Despite this, recruitment is the weak point of many companies as they are not aware of new innovative methods. Therefore, in this article we will explain how to carry out a proper recruitment and selection process.
Each company may carry out the recruitment process differently, however, there are some phases that must be common in order to develop the activity optimally.
1. Identify your company’s needs
When you consider hiring a new employee, it is because there is a need in your organization that you want to satisfy: strengthen an area, an activity, a process, etc. For this reason, recruitment experts will need to carry out an analysis on a regular basis to be able to anticipate these needs.
Once you have identified the needs you want to cover, you must detail the skills that are needed to be able to perform the position, with the intention of contrasting them with the candidates.
These competencies should not only focus on studies, but also on knowledge, experience, skills, abilities, values, aptitudes and attitudes.
To contrast the profile you have created with the candidates, you can choose to search:
Some forms of recruitment that you can use are: gamification, social recruiting, inbound recruiting and collaborative recruitment.
The evaluation phase is one of the most decisive since it verifies whether or not the candidates have the necessary skills for the position.
We recommend that you include psychological and technical tests and competency-based assessments that will help you decide whether or not the candidate is suitable for the required position.
The interview is the most important phase of the recruitment process. In it, recruitment specialists will see the candidate face to face either in person or virtually and will be able to check if the attitudes, values and characteristics necessary to fill the position are met.
This is the most complex part of the process, especially if you have multiple candidates who fit the position. If, on the other hand, none of them fit you, you can go through the process again from the third phase.
If several candidates are ideal, opt for the one that is most linked to the needs of the company and keep the resumes of those profiles that you have liked, this time you may not need them, but in the future they can be useful to you.
Hiring is also part of the recruitment process. In this phase, you must inform the candidate of the decision and expand the information about the company. This way the candidate can join your organization.
In this phase you should show the new employee the workspaces, introduce them to their new colleagues, explain the company’s culture and give them the company’s manual so that they can start performing their functions in the best possible way.
This is the last phase and consists of evaluating the candidate’s adaptation, performance and knowledge of the position they hold and, of course, knowing how they feel about their new job.
Now that you know how important it is to carry out a good recruitment process, do not hesitate to seek help if you think you need it. In UR Global you will find the best recruitment and selection experts in the market. We find your ideal candidate!
