Our recruiters at GCS Malta, are here to provide insightful tips on managing stress that will not interrupt your focus when on the hunt for hot talent.  

• Be on the lookout for talent. 

Talent is everywhere; all you need to do is look closely. Do not only search for talent why you have an open vacancy but do look casually even when all your positions are filled. It will enable you to spot the right candidate when the time is right. Don’t limit yourself to finding new talent through the application process. Instead, find other means. Events, conferences, social media and recommendations from colleagues and friends are great ways to stay alert of new talent. Recruitment should never end but instead, be an ongoing process.  

• Effective interview practices. 

It’s essential to adopt effective interview practices for your process. Relying only on gut feeling can lead to biased decisions. Start by finding effective methods to screen candidates’ talent that fit the role and the company’s culture. Rope in your HR colleagues’ advice to set an ideal standard of skills, performance, and characteristics. Having pre-defines objectives will help minimize stress as you can screen out talent that does not fit the criteria beforehand.  

• Develop leaders. 

Team members look up to their leaders. Your most significant power is the potential to develop competent leaders, who cultivate and motivate leaders themselves. Show interest and help individuals to become the best leader they can. Your team members will benefit from great leaders and propel your organization forward, which will lessen your stress in the recruitment process.  

• Motivate and mobilize. 

It is very common for individuals to lose motivation in their roles, which is a common stress factor. Being a good leader means you understand and help your workforce overcome this hurdle. Make sure they have all the resources possible to do their best work. Compliment a job well done, help them develop new skills and challenge them by creating purposeful work. Before aiding your employees with their stress, make sure yours is under control if not, it will spiral to more outstanding issues.
