debriefs both parties, and ensures one of the candidates gets hired.

Top level Recruiters make hiring effortless and easy for their clients. That's why their clients continue to use them and that's why these clients are willing to pay the big bucks for an Executive Recruiter's service. It doesn't matter if you're a Contract Recruiter, Contingency Fee Recruiter (Headhunter), in-house Corporate Recruiter, or part-time Mom Recruiter; if you want to make more placements, have more credibility, more fun, and make more money, learn the recruiting process and implement that process every day.

HR Applications of Job Competency Models

There are many possible applications and uses of competency models. Unfortunately, a lot of organizations go to the trouble of developing models, use them for one purpose and put them on the shelf. Here are some ways in which you can take full advantage of job competency models. Use them to:

o Integrate all HR processes using a common framework to select, train and reward people.

o Assess internal and external candidates using assessment exercises, interviewing and instruments.

o Develop a model for high performing teams. Select and train team members, and use for team building.

o Expand hiring and succession pool. Models may challenge assumptions about required competencies and identify alternative sources of talent

o Retain key employees. Target the retention of top performers. Employees who see expanded opportunities for growth are more likely to stay (also impacting morale).

o Redesign jobs. Analysis of a job during model building can reveal ineffective job design plus suggested improvements from focus groups and expert panels.

o Certify competence levels. Design certification programs to develop and reward competency development.

o Design 360° feedback instruments and other developmental tools.

o Determine staffing of merged organization. Keep the top performers in the key positions.

o Create the learning organization. Use the models as templates to guide development.

Creating models quicker for less cost through technology

Competency technology has evolved to the point where you can now buy software programs to help construct competency models. These programs contain competency dictionaries, i.e. lists of competencies that can be used to analyze jobs. Some companies have designed their own customized programs for the same use. Virtual resource panels can be conducted for panel members from diverse geographical locations. As we move closer to computerizing all paper transactions and making greater use of the intranet and internet, this seems to make sense. The more we can use technology to simplify our lives, the better.

However, the process of developing competency models remains basically a human process. It requires interviewing, collecting and analyzing data, observing behavior, skillful facilitation of a focus group (aka an expert panel or resource panel) and drafting a model document. Judgment, ability to react and adapt to situations, to deal with conflict and resistance and uncover unexpected opportunities to improve an organization's performance increase the benefits of job modeling.

Using automated tools to assist in the application of competency technology is a good idea. Employees who can access competency models and developmental opportunities through a computer terminal feel more empowered and more in control of their destiny. Just be careful to not put the cart before the horse. Remember GIGO (garbage in, garbage out)? Develop good models and good systems before computerizing. Concentrate first on practicality and fit, not on technical sophistication.

Recruiting Tips For Reliability Engineers

Reliability engineering is a niche industry; this can make job searches for reliability engineers difficult, and recruiting processes for employers equally challenging. With reliability engineer career advice in rare supply, engineers looking to start a new career frequently do not know how to make themselves visible to employers; making necessary connections between reliability engineers and reliability engineering employers looking to recruit new hires is infrequently an easy task. For industry employers, recruiting a reliability engineering professional who fulfills all of the necessary requisites for a particular position can undoubtedly be a demanding, expensive, and time consuming endeavor. For reliability engineering advice on how to find and recruit the right hire, follow these useful, technologically savvy tips.

Maximize Virtual Prospects:
Searching online communities, especially those that are specific to, or have a high volume of users in the reliability engineering industry can be a very helpful tool in locating the right person for the job. When embarking on an employee search using social media sites, use the largest, most prominent sites available. Since one of the greatest advantages to recruiting reliability engineers online is the great number of professionals that are connected through these venues, it is important to use online sites that can offer you (the employer,) a wide array of reliability engineering candidates to choose from. This is a matter of simple probability: the larger the network, the more reliability engineers you will have to choose from to appropriately fill a job opening.

Be Selective:
Although the large size of many professional social media networking sites is one of the inherent advantages of online candidate searches, it's important to still be discriminating about which sites will be best suited to your needs as an employer. The value of using more niche sites is often underrated, especially for specified vocations like reliability engineering. Using social media sites that are solely intended for use by reliability engineering professionals and employers will more accurately focus your search according to industry-specific skills that you may be looking to recruit in a reliability engineer for your company.

