Tailoring Your Hiring Process to Meet Your Goals in 2022
Dec 22, 2021
Many companies are setting their goals for the year to come. What many organizations don’t consider is that many of the solutions to issues within the business start with your hiring process. Recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding are all time-consuming tasks, but they are critical to the success of your organization. You want to make a good first impression, ensure the candidate is a good fit, give them the tools they need to succeed, and then receive regular feedback from employees about what you can do to improve their experience. Thankfully, there are staffing professionals available to assist employers with all of their hiring needs.
Your Business Relies on the Right Hiring Decisions
Making a bad hire can seriously hurt your business. However, when you hire the right individuals for the job, your organization will absolutely flourish. That being said, you have to look for the right skills and experience, listen for good answers during your interviews, and learn about each individual’s personality to determine a good fit. A perfectly tailored resume or practiced interview questions alone won’t ensure that someone is a good fit though.
Year-End in Review
Human resources have become a full-time focus for many organizations. Not only do they need to put more time into finding quality candidates, but more effort is needed to retain top talent these days. It is time-consuming and can even feel tedious at times. You have to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of your employees, address their needs, and attempt to find potential new hires that will fit into the big picture.
That is why more companies are turning to a staffing firm for help with workforce management, HR recruitment, human capital management, career advancement, recruiting, and payroll services. Piecing together the perfect team is a challenge. That’s where Hire Level comes in.
In 2021, HireLevel Has…
- Employed 8,270 individuals
- Interviewed 19,299 prospects
- Called 328,756 candidates
- Reviewed more than 40,000 new candidates
To accomplish these numbers, our recruiters reviewed more than 100 resumes, made thousands of calls, completed dozens of interviews, and got someone started working every single day of the working year. Our mission is to work hard so your company does not have to. We do the heavy lifting during the hiring process and provide you with candidates that will help your business excel.
Growing Skills Gap and Struggling Talent Market
Throughout the year, employers have been faced with difficulties when it comes to hiring. Increasingly, there are skills gaps that need to be addressed with your staff. Technology is continuing to be introduced in every industry that is making further training and education a must. So, many companies are investing more time and money into offering career development opportunities to their employees.
Speaking of career development, many employers will be looking for transferable soft skills in new hires rather than hard technical skills. Many companies have started to look for people who fit into their overall culture rather than employees who have technical knowledge. Much of what you do on the job can be taught if you have the right attitude.
Because there is a talent shortage right now, sourcing for soft skills and culture fit can help you find dependable employees. You can train them to do the rest. Some of the best soft skills to screen for are adaptability, dependability, and time management. These three things can get an employee fairly far.
On top of that, employers are also changing the way they hire new employees. If the candidate is being brought into the company for a project or to address a specific skill gap, it may be better to find a contract worker or part-time employee. These individuals can come in and provide the assistance you need without adding too much financial stress.
Professional Staffing Agencies on the Rise
Because there is such a big talent shortage and employers are having to address more issues in the hiring process than ever before, more companies are utilizing the help of staffing agencies. Outsourcing hiring can help you, as an employer, focus on internal projects rather than getting tied up reviewing resumes. It can also help you improve the quality of your new hires significantly because you will have professional recruiters on your side.
Partnering with a staffing agency will also help your bottom line. You can have a tailored, set cost to your recruiting efforts. Your company pays a flat fee for recruiting services and the firm takes care of the rest. It keeps the cost and the time you spend sourcing new talent under control. Utilizing the help of professionals will also put you in touch with a wider range of talent. As mentioned above, Hire Level was in contact with hundreds of thousands of candidates last year. Those numbers are only expected to rise.
