No matter where you live, there's no escaping that feeling of being "snowed under" when work has piled up.
In any industry, this can happen in the blink of an eye during business recovery as hiring is ramped up. Certain job postings can bring floods of literally hundreds of resumes.
If this happens to you, don't be tempted to skimp on the most important elements of recruiting strategy best practices:
Define the job: What specifically will this position be expected to do? How much risk-taking, cautiousness, creativity and compliance will be required? How will success be measured?
Gather good data: Don't rely on a resume alone to tell you whether a candidate can do the work and is motivated to do so. Gather good data - and save time - by getting answers to key questions early in the process. The importance of motivation cannot be overstated. Use valid, reliable hiring assessments that are quick and easy for candidates to complete, preferably online.
Build your employer brand: Ensure each candidate's experience reflects positively on your company. Tell candidates when they will hear back from you. Say "thank you!"
