Why is recruiting so important?

Why recruitment is a particularly demanding process
attention?

In order to understand the answer to the question, we must first ask at what stage is the development of the company? In the earlier stages, companies want the most capable and qualified employees possible to lay the foundations for stable and sustainable development.
For this and every single interview presents the company to potential employees. When we are looking for a suitable candidate, we do not start from the “perfect employee” model such as knowledge, skills and experience, but to the one who will join and fit best in this stage of business development. Which will lead to efficient work and success for the entire organization.

 

Something to keep in mind: In order for an employee to be motivated to perform tasks and commitments, a match between the requirements of the candidate, his qualities, capabilities and conditions and the additional training that can develop his abilities and competencies is necessary.

In the selection process, we aim to predict and evaluate the candidate’s future capabilities and realization in the team. What will change after his hiring, will he fit into the team, will he find opportunities for personal development, will he achieve the company’s goals, will he strive for organizational growth or will he go with the flow.
It is for this reason that when we evaluate candidates we use different interview formats to find out if this candidate can fit the profile of the organization he is applying for.

For this purpose, we conduct different types of interviews and apply different techniques, according to the requirements of the position and its complexity.

In order to be able to determine to what extent there is an adequate match between the profile of the client and the candidates, we compare and evaluate the following characteristics:

  • Professionalism – the level of professionalism of the candidate is assessed;
  • Confidentiality – applies to the applicant and the applicant company;
  • Equality – use of templates for the purpose of unification of the required documents;
  • Non-discrimination – regardless of gender, age, religious beliefs and ethnicity;
  • Openness – applies to the applicant and the applicant company;
  • Mediation – mediation between the interests of the employer and the interests of the candidate;
  • Flexibility – reaction to unforeseen situations, change of some processes “at hoc”, etc. – for companies and when selecting and rejecting a candidate, not appearing for an interview, etc. – for the candidates;
  • Short-term – efficiency in short terms;
  • Documentation and authenticity – record and store the applicant’s documents and the protocol with the analysis of his performance during the selection.

The labor market increasingly directs organizations to search for candidates from pre-selected lists of characteristics at a specific moment and as soon as possible. Why? Because replacing one employee costs companies from 70 to 200% of the value of his salary.

When an employee leaves, it brings with it direct (quantifiable) and indirect (hidden) values ​​that are not obvious, but are potentially much more dangerous to the organization – leading to decreased satisfaction within the team. Some employees have to cover and take over part of the duties until a new employee is found; this also reflects on customer satisfaction, loss of valuable knowledge and expertise, change and the need to adapt new work processes until a new employee is found to fill the vacant position.

First meeting with the candidate or what is a CV?

The first impressions are created with the CV, the personal meeting only confirms or rejects them

You have felt that time has come for change and you leave your current job. No matter whether you want to develop, or you have not got along with your last employer, switching to new workplace is an integral part of your growing up as a person and a professional.

The time has come to re-fill your CV with up-to-date information. In this article we will give you some guidelines on how to improve your CV so you can make a good first impression. At the beginning of each CV is a well-known part with basic information: your three names, domicile, citizenship, date and year of birth, and your contacts: phone number and email.

You can add other ways employers can contact you, such as Skype name or other platform. Be outside the box, especially if you are applying for a more creative position. Present yourself with one or two sentences before the basic information about you.

Once you have provided the basic information about yourself, you should fill your education and qualifications. Fill in these fields correctly. Specify what disciplines you were studying at the university. Fill in what additional courses you have taken in addition to the qualifications already acquired or other additional courses.

Your experience is crucial in choosing whether you will be invited to an interview or not. Carefully describe your past experience with previous jobs. What was your assignment to this job position, what your responsibilities were, what results you achieved. Everything about your work experience is a must.

Tips & Warnings: When formatting your CV, choose readable fonts and avoid non-standard fonts. Synthesize the most important information. You can afford to specify in the cover letter in more detail.

Upon leaving your workplace, ask your former employer for a recommendation. Let someone talk about your work in an objective way, thus:

  1. You show that you have maintained a good relationship with your previous employer.
  2. The assessment of your competencies and experience is objective and the chance of exaggerating some of your qualities decreases.

 

The objective assessment by a third party would help the recruitment agent evaluate you. Leave the contacts of your previous employer on the recommendation. So the interviewer himself can ask additional questions about your performance and successful projects.

In section interests, hobbies and others, describe the things you like to do and how they help you unload and be more focused and productive.

Your skills and competencies are those that impress the employer. Identify them correctly by rating them on a scale that matches national or international standardization.

If the position requires a cover letter – write and submit. You can read more about the motivation letter in our article: “The cover letter and why it is so important in the job application
