SYS 012: Hiring The Right People Step 1.5 Create a Recruitment Funnel to Find the Perfect Person
In this episode of SYS Hiring the Right People, Steve talks about how you can create and use a recruitment funnel to find the right person for the right role in your business.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Using a recruitment funnel means you can cast your net wide and give yourself the best chance of finding the right person for your business. Doing it in a systemised way means you can whittle down and create a shortlist in a matter of minutes rather than spending wasted hours going through CVs and application forms.
- You don’t want to limit the amount of applications, you want everyone who wants to apply to apply. You can then adjust your criteria so you reduce it down to the amount of people you want to actually choose from. You can process as many people as you want when you use this technique as you can increase or lower the ‘bar’ depending on the calibre of applicants that apply.
- All questions on the form Steve creates are drop downs of tick boxes but he always includes one long form question, to ensure that the applicant can converse in written English to a standard he is happy with and can follow simple instructions.
