When it’s time to fill critical positions at your company, you not only need the right staffing solutions – you need the solutions that are right for you. Your business is unique, so a cookie-cutter approach to talent acquisition isn’t enough.
As you explore your options for partnering with a staffing firm, you need:
A Client-Centric Focus
There are two parties involved in every successful recruitment effort: you, of course. And also the candidates you are sourcing. The right staffing approach is based on transparency and ongoing, open communication with both. Look for a staffing partner who:
- Fully grasps the intricacies of your company and its culture, as well as the specific traits you seek in potential hires. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula.
- Keeps candidates informed throughout your hiring process. Change happens, and glitches may inevitably occur. But as long as potential hires are kept in the loop, relationships will flourish and trust will solidify. This should start with initial candidate assessments and not miss a beat throughout interviews, final selection, and even communication with those you don’t wind up hiring – so you can keep those relationships strong for future eventualities.
Industry-Specific Expertise
You need a partner who not only has cutting-edge staffing expertise, but also knows the ins and outs and can speak the language of your specific industry. This is critical for keeping a sharp competitive edge in today’s tight talent marketplace.
Efficiency
Speed is the name of the game when you need to fill a key vacancy – but not at the risk of cutting important corners. Glossing over steps like background and reference checks may be tempting to meet current hiring targets, but can come back to haunt you if a hire goes bad. Seek out a staffing partner who offers a rigorous yet efficient screening and evaluation process and can quickly zero in on candidates who closely match your job requirements and culture.
Personal Connections
While technology has transformed the staffing industry in amazing and highly beneficial ways, the human touch remains irreplaceable. Tailored staffing means the professionals involved have experience, intuition, and an understanding of and commitment to your community.
- This involves building personal connections with both companies and candidates – taking the time to understand and find common goals, objectives, motivations and aspirations. This is the best way to help ensure a perfect fit and a long-lasting commitment.
Future Proofing
It’s not just about today, but also about your long-term future success. Make sure your staffing partner is committed to building a lasting relationship and resources to continually help you maximize the potential of your current workforce, no matter what it looks like.