Resume Load:
Most job-related social media communities provide users with the opportunity to post their resume, and information regarding degree of education they have acquired in a given field, along with a wealth of other useful information. This kind of virtual library is an efficient and relatively inexpensive way to review a large number of resumes, and sift through those professionals who do not have the specific reliability engineering expertise that you are looking for as an employer. In browsing online networks in search of reliability engineering candidates, select sites that offer a large number of resumes to maximize the likelihood of finding the best suited engineer for your company needs. This rule of thumb also applies to those professionals looking for reliability engineer career advice; if you post your resume on larger networks, you can maximize the probability of a prospective employer noticing you, since these sites tend to draw more attention from industry employers looking to hire.

Candidate Screening Process:

Don't be put off by a daunting number of resume prospects; online communities frequently provide advanced search options that allow employers to specify search criteria to efficiently filter out resumes that do not fit the bill; these engines can isolate reliability engineering candidates' resumes based on things like industry specialization and quickly present them to you for review. This means that online networks with a larger volume of resumes do not necessarily require more work on behalf of recruiters in the terms of the process of reviewing job candidates. On the contrary, technology can facilitate the resume screening process; therefore, more resumes translates to more options in terms of identifying the best-suited reliability engineers for a specified position.

Online Recruiting Tips:

There are a number of online resources that offer suggestions to reliability engineering recruiters regarding how to most efficiently and effectively complete the hiring process. These suggestions range from blog posts to forums on social media sites. Many reliability engineering-specific professional networking sites offer helpful advice to professionals and employers. Don't hesitate to take the time to read what other reliability engineers and industry recruiters have to say in terms of vocation-specific wisdom regarding working with and hiring people in the field. This can help you narrow down what kind of work experience and personal characteristics you should be looking for in a well-qualified candidate for a specified reliability engineering company need. It may also open your eyes to what professionals in the industry are looking to receive from potential employers, in terms of salary, benefits, and overall work environment.

The Art of Recruitment

"Hire people, who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it...;
Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine."

- David Ogilvy

Why Companies fail to recruit potential performers? Recruitment is an art as well as science. A good recruitment process is the foundation for any company. Intelligent recruiters always see to it that the company should get good performers to meet the organizational goals. World class infrastructure, ergonomically designed seating arrangement, availability of small perks like usage of internet during working hours and excellent employee engagement policies will attract potential performers to any company. Then why Recruiters could not sell their company to attract right talent?

Cost effective thinking or ineffective thinking: Every company has to spend most of its earnings inevitably on salaries of the employees. In any industry, major part of profits goes towards salaries of employees. Equal opportunity and equal salaries for equally qualified and experienced employees should be the success mantra of the day for any company. If companies will not follow this ethical policy, it is really difficult to attract right talent. Recruiters will forcibly, cunningly and manipulatively convince fresher or experienced in the same manner to take them on board, if they find right talent without exposing them to the facts about the company. Many of the companies use their websites only to highlight their mediocre achievements and hide their adversities. This will enhance attrition rate of the companies and decreases retention rate to the amazement of the Management as they compromised on the quality of the candidates and also hide the balance sheet from the piercing eyes of experienced employees.

Referral Recruitment attracts relatives; not talent: It is the latest fad encouraged in the name of another cost cutting measure to attract right talent. This policy also effective only to some extent which has helped employees to bring their relatives on board only to spoil the team spirit and team building efforts of the Companies in which they are working. Recruiting Manager has to take all precautions to avoid mediocre talent to enter the company by not just verifying certificates and should scrutinize like 360 degrees feedback through verifying four sides that is from external resources like private detectives, friends and relatives of the candidates. Some companies are asking astrologers also to find out the compatibility of the candidate and his staying capacity in their company, based on his sign of zodiac and behavioral patterns.

Gap between job description and job advertisement: Many companies write theory in their job description when they give advertisement in the media for the positions required to be filled. There is a gap between job description i.e. job to be performed and the advertisement which they give based on the theory they read during their days of education. For example, a HR Manager's job description is advertised, which is not based on the expected performance, but it is about the general functions of particular position. This will attract thousands of applications from the experienced as well as fresh job seekers, but nobody will be selected finally to the utter dismay of the unemployed who attended the interview. This is more disgusting during the situation like recession where very few companies recruit without much sincerity and honesty. Finally, the candidates are confused about why the companies recruit or why they leave candidates in the lurch only to force them to abuse the system, which is weakening the processes which have to be fool proof especially as far as the basic activity like recruitment is concerned.

