Are vacant positions holding your company back? With the average time to hire getting slower each year, what can you do to combat it? Here are 8 areas to check against your process, are there any improvement opportunities? WRITE ACCURATE JOB DESCRIPTIONS. Creating job descriptions that accurately reflect the role and requirements is key to attracting the right candidates. Detailed descriptions of daily duties help attract qualified candidates and streamline the screening process BE SPECIFIC ABOUT JOB PERKS AND THE HIRING PROCESS. Clarity about job benefits is crucial. Beyond what is expected from candidates, outline the perks: e.g. enhanced paternity leave, health benefits, extended holiday allowances, or volunteering days. Being clear about benefits can make the new role stand out from the crowd. HIGHLIGHT WORKING ARRANGEMENTS. Be clear about working arrangements. Whether your company offers flexible hours, hybrid working, or remote options, specify expectations. Detailed working arrangements attract suitable candidates that may drop out at later stages. APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEM (ATS). Speed up your hiring process with a robust Applicant Tracking System (ATS). An ATS tracks the candidate's journey from application to job offer acceptance in a centralized system, giving you clear visibility to monitor and improve. IMPROVE CROSS-TEAM COLLABORATION. Efficiently fill job openings by fostering cross-department collaboration. Agile recruitment processes encourage teamwork between HR, hiring managers, other departments, and recruitment partners. Streamlining communication and decision-making reduces the overall time to hire, saving time and money. SIMPLIFY THE CANDIDATE SCREENING AND INTERVIEW PROCESS. Re-evaluate your hiring process to ensure it's not too long or complicated. Mapping out the process can identify bottlenecks and ensure everyone knows their role in the timeline, making the process smoother and faster. KEEP CANDIDATES WELL-INFORMED AND ENGAGED. Maintain timely communication with candidates throughout the hiring process. Keeping candidates informed and engaged builds trust and prevents re-work from top talent losing interest and leaving the process. NEGOTIATE EFFECTIVELY. Once you find the ideal candidate, act quickly to negotiate and finalise the offer. Delays in extending and negotiating offers can lead to candidates accepting other opportunities.
