Recruitment – a broken system – what’s the solution??
While AI and ATS systems are useful and have their place in recruitment, it is vital for anyone in talent to remember that recruitment is about people. Keep it simple!!! If you are not talking to, connecting with, building relationships with people in the job market, you will miss out on the best talent. Job portals are not working and companies are getting a very bad reputation for not caring about the candidate journey. The current recruitment system is broken… ask anyone in the job market and they will agree.
Companies advertise a job online and hundreds of people apply. AI, ATS systems and junior HR staff are responsible for shortlisting, even at C -Suite level. Companies think that sending out an automated response is enough. It’s not good enough if you’re trying to attract talent. You could be missing out of an ideal candidate due to a key word missing in their cv.
What’s the solution??? There are two answers to your recruitment needs:
- Head hunting: you cannot rely on cvs coming in from a job ad, to find the best talent for your company / role. If you’re not head hunting or using a head hunter, you will not attract the best talent to your business.
- Reverse Recruitment: Senior to director level recruitment is expensive. Reverse Recruitment is the answer. We are building a data base of pre-screened, pre-qualified senior level talent. All of their documentation is ready to go and you can even view a video clip along with their cv. All available at a reduced placement fee. It’s a cost effective, time saving solution to any of your senior to director level recruitment needs.