A Recruiting Manager must be honest and understand the needs of the organization before starting the process and also understand the sincere needs and requirements of the candidates. Recruiter must be shrewd and impartial in selecting the candidates to help realize the goals of the organization. He should help the company to shrink the gap between expected performance and delivered performance. This will help Management to understand the roles and responsibilities of positions which they wish to recruit. This is the real art of recruitment which enhances the value of the balance sheet of any Company.

Finally, as John W.Gardner said, "When hiring key employees, there are only two qualities to look for: judgement and taste. Almost everything else can be bought by the yard."

When Recruiters Are Just Not That Into You

You call but hear no answer. You leave a message but get no reply. You email but receive nothing. You send a letter or even call again but you never hear back. You know they're interested, and you know it would be a great match. So why don't you ever hear back?

Face it. Recruiting Directors just aren't that into you. If I've heard one common lament from anyone looking for a job it's this - they rarely hear back on time or at all for the jobs they apply for.

Why does it happen? Why do you get the cold shoulder, and why do they play hard to get? Here are three reasons:

A. Sheer volume.

Most companies, and especially the large ones, get flooded with resumes. When I worked at Leo Burnett, it was not uncommon to get upwards of 500 to 600 resumes for one job opening. The sheer boundaries of space and time do not allow the typical recruiting director to personally get in touch with each and every candidate. To make matters worse, you've all been told to send your resume and then follow up in a week. Don't expect a call back if you do contact a company. There just simply isn't time.

B. There is no job.

Could this be true? Yes, it is. Companies often post jobs when they don't necessarily have an opening. Here's why:

*They want to collect resumes, so when they do have an opening, they have people to consider.

*They have to post the job for governmental or legal reasons

*They forgot to take the posting down from the last opening they had (happens more than you'd think).

In these instances, you will likely never hear back from a recruiting director.

C. Bad business

At some companies, recruiting becomes one of the last priorities. There are client demands, meetings, emails, co-worker issues, etc. Companies then relegate recruiting to the bottom of the list. The fact is recruiting should be the top priority since we all run on brain power - but not every company thinks that way. As a result, you send the resume, you even interview, but you never receive a response.

I have heard stories of candidates going on two rounds of office interviews, and then they never get a response. To me, that's bad business.

So given that most recruiting directors are not that into you, how do you deal?

1. Don't take it personally. It's going to happen. Assume no one will get back to you, and then you can be pleasantly surprised when one does. Don't get discouraged; rejection is just part of the game.

2. Let your friends do the dirty work. If you have a friend or acquaintance working at the company, don't be afraid to have them check in for you. It will seem like less of a nuisance to a recruiting director if his own employee checks in.

3. Be persistent, not a stalker. If you're applying for a job by sending your resume online or in person, make the call after a week to check in to see if they received it and to see if they want to talk. Don't expect a response, and don't follow up again.

If you've actually interviewed for a job, you can be more persistent. After every interview, ask when you can expect a reply, and then feel free to follow up if you have not heard back. I'd call, then email, then call again. Feel free to contact them every 3 or 4 days, but switch up how you reach out.

4. Know when to take a hint

Just like the guy or gal who never calls, there is a time to move on. You need to think to yourself, "Do I want to work for a company that doesn't have the common decency to even call me back to tell me if I have the job after an interview?" You may wonder how they treat their current employees if this is how they treat their recruits.

The truth is the job search is a lot like dating. You may have to deal with a lot of rejection before you find the right match.

Revamping Company Recruiting Strategies to Attract Top Female Talent

Developing an effective strategy for the recruitment of top female talent is incredibly beneficial for businesses. Women make up approximately 51 percent of all workers in upper management and professional occupations. Currently, there are more women in management positions than men for the first time in American history with projected increases in the total world labor force by 2018. They are projected to account for 51.2 percent of the increase in total labor force growth by 2018. Many new start-up businesses are operated by women. Women make up 66% of the university population receiving the majority of college degrees. More women are attending and graduating from universities than ever before changing the make-up of our current workforce. These trends will greatly affect recruiting and hiring practices for businesses and organizations in the future. Companies that want to stay competitive should actively develop strategies or change their current one to help attract top female talent.

