Every business is only as good as the people who
work for it. Without the right people in the
right positions, a business can't realize its
full potential. As such, businesses need to
have a recruitment process that attracts and
hires the right applicants.  
3
There are many ways a recruitment process can go
wrong. Maybe your recruiters aren't asking the
right questions, or maybe the interview process
isn't efficient enough to fill positions as
quickly as needed. Whatever the bumps are in
your recruitment approach, these strategies
should help you refine and perfect your process
for hiring the perfect talent for your business.
4
The first thing a good recruitment strategy needs
is the right team to handle the hiring process.
Whether you have a whole department that
oversees recruiting or just one HR staff member
who handles everything, it's important that they
are trained to properly handle the
responsibility. Have recruiters practice their
interviewing, help them refine their questions,
and train them to know what to look for when
interviewing potential employees.

In order for a company to hire the right people
to fill its open positions, everyone involved
needs to have the same vision for what the
position requires. Don't just leave hiring
managers on their own to figure out what a
position needs have the department managers give
their input, as well. Asking other employees
what they think the position needs can also give
you good insight into what to look for in new
hires.

While it's good to trust the people you're
looking to hire, trust should only go so far.
If a position requires certain skills (foreign
language fluency, math skills, public speaking,
etc.), have applicants take relevant exams for
competency. These tests will help recruiters
confirm that potential hires have the required
skills better than simply asking them at will.

Using an applicant tracking system to keep track
of applicant information, schedule interviews,
and simplify the hiring process will help make
recruitment a more efficient process. Applicant
management software can automate much of the
application and interviewing process, allowing
recruiters to handle more applicants in less
time. This way, new employees can be hired and
processed faster than before.

Job listings and interviews aren't just for
collecting information for the company. They
should also inform applicants of everything they
need to know about the position, its
responsibilities, and exactly what is expected of
them. Applicants who know what they are
agreeing to are more likely to be happy in a
position, and less likely to quickly depart.

No matter how well thought-out a recruitment
process is, there will always be room to grow and
change. Take the time to review your
recruitment strategy, identify any weaknesses or
needs that aren't being met, and ways that the
application process can be streamlined. Once the
ways the process can be improved have been
identified, they can be changed and updated to
better meet the company's needs.
