THE HARD-TO-FILL REQ'S* CHALLENGE

"they aren't answering our ads!"" "the applicants we are receiving aren't qualied"" "our referral program is not working fast enough" *Req - Abbreviation for job requisition

COMMONLY USED SOLUTIONS


MODIFY THE JOB POSTINGS"

This can be an effective tool in improving the results in attracting the right type of candidate." The job should be edited and reposted multiple times if the desired results are not achieved."

I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine. Emily Dickinson"
!

Warning: Changing the posting may only produce minimal results because the candidates you want don't see the job posting.

COMMONLY USED SOLUTIONS


POST THE JOBS IN MORE PLACES"

This can help if you have your posting can be advertised on job boards where potential candidates will see it." Think beyond traditional places where your rm is advertising based on the type of candidate desired."

"I skate where the puck is going, not where it has been." Wayne Gretzky"
!

Outcome: Posting the job may only have minimal effects because the candidates you may want aren't actively looking

COMMONLY USED SOLUTIONS


EVALUATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS"

Specialized search rms properly matched to the right req are generally more effective because of their focus on the niche's recruiting market." Contingency and/or stafng rms will have more incentive and resources to work on req's within their niche. Evaluating and categorizing agencies by specialty can improve results." Retained search can also be highly effective, however it requires substantial commitments and investment on the part of the client, so choosing a rm is more involved."

! Should you nd yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks. " ! Warren Buffett" !
Outcome: Improved results can be experienced with having only 1 or 2 specialized agencies on any given req. Less is more. There is a lack of pricing options at many rms for multiple req's, so count the cost of potential fees during the current cycle when deciding which req's can accept outside assistance.

BETTER SOLUTIONS HAVE EMERGED


OUR FIRM UNDERSTANDS AND ARE HERE TO HELP"

Traditional contingency and retained search options are still compelling and appropriate in certain situations, however additional options are now available:" A. Contract recruiters - can be very effective if you get a superstar, however it is hit and miss because the results vary greatly depending on the recruiter and your available resources" B. RPO (recruitment process outsourcing) - a very compelling option for large organizations or positions that are less specialized, however involves greater commitment organizationally and economically than other options" C. HR Consulting - they generally advise, but are not responsible for results" D. HR Maximizer - you can get A, B, and C wrapped into one"