The first step toward marketing and recruiting women to work at your company is to review your company's strategy. A comprehensive recruiting plan should include retention, diversity training and community involvement. As you review your recruiting plan, it is probable that you will see very traditional elements focused toward hiring male candidates. You might even find assumptions built-in to your verbiage expecting employees to work traditional hours; eight-hour days and forty-hour work-weeks with bonuses and vacations. Several recent hiring surveys show that when women look for positions, they look for different benefits than men. Flexible work arrangements have been listed as a main factor in what attracts women to a company and why they would stay with a company. Many companies are now developing female specific and targeted recruiting plans. Top companies with the best record of promoting women, outperformed competitors on average from 41 to 116 percent. In a study conducted by Pepperdine University. Another study indicated that companies with the highest representation of women in their senior leadership had better financial performance as a group than those with the lowest number of women. Sounds like a no-brainer to me?

Other research suggests however that men and women use the same search mechanisms to find a job. This leads us to believe that it is how we market the job that will become critical. Be considerate as to where you post your job advertisement. There are specific websites that cater to certain groups or types of professionals. Universities and Colleges are also great places to find candidates from relevant disciplines as are professional groups or affiliations. What about the tools that are used to screen applicants? In 2006, approximately 80% of companies listed that they used some type competency-based-selection in their hiring process. The competencies however, were based on traditionally male associated behaviors. When interviewing, have the candidate give you specific examples of what they did in a particular situation, not just a certain skill that they have listed in the job description. Surveys have also indicated that even your website can be designed to appeal to men or women. Maybe a focus group may be able to help to see if your site is on the right track? The point is to be aware of simple items within your process that may alienate potential new-hires. What about looking within for existing employees? Many recruiters and hiring managers do not actively seek out female talent already working in the organization. Talk to board members or senior leaders in your organizations. They may know potential candidates already working in your company that may not be actively seeking positions. Internal hiring and development of women are critical to support and advertise your brand image which will help you attract more candidates.

A company's brand can also make a difference when marketing to women. Few organizations take the time to review how their public image is viewed by women in the market. Women often feel underserved by recruiters and organizations. This fact makes it very important to think about how your message can appeal to women. You will want to reflect that your company is a wonderful place to work and employees are valued. Specific items that women look for in job ads or during the interview may include job sharing, telecommuting, flexible work hours, and options for child care and elder care. IBM Intranet highlights over forty different examples of flexible work-arrangements in the recruiting packages. Microsoft offers the opportunity to choose what parts of flexible work arrangements they would be interested in as part of their yearly benefit allocation. Deloitte has offered changes in paternity leave and an emergency childcare plan for working parents under six-years-old. Fujitsu offers 120 percent of a mother who has returned to work after maternity leave until the child is fifteen months old to keep valuable employees.

Companies that provide collaborative work environments also seem to be good at attracting female talent. Being a socially responsible organization and demonstrated diversity practices by management may also be important factors to attract female applicants. Consider how your image reflects women in a variety of roles. Recruiters have to understand how women contribute to their organization and their communication styles. Consider using testimonials and interviews that showcase what you are doing and reinforce how work is rewarded and appreciated.

Training for your recruiters to understand the specific needs of female candidates is invaluable especially in hard-to-fill positions. Adapting your company standards and recruiting practices to be reflective of your diverse workforce might be the difference in attracting more female high potential employees. Fujitsu Services redesigned their recruitment literature for job fairs. The company feels that it has doubled the number of applications from women for their graduate programs since re-doing their brochures. The recruiters also describe what they do at their job instead of just saying they are technology consultants. This simple communication style change when delivering the message has made a huge impact. Another important aspect to include in interviewing is to explore the transfer of knowledge by asking for real-life examples. This will help find quality candidates who may have been out of the work force at different intervals in their career. Even widening the range of college degrees that qualify for a certain job may provide you with more candidates in the pool. Some computer companies have added Latin, Philosophy and Law as potential backgrounds in one IT company. They have seen a 46% rise in female applications for their company. The point, one size might not fit all.

