…they’re racing speed.

Speed of the marketSpeed of candidate’s expectationsSpeed of change

How can your company win the race?

There are 4 main tactics

1) Don’t drag your feet

You’re a busy person. Candidates and recruiters are pestering

you.If the candidate wants to the job they’ll

wait,right?

Wrong.

Your recruiter is bugging you for a reason.

They know you’ve got a desirable candidate and don’t want you to miss out.Let them help you win the race.

You need to make candidates feel wanted and enthusiastic.

There are plenty of others who will.

• Make time sooner rather than later

• Be eager to hire

• Remember that interviewing is as much them sizing you up

Tips:

2) Don’t think the grass is greener

Sometimes, the first candidate you see is the best.It happens.

Don’t let that make you think they are the first of a stream of better and better candidates.

Benchmarking is important,but don’t let it take the focus.

You won’t be the only one who wants to hire that candidate, so don’t miss out for process-sake.

• Be decisive – know who you want quickly

• Don’t keep asking for more

• Keep benchmarking to a minimum

Tips:

3) Don’t keep quiet

There are times when you will have to move slowly,getting through red tape.

But don’t stick your head in the sand.

Candidates will either move on, or they’ll feel deflated.

Communication is key.

• Give a timetable

• Keep the flow of information – any news is good news

• Help candidates feel the love

Tips:

4) Do be flexible

Even if you’ve run a speedy process, it can all break down in negotiation.

If you won’t compete with the benefits offered by competitors, then you’ll fall behind in the race for talent.

Big corporations can afford a travel allowance or a few extra days holiday.Seriously.

Even if you’re small, you can make non-financial offers – working from home or a conditional bonus.

Tips:

• Compromise

• Think about the bigger race

• Convince the candidate you’re an amazing place to work

Your customers want everything yesterday, and your candidates are no different.

They want to work for ambitious, fast-moving companies, and will be put off by a dragging recruitment process.

So stretch your legs and put your trainers on…

…we’ll see you track side.
