How To Problem Solve in Hiring
at
Making the choice to hand over the reigns sooner rather than later is often a big relief according to many of the HR departments and hiring managers we work with. But, moving forward with a recruiter requires some critical steps to help ensure success on all fronts.
The biggest suggestion we have for hiring teams is to start early. If you are at all suspicious that you might need help making hiring decisions, reach out to us today. We can easily begin having conversations and help you better understand where your needs are before your team is stretched thin and in desperate need of an extra set of hands. Waiting until you are scrambling to make a decision is stressful, but Perceptive Recruiting can help you prevent that "hair on fire" feeling by guiding you in the hiring process.
The first step after starting the process is to establish clear communication with us. Discuss the job requirements, the ideal candidate profile, the timeline or process for hiring, and the most important cultural aspects for a potential candidate to meet. It's crucial to be clear about your expectations to our team, and give us a clear understanding of what to prepare a candidate for so we can choose candidates that are committed to seeing the process through with you.
Creating detailed job descriptions is also important. The more specific you can be about the job requirements, the easier it will be for us to find the best candidates. Make sure you include the necessary qualifications, experience, and skills required for the job. If you don’t have the time to create your own job description, the next best thing is having this information outlined and ready to go for your intake call so we can help create one for you.