When reviewing and developing your own strategy, consider what your company's needs are when you create your advertisements. Thoughtfully place the job posting strategically on sites or in publications that meet your placement needs. Factor in flexibility and other work benefits that will be attractors instead of detractors. Carefully review your processes to see if they alienate certain candidates from the process. Even the competencies that are used to screen applicants should be carefully reviewed for bias and fairness. Ensure that your recruiters are trained to effectively work with female applicants and meet their needs. Finally, don't rule out looking in non-traditional places for unexplored talent like internal employees, other fields of study, or employees that are returning to work. The main thing is awareness. As the work force changes and more and more women are the managers and leaders within your companies, the methods and recruiting practices that you use to attract them will have to change if you are going to stay competitive.

Organizational Management - Performance Management

In this installment of our guide to organizational management we look at performance management...

Performance management plays a key role in ensuring that an organization, including its subsystems such as employees, teams, departments and processes, are working in a way that achieve the overriding goals of the company. Performance management comes in the form of general reviews, or more specific reviews of quality, quantity, time-frame relevance, or cost.

It should be undertaken at regular, pre-determined intervals, and also if it becomes suddenly apparent that a particular subsystem is underperforming. The same standard procedure is followed in most organizations, though exactly how the steps are carried out can vary widely, depending on the focus of the performance efforts and who is in charge of carrying it out.

Step one in the process is to prepare a documented plan that sets out the desired results, the way the results will be measured and the standards the performance are based on. The plan needs to be prioritized with first-level targets being at the top, and drilling down for each first-level target where it makes sense to do so. The results must be realistic and able to be achieved or there will be no value derived from the exercise. Finally, staff needs to be made aware of what the performance goals are.

Ongoing observations and measurements should then be conducted to track performance over the allocated timeframe. Feedback about performance should be exchanged throughout in order to maximize performance level.

Once the stated time frame for review is up, a performance appraisal or review should occur in order to analyze the results of the review and determine if the performance meets or exceeds the expectations, or if performance has fallen below the expectations.

Ideally, when beginning the process, an incentive should be established for performance that meets or exceeds the applicable standard(s). That incentive needs to be given once the review has concluded. In cases, however, where performance is judged to be inferior, then the performance plan can be tweaked to act as more of performance improvement plan. The process must then start over and be repeated until the performance meets the stated goals or until the subsystem or standard has changed.

Fake Recruiters Vs Genuine Ones

The Internet is a new marketplace for business of this generation. It is a frontier that many have made millions, either through legitimate business or for some through unscrupulous means. In order to find out which ones are real recruiting systems and which ones are fake. Here are some telltale signs that indicate the genuineness of the recruiter for your services.

1) Advance deposits up front

Real recruiting firms would only require fees for your personal membership and not for others that you would still have to seek out and register. So be wary of those that require advance payments for prospects. This would place you in a situation that you are already indebted without even any work done on your part.

2) Personal financial information

Register only your personal information. Once they require your personal financial information, like credit card information or bank account numbers, then be put on guard as this information may be misused to drain your already meager resources.

3) Require mailing lists

The prospects that you have are entirely your own and this is the cornerstone of the recruiting business. If you are required to register your mailing list, then what is being done is that the firm would be tapping your financial resource that would end up in you being eased out of the picture. Remember, prospects are the individuals treasure trove, so do not just give it away.

4) Research on registrations

Check on the registrations of the Company to see if they are reputable or they have been subject to complaints for unscrupulous activities. This is but responsible business sense as you would be carrying their name and if there were issues then your name would be sullied by their controversies.

If You Are Serious About Becoming A Recruiter - Become One!

As a recruiting industry consultant, trainer, author and recruiter, I receive numerous e-mails daily from individuals who want to become recruiters. Many have already spent hundreds to thousands on training materials. While it is easy to spend money on hopes of becoming a recruiter, it is not easy to actually become one.

Given that the recruiting industry currently has no barriers to entry, a host of recruiter wannabes flock in on a daily basis, but the door they come into this industry through is a revolving door. They leave at the same rate only to return in a few months or years and then to leave again. They keep coming back because they know that a career in recruiting is achievable, and that for those who have mastered the ropes, the sky is the limit. There is a general belief amongst newcomers that there has to be some secret formula to the process that consistently puts millions in the pockets of a significant number of recruiters. These people have to know something that they are not telling, and if only they too could find out what the secret to successful recruiting is, they could also pocket millions (or maybe more realistically, just a quarter of a million) annually.

