What is your biggest Challenge?

Finding the right staff in a candidate short market

Pre plan your future recruitment needs….

An important part of your strategic planning that often is neglected until it is too late!

What skill sets do we currently

need and what skill sets do we

potentially need in the future?

Set up a skills knowledge data base recording all of the skills your current Employees have.

Recruit and promote within before searching outside!

Think out side the box!

80% of Jobs are not advertised and only 20% of Candidates are actively looking!

Are we an employer of choice?

Human Resources,Friend or Foe!

The Human Resistance Department has lost its customer service focus.

Line Managers know what they want and understand the roles.

Great Recruiters know how to sell the role and your company to great Candidates!

HR Professionals are NOT Recruiters!

Strategies to retain new and existing staff

Train your managers to be great managers!

Lead by example!

Motivate staff individually!

Have real performance appraisals that truly recognise and reward!

Ask them what they want?

Providing only Lip Service to Staff issues will ensure a high turnover of your people and will hurt your reputation.

Then take action...

Useful background checks!

Try to get three references but two will do.

At least one should be from a direct Supervisor if possible.

One from a client can be useful especially for Sales or Customer Service roles.

Successful Recruitment is Commonsense!
