When recruiting new employees, an organisation needs an efficient and effective hiring process to identify the best candidates possible for the job. Although recruiters follow different hiring processes, their goal is always the same—to find the right match!

Not sure how to go about it? Our Recruitment & HR team has established one hiring process you can follow to attract, select, and recruit suitable candidates.

Develop an Ideal Candidate Profile

First and foremost, you should spend some time developing the ideal candidate profile. One needs to consider what skills and requirements the position holds. This is a crucial step towards finding the right candidate for you.

Focus on the Candidate Experience

The hiring process should make the candidates want to work for you! Communicate effectively and try not to take too long when making decisions. Be as practical as possible and do not set unrealistic expectations.

Check Conversion Rates

This step means tracking the percentage of candidates that make it through the next stage of recruitment. The numbers will help guide you on whether you need to improve the candidate experience or not.

Interviewing

Try to offer as many time slots as possible, even outside regular working hours, to reach candidates currently employed elsewhere.

Reference Checking

While it is essential to reference check the top candidate, make sure to also keep in touch with your backup candidates, you never know what could happen.

Onboarding

Once you have picked the ideal candidate, do not forget to offer training, the required resources and mentorship. Do not let all the recruiters’ hard work go to waste!
