recruiters have been facing challenges in hiring since a long time due the
inadequacy of the recruitment methods. Taking newer approaches and improving
hiring strategies has shown be make a difference in today’s age where
technology is rapidly making advancements. For recruiters unsure of how to go
about with successful recruitment in the current time, here are a few hacks
that can help firms land up with the best candidates in the field today:
Don’t put the candidates in a box
More often
than not, IT professionals are considered to be nerdy who have certain common
interests such as gaming and other hobbies. Putting them in a box can backfire.
When candidates come over for an interview, it is best to get to know these
candidates well before you pop the question about which games they prefer over
others. Since candidates judge the company as much as you scrutinise them,
giving them an impression that they do not fit within the culture traditionally
followed within your firm can lead to you losing out on the candidate.
Take a creative approach
The
internet has changed the way we function to a great extent. Using social media
platforms as a resource pool can work in your favour, especially with majority
of the IT professionals actively using these platforms. Sourcing candidates
through sites made especially for IT professionals is a better approach to
hiring. Along with these, using HR analytics software for IT recruitments
through the right use of data is yet another approach that can help you find
the ideal candidates for IT firms.
Maintain contact with the IT professionals within your circle
Staying in
touch with the IT professionals you have already established relations with is
a great way to find out the current trends in the field. Sourcing candidates
also becomes easier when these professionals within your circle give their referrals
of candidates that fit the mould that your firm has in mind. You can also rely
on them to help you screen potential candidates if you need the opinion of an
IT expert before sending the candidate to the next level of screening.
Join IT groups on social media
IT
professionals who love what they do and are passionate about their work will
always have the eagerness to learn something new. Finding them on the many IT
groups on social media and other platforms wouldn’t be a hard task. By being a
part of such groups, you can come across numerous potential candidates who are
likely to be great assets to the firms you are recruiting for. As an IT recruiter, this is one of the
quickest ways you can source a candidate for recruitment.
Using recruitment technology right is the
greatest way to source candidates with the help of data and analytics. And with
these hacks in tow, you are sure to find candidates worth the time spent and
the cost per hire.
