KEY TAKEAWAYS
\\n- \\n
- One of the hardest things when running a business is recruiting new staff. When we look through CV’s we look for people whose values like up with ours and the majority of the time they don’t. \\n
- Most of the time we only get quality CV’s when we are least in need, looking for or expect them. \\n
- Always have the same level of focus on recruiting whether you need that person or you don’t. Always have your job advertisements out there. \\n
- Always recruiting keeps your staff on high alert and gets rid of the thought that they’re irreplaceable if they don’t perform. \\n
- \\n
- Always have 2, 3 or more adverts on the recruiting websites and build on the bank of quality CV’s. \\n
- Always speak to the candidates. Give them a call and build that relationship with them. More importantly be honest with them. \\n
- Always follow up from interviews or phone calls to the top 3 or 4 candidates to give them feedback. \\n
- Once you’ve build a good relationship and connection with candidates, the more likely they are to say yes to the job if you require them or a job vacancy opens up. \\n
- There’s nothing wrong with sending a follow up email even if it’s months after you last spoke to that candidate. Stay in touch with them and be consistent. \\n
