Saving Time and Money When Hiring

We are always surprised when we see how many companies and organisations are still collecting resumes by hand or email. With the amount of job seekers in Canada today many Human Resource departments are being inundated with hundreds of applicants a week. The expectation place on them is that each application or resume will be read to determine if the individual is a good fit for the organisation.
There are two main problems with this method. The first is that it takes a LOT of time to read through that many resumes.

The second problem is that the same applicant could be scored differently by the same person at different times of the day based on opinion and not on facts about their experience.

HireGround Articles For Job Seekers: Employers laying out the welcome mat

After months in which part-time jobs and self employment represented the bulk of job creation, a new survey points to a welcome trend toward increased professional hiring in Canada.

“Definitely the trend has changed over the year. In the first quarter of the year, just 10 per cent of executives expected to hire and 7 per cent anticipated staff cuts. For the fourth quarter of this year, 17 per cent are planning active hiring and just 2 per cent plan reductions,” said Mike Gooley, regional vice-president of Robert Half Canada, which commissioned the survey of 1,000 executives in a range of industries.Over all, 87 per cent of the executives said they are confident that their companies will grow between now and the end of the year.

Great Hires = Good Sourcing plus Great Recruiting

When you are on the search for a new employee are you relying only on those applying to your job ad or are you actively seeking them out?
Not all of the top talent is out there looking for new jobs, many are more passive job seekers. So how do you go about recruiting them to your company over staying where they are?
I was reading this article by Lou Adler on ERE.net and it got me thinking about this. Now I don’t know that I agree with everything in here but he makes some interesting points enjoy.
Hiring great talent is not about great sourcing; it’s about great recruiting. And if you continue to chase the next sourcing silver bullet you’ll wind upexactly where you are today in 5-10 years from now.

Are You Leaving Job Candidates with a Negative Impression?

Over the past few years there seems to be a change in the candidate experience, and it isn’t a positive one.

Let’s forget for a moment the hundreds of applicants who apply for a particular position, with a small percentage of them qualified. The candidate experience is not going to be positive for the unqualified applicants, and that’s okay. If they had taken seriously the minimum qualifications listed on the job posting, they would have realized they didn’t have a chance.
