Recycling Workforce Issues

Anyone who spends an extended amount of time looking for the right employees knows technology can be a real lifesaver. In the internet age, you can post a job to numerous job boards around with world with just one click. You can also screen your prospective employees more efficiently. However, for all the bells and whistles associated with automation and technology, there are just some things a human being can do better. Using the human element to help your recruiting process can make a big difference.  We recommend you consider adding the caring human element to your recruiting process, here are some benefits you may end up reaping.

Establishing Professional Bonds

In today’s job market, it is important to quickly establish a relationship with prospective hires, especially the ones with highly desirable skills. Studies show people want to work for companies they can trust and feel comfortable with, and if you want workers to trust you, a face-to-face meeting may be best. Personal phone calls and meetings also require the human element as well. Simply put, computers and algorithms cannot build a professional bond.

More Effective Screening

Let’s face it – screening candidates takes time, and nothing is more frustrating than having to read hundreds of applications from dozens of unqualified prospects. Career websites use a complex algorithm to screen employees for you, but it isn’t as effective as having a human being view and take note of each resume. By having another person help you review the resumes, you will be more likely to narrow the list of candidates down to the most qualified applications.

The Value of Networking

Nothing beats a good professional network, and often the only way to find qualified applicants is through word of mouth. Social Networking can only go so far, and it can be difficult to find suitable applicants, especially for a job that requires highly specialized skills. By speaking with other recruiting professionals in the same industry, you may be able to locate the ideal candidate for a job.