Apart from the right training, to be successful in this industry you need to come in with the right mindset. This will speak to your dedication, your perseverance, your creativity, and your will to succeed. You do not need to go back to school to become a better recruiter; you do not need any new certifications or special licenses. The entry barriers are low and glass ceilings are virtually non-existent. Still like most new-comers know by now, recruiting is not an easy profession. Employers pay recruiters anywhere from $6,000 - $45,000 (or even more) in fees for each candidate that they hire through the recruiter. If recruiting were easy, employers will fill their open positions and keep these significant fees to themselves.

Successful recruiters through knowledge, creativity and perseverance manage to acquire strategies with which they approach both clients and candidates that works consistently. They reap huge rewards in the form of a steady career, and deposit a predictable amount of income in their accounts every month. Come into this industry with the right attitude, not just knowing which strategies are effective, but also with the ability to implement them, and you too should be able to succeed.

The training materials you purchase may give you strategies, jump-start your knowledge and certainly may help you hit the ground running; but true success in any field comes from the individual. Make sure you get this straight before you consider a career in recruiting.

Why Hire a Recruiter When Changing Jobs?

Recruiters can significantly increase your likelihood of finding gainful employment. However, many people wonder how a recruiter can help.

The following information explains the benefits of hiring a recruiter along with what they can help job seekers accomplish.

The Benefits

One of the primary benefits of hiring a recruiter is the personal connection you will make with them. Recruiters are more interested in getting to know their job seekers than the average interviewer is. The one on one contact you have with your recruiter helps them get to know you as an employee and an individual.

This will help enable your recruiter to find a job that satisfies your personal and professional needs. Recruiters are also skilled at finding the ideal career opportunities for their job seekers. They have a unique ability to hone a job search so that the results of the search are more accurate and applicable to your skill set. This means that you will spend less time going on interviews for jobs that end up being outside of your desired career path or range of skills.

Think about it - although the average person changes careers multiple times in their life, recruiters search for jobs every day. Recruiters are Expert Job Seekers In a challenging job market recruiters come in to play even more so than usual. Employers often receive more applications than they can process when the unemployment level is high.

This leads many potential employers to turn to recruiters to fill their needed positions. This enables job recruiters to have the inside track to jobs that you may not even find without their assistance. Recruiters provide job seekers with an edge going into an interview. Companies hire recruiters because they don't want to waste time interviewing unqualified candidates. Recruiters only send you on interviews for positions you are qualified for.

So, when you are sent to an interview by a recruiter the employer already knows you are qualified to fill the position. This means that you can focus more on being yourself and impressing your potential employer.

The job interview is more about seeing if you fit with the company, rather than you having to go over your skills and experience.

Recruitment Consultants With Expertise in Executive Search

Recruitment Consultants / Placement Consultants offer services for recruitment of all categories but when it comes to recruitment of Executives, they need to have Consultants with expert caliber in making rapport, developing relationship, convincing power etc.

In view of the increased opportunities and globalization and also due to the need for specific skill sets overseas, people have started looking for jobs abroad thus the need for Executive Search Recruitment Consultants arises. Many Recruitment Consultants have therefore decided to expand their business internationally with a thrust on `Executive Search'.

Executive Search Companies come across various problems and may have to face numerous questions from the candidates:

i) Good candidates are already placed in a good position with good Companies and are not interested to change their job. Candidates would require valuable reasons to think about changing their present employment and might ask for innumerable questions such as the Company size, management, working environment, salary package, perks, job guarantee, and flexibility in timing.

ii) Executive Recruitment is just not like selling positions and candidates but about building relationships, educating and influencing highly qualified and experienced candidates. The task of influencing the candidates is not that easy and hence the Executive Search Consultant would have harder time getting the job done.

Once the Executive Search Recruitment Consultant establish a contact and convince the Executive candidate to go for the interview process, he may still face certain problems till the proposed candidate joins the organization:

i) Has the candidate been convinced and is he seriously interested?

ii) Will the candidate attend the interview process as scheduled by the Company?

