In today's marketplace things are constantly changing and so are
the needs of just about each and every organization. Whether
your company is growing organically or inorganically, whether
your company is growing domestically or internationally or for
one reason or another you just have pain, your organization must
be in a position to attract top talent and attract it quickly!
But attracting it is only the first part of the equation. The
bigger problem is what you do once you attract talent to your
organization.
Stop for one second and think about what you have going on, how
crazy your day is and what you think can be put off. More than
likely you have multiple positions you are recruiting for. You
may be using an outside agency to assist you or are doing it all
in-house. In either case, all too often a good candidate is lost
due to the time it takes to get them through the screening and
interviewing process.
Think back and try to remember how long it took you to make your
last hire and what it cost you to do so. Let's eliminate the
process of getting the resume, which is a difficult and timely
task in itself. Focus solely on the amount of time it took to do
an initial screening of the candidate and you were in a position
to make an offer. In a perfect world, the process should take no
longer than 30 days...45 days max. Unfortunately, it is very
rarely happening in 45 days anymore and you are paying for it in
a lot of ways. The biggest hit... you end up losing an A+
candidate to a competitor. Why? Don't kid yourself into
believing they are not interviewing elsewhere! In the recruiting
business, TIME KILLS ALL DEALS!
Since I think we can all agree that time is not on our side, The
SearchLogix Group has begun to offer what we call the
"Escalating Fee Agreement". It was designed to reward
organizations that keep the process moving once a resume has
been received. Our partners are benefiting in a number of ways:
1. A focused and disciplined search process 2. A discounted fee
3. They get the most talented individual and avoid having to
revert to the "2nd choice"
Call us today at 770-517-2660 to see how you can benefit from
partnering with The SearchLogix Group.
