FIND AND KEEP THE BEST

There are a number of key roles and tasks when it comes to finding the best talent, attracting them to your business and making sure that you are able to retain them. Human Resource departments have changed hugely over the past ten years and a lot of that has to do with the technological advances in HR software and applicant tracking. Employee recruitment is one of the most important tasks of any HR department and you need to be able to use the latest process of screening potential candidates and managing them effectively, so you are assured of the ‘best fit’ for your organisation.
The key areas of effective modern recruitment include:
  • Having a candidate screening process that relies on HR software that has been designed to fit your business model. Automated candidate screening and applicant tracking go a long way to streamlining the entire recruitment process without letting anyone important slip through the net.
  • Making sure that applicants can be tracked through department’s recruitment processes and having key interviews by people who have been trained to handle and manage the interview process. This involves buy in from different departments and a centrally managed system of recruitment.
  • Succession planning must be done in line with organisational objectives and management goals.
  • Recruitment trends tend to change rapidly and a core function of effective recruiters is to keep up to date with the advances and changes in recruitment. Technology especially, plays a large part in the effective recruitment of individuals to your business.
Having an effective HR software system in your business will do a lot to streamline the overall process and bring every department into a single system of recruitment and selection. Using an applicant tracking system is the best way to ensure that all of the pre-selected applicants are managed and handled effectively.