In case the candidate frequently find excuses and avoid attending the interview process repeatedly, it would be advisable to drop him rather than chasing him.

iii) Will the Company meet the expectations of the candidate in terms of his CTC, joining date and other demands?

iv) It can so happen that the selected Executive candidate needs to serve 1 to 3 months' notice period to his present employer. Under the circumstances, will the Company be prepared to either wait for such period or buy out his notice period.Certain Companies do not expect their employees to leave the Company without the notice period being served. In such cases, there is no other alternative but the Company who needs to employ him needs to wait till he serves the notice period.

v) During the notice period, the Executive candidates are tempted to search for better options, and there are chances that they may find opportunities where Companies offer better salary and other perks, and the Executive Candidates turns down the offer so received by him. The Recruitment Executive Search Companies needs to play a prominent role here by following up with the candidate and convince him to join the Company on the due date of joining.

In view of the above, it would be just in order if the Company and the Executive Search Recruitment Consultants could shortlist a few more suitable candidates for the job, arrange interview and complete all formalities, except issuing the offer letter. Offer could be given immediately; in case the Executive candidate who was offered turn down the offer at the last moment.

There are good chances of the prospective candidate joining the organization on the due date of joining, in case of the Recruitment Consultants is able to make a good rapport by continuous followup with the prospective candidates, making a relationship with them, convincing them that they are going to join a better Company, in terms of his salary, perks, working atmosphere, future prospects, opportunity for building up their career, and opportunity for getting promotions.

Overcoming the Challenges to Achieve Operational Excellence

The process of improvement is an on-going task and must be communicated from time-to-time to ensure that team-members understand the importance of continuous improvement in business practices. Along with that, it is essential to eliminate the fear of failure and to motivate team-members to optimise the work process by providing contributions to improve business efficiency.
However, there are a few challenges faced by top management that need to be overcome to ensure higher productivity and efficiency in business operations. 
Some are listed below:
Challenge 1:
Gaps between Customer and Business Process- It is must for an organisation to understand that their processes are in accordance with the expectations of their customers. It is essential to identify the gap between the company's processes and customers' expectations to meet the existing and future needs of their customers. Unfortunately, there are times, when organisations fail to listen or understand the expectations well and face problems later on. To overcome these challenges, there are performance improvement consultants who analyse the gaps that have occurred over time and develop solutions to rectify them.
Challenge 2
Inefficient Leaders/Managers- To ensure higher business productivity, leaders and managers must be motivated enough to make their team more efficient. If managers are not able to support the system, then they would not be able to meet the business goals and objectives within time. Hence, it is essential to motivate the managers from time-to-time so that they can work more actively in meeting the company's demands and expectations. Opex managers consider that the transformation will come only from leadership and they implement this philosophy in the organisation to experience the positive change in the bottom lines of the business. They help in motivating the managers to have leadership qualities so that managers can give the right direction to its team members.

Challenge 3:
Identifying Improvement areas- The rising competition has changed the way businesses used to expect their employees to work. Now, they do not only expect an employee to focus on one particular role but they expect them to perform multiple roles and tasks. It is essential to identify the improvement areas before implementing an improvement policy. There is a need to have opex managers who can guide managers to understand the areas where they need to divide the work between team-members and how things can be managed by using less, but more efficient, headhunter.

Why Recruitment Agencies Are Important

There is something that will never change as long as people are around. People are always going to need work to support themselves and their families and there will always be individuals and companies that need to employ those people. But it may be difficult to find the right individuals to fill particular jobs. And because of that businesses seek the help of recruitment agencies to help them find the people they need. These agencies will also conduct the interviews, do background test and give any necessary tests.
There are different types of recruitment establishments that provide different services. A common type of recruitment agency are temporary agencies but resume websites as well as head hunters all fall under the umbrella of recruitment establishments. Employers select the recruitment agency that best fits their needs.
Recruitment agencies as well websites follow pretty much the same blue print when it comes to finding employees. People come to them and they try to place them if they can. Headhunters are different however. Headhunters have certain things they are looking for in an individual and often the qualities that they are search for are hard to find. They then go searching for that one special person. Often their search will lead them all over the world. The positions that need to be filled by headhunters are often very important positions.
There isn't much difference between the process recruitment establishments use to determine if a person is a good fit and the process that the companies themselves would use if they were directly hiring. After candidates are selected from their resumes, the recruitment agency must then determine if they are indeed a good fit for the business they are hiring for. After that, there will be an interview or a few interviews. If the recruitment establishments needs to fill a position that requires a particular skill like translation they will administer the necessary tests. They will also conduct other types of tests like background checks and drug tests. If everything works out they will hire the individual on behalf of the company.
Sometimes, the person will be hired as an employee of the recruitment agency until they prove themselves to the company they were hired into. They are paid through the recruitment agency and they go to the recruitment agency with any issues they have. In other situations, they will immediately become an employee of the business they were hired to work for. Regardless if there is some probation period or not, it is common for recruitment establishments to follow the people they hired to makes sure they are faring well with the company. 
Recruitment establishments are important. Human resource departments have to deal with injuries, policy implementation, complaints and they often are the liaison between the company and the public; they are very busy and don't have the time to spend hours out of their day to find the right people. And in certain situations, the human resource director may not be in a position to judge if a person is qualified or not so you need headhunters who understand how certain skills translate.

