- EMPLOYEE RECRUITING
-
- When it comes to successful recruiting in today’s environment it is critical to fully define what skills and characteristics the perfect candidate should possess for your small business. We work very closely with you to identify your requirements.
Everyone is competing for the cream of the crop, that perfect candidate may not be readily available or may not be seeking new career opportunities. As such, it is smart to be diligent in the recruiting process. We are creative with recruitment strategies. For example, we encourage small businesses to expand internal recruitment efforts through an employee referral program. Some companies have even expanded referral programs to include customers, vendors and employee families. We are constantly networking within local businesses to identify good candidates.
We have fostered partnerships with universities and graduate schools to identify potential candidates more quickly. Another strategy is to network within professional associations for candidates.
Finally, we have established relationships with staffing firms. Doing so ensures communication with numerous recruiters that are knowledgeable enough to identify potential candidates.
- EMPLOYEE SCREENING PROCESS
Employee screening is a process in which a prospective employee is investigated to verify qualifications and confirm that the person would be a safe and appropriate match for the workplace. This screening can be performed by an external company, or it may be conducted by the potential employer. Many people who apply for jobs can expect some degree of employee screening to occur as part of the application process.
There are several goals to employee screening. The first is to confirm that an employee is actually qualified for the position. The second is to identify any potential safety risks, including threats to physical safety in the workplace and the security of data the employee might handle. Employee screening is also designed to spot personality traits which may be beneficial or problematic.
Companies which contract out employee screening services can select between a range of screening products. A screening company may conduct a criminal background check, test the applicant for drug use, perform a medical evaluation, and screen for competence. Companies which provide screening services can access public records which may provide relevant information about an employee's qualifications and trustworthiness. This information is packaged in a report which can be used when making hiring decisions.
Our objectives and goals during the recruiting and screening process have been to find potential employees that will "FIT" within your small business. At the end of the day, it is people working with people. There must be more to a employee than qualifications, talents and education. There must be mutual respect, trust, professionalism, like-minded thinking, and appreciation of business objectives.
Contact us today via email or phone. Let us help you recruit and screen potential employees that will be a "fit" for your small business. The Woodlands Marketing Group sincerely appreciate the opportunity to earn your business.
