We’re already in the final month of the year. Should you already be preparing for next year? Of course you should!
To help us do just that, we’ve enlisted the help of recruitment trainer Jon Bartos of trustaff Solutions. According to Bartos, there are three steps to help recruiters prepare for the coming year:
Step #1—Take a good, hard look at the processes on your desk.
The effectiveness of those processes will ultimately determine how successful you are next year.
“Recruiters really have to fine-tune their processes,” said Bartos. “They have to fine-tune their sourcing process, their recruiting process, every process they have. They should evaluate what worked this year and what didn’t work.”
Step #2—Improve your skills.
The status quo just won’t cut it, especially in this economy.
“Recruiters should identify and acquire the skill sets they need,” said Bartos. “They should invest in the appropriate training and work toward improving themselves. They need to evaluate themselves and get better at what they’re doing.”
Step #3—Set realistic goals.
“Recruiters need to determine what they want to achieve and what they’re willing to achieve,” said Bartos. “This is a different marketplace than it was five or six years ago. It’s a little better than it was a year and a half ago, but it’s still not what it was.”