Advantages - Using an Executive Search Firm

If you have a high level position that you are trying to fill, it may be worth considering bringing in an Search firm. 

Here are few Advantages to Using an Executive Search Firms.

1. You get the best talent available, not just the best talent that responded to your opening.

Job postings can be effective for certain roles but they only reach active candidates. Often the best candidate is the one currently working for one of your competitors, and they aren't looking at your postings. 

2. The best candidates drive revenue and success and have more impact on your top and bottom line.

You get what you pay for. And you pay for what you get. A good candidate will "pay for themselves" and if you utilize an executive search professional to seek out the best talent, the return on investment will be much higher than simply hoping that person who applied will work out.

3. Passive candidates are not looking. You need an opportunity marketer to get their attention.

High level "A" players are out there. They might be interested in joining your team but are unaware of your opportunity because you've chosen passive solutions like job boards and postings on your site. You need an search firm to get their attention and engage them on why your opportunity is one they should consider.

4. Good firms search - they don't "post" jobs and give you the best of what came in to the posting. 

They are hunters.

There are many "recruiters" out there and the title is misleading - they don't "recruit" at all. They rely on inbound talent and hand over what they think are worthy in the bunch. Your Executive Search partner will actively seek out the best talent for your opportunity, engage them, and bring you multiple candidates to choose from.

5. Decrease the "noise" and increase the quality.

The 300 applications/resumes you've received from your job posting may seem like a blessing at first. Until you start sorting through them to find that few if any will match your needs. And the time you've taken to sift through your inbox could have been utilized to grow your business. A good Search firm will only bring you 3-5 candidates who have been researched, interviewed, and screened for success. How much is your time worth?

6. Say goodbye to average performers and stop settling for less.

Research, research, research. 
Those are the first three things a good Executive Search firm will do when beginning your search. Their job is to find out who the "A" players are, engage them, and get them excited about joining your team.

7. A good Executive Search firm places candidates with talent development in mind and a goal to greatly reduce turnover.

It's not just about finding a talent who will grow your business; it's about finding a talent who can grow with your business. Every talent will be looked at from the perspective of present and future success. You want talent who will be with you and make a positive impact on your business for years. And only a good Search firm will look for your talent with that perspective. 

8. Solutions, not resumes. 

What is your company trying to accomplish by hiring this candidate? Is the candidate you are seeking the candidate you need?

The first question we always ask is "why"? Why are you seeking a particular talent? That seemingly simple question can provoke a myriad for interesting answers. A good Executive Search firm will ask questions about the goals of your company and partner with you to find the talent that you need to move forward, not just provide you with resumes that match certain keywords or bullet points.

9. Your company is unique and your search should be as well.

A good Executive Search firm will approach your search with fresh perspective. It's not about having a large "database" of resumes. It's about finding a talent solution to foster your company's success and then knowing where to quickly find, engage and bring that talent to you for consideration.

These are only a few of the advantages to using an executive search firm.

4) Not being valued: When we first get a job through Job Bank, we do our best to ensure every task is done to the best of our ability. However, as time pass you realized that all your hard work has been dumped to the “expected” pile. You are only recognized for doing something wrong rather than right. We may have been passionate in the beginning, but when one is not valued, they lose interest, motivation and their attitude may suffer – its back to the Job Bank they go.
5) They hate their boss: People leave companies especially when their managers are disrespectful and uncommunicative. New managers who got their jobs from Job Bank often find themselves untrained on how to lead. It’s a shame as result of some companies losing good people to the Job bank due to poor management
