The executive search firms in India are entrusted with the task of
finding the right candidates for their clients. However, the task of finding
the talented candidates is equally challenging and tiring. Here are the top
strategies that the Executive search firm implements for the purpose of
attracting the right talent and stay competitive. Read further:
1.
Innovative Ways
To Find New Talent
The executive recruiters make it a
point to identify at least one new and creative way for finding candidates on a
quarterly basis. This can be done by probing the candidates on the avenues they
search at the time of seeking a job opportunity. This way the new talent gets
recognised and the hiring panel doesn't get to see the same set of candidates.
For this purpose, use your networking skills to build the top talent.
2.
Learn What
The Candidates Have In Their Mind
Read the publications, social media
posts and blogs which are frequently read by the candidates seeking a job
opportunity. This way you can learn a lot of industry and the candidates that
are present for that niche. If possible, consider taking opportunities for
interaction with the candidates to learn what they want and how you can find a
good job position for them.
3.
Arrange More
Than 1 Interview
With the advent of technology,
scheduling interviews between the client company and the candidate has become
easy. Make efforts to send one candidate to more than two job interviews at one
go. For this purpose, take a feedback from the candidates about the companies
they wish to go for and arrange interviews with 2-3 such companies as per their
preference and job requirement of the client. This way, you can give a spectrum
of choices to the candidates.
4.
Make Calls
To The Past Employers Of The Candidates
If a company replaces an employee
or an employee quits an organisation, the company seeks to hire an individual
who has the same set of skills, expertise and experience. The recruiter company
can help finding the right talent for the company and the right organisation
for the candidate. This is the sure shot way to increase the flow of candidates
and the client companies.
5.
Use Referral
Program
The word of mouth publicity is
considered as the best. When it comes to placing the right candidates in the
right job positions, the referrals from the candidates and the clients can play
wonder for the executive search company. Over the span of time, more than 50%
of the company's business will be on account of referrals, such is the power of
the referral program.
