Make sure your employees understand the value of their work.

Not all work is enjoyable, but it can be made more so if you frame it in the right way. Many people probably wouldn’t enjoy being a garbage collector, but when you point out all the good they do – keeping recycling out of landfills, keeping residential neighborhoods clean and free of the germs of decomposing waste – it seems like a more noble effort. Find the good in the jobs your employees do, and make sure you communicate their value so they know how they’re contributing.

Celebrate your employees’ accomplishments.

Nothing creates cheer and goodwill like marking important milestones. Employment anniversaries, meeting sales targets, completing big projects, and even employees’ birthdays are all cause for celebration. Whether it’s something small, like cake in the break room, or a bigger gesture, like catered lunch in the office, find a way to celebrate accomplishments. Your staff will greatly appreciate you recognizing their accomplishments, and it can help to keep them motivated and dedicated to their positions.

Take responsibility for one difficult task.

Chances are that there’s one task in the office that everyone hates to do. While every office is different, these tasks can span from tracking vacation days, dealing with a demanding client, or even trying to coax a pot of coffee out of a temperamental coffee maker. If you are able to occasionally step up for your team by taking responsibility for the most unpleasant task, and you’ll be able to hear the collective sigh of relief in the office. If you are unable to help handle the difficult task, look for ways to make it easier on your employees to complete the task, such as a change in process or additional training.

Make a list of what you need.

Remember the lesson in grade school about the difference between needs and wants? This is a great time to revisit that. If you’re hiring for an information technology position, for example, you need someone who can read and write code. You probably don’t need someone who can assist your sales team and attend sales meetings. Take a good look at your wish list and cross off the things that are just wants, because they’re making your hiring harder.

Rewrite your job listing.

Now that you’ve taken a good look at what the real requirements of your open position are, use this knowledge to rewrite your job posting. Asking for too much will scare good candidates away. If they see they need three years of experience and they only have one, they will close your website and move on to the next company. Resist the temptation to pad your job listing with jargon like “detail-oriented” and “team player,” and instead stick to the facts. During the interview process you will be able to identify candidates with these competencies, so it isn’t necessary to include it as a part of the job description.

Consider hiring someone less experienced.

You may feel you need someone with five to ten years of work experience, but unless you’re hiring for a senior position, you can usually train someone less experienced. Rather than holding out for a perfectly qualified candidate, you can hire a competent person and put them to work right away, training them as they go. Hiring someone less experienced will also save you money, as you can adjust their salary to their skill level.

Do you need more help with your hiring process? At Contemporary Staffing Solutions, we have staffing specialists that can work with your company to find you a great new employee from our pool of qualified candidates. Get in touch with us today!

It stresses your current employees.

Trying to juggle an amount of work meant for a larger staff can put a great deal of stress on your employees. Stress can lead to employee burnout, which often causes people to consider turning in their resignations. If this happens, not only will you have to find and hire replacements, but you will also have to deal with an even smaller staff until you can get your new employees trained.

It makes it harder to achieve goals.

If there’s a technical project you want to launch or an app you want to create, you need man-hours, which are a limited resource that directly correlate to the number of your employees. If you’re on a tight timeline and you have your small staff work overtime, that can get very costly very quickly. In the long run, it’s often more cost effective to just hire additional staff to help you meet your deadlines. Many companies will look to temporary or contract IT professionals to help fill their staffing shortage. While the additional staff will impact your bottom line, it is often much cheaper than paying overtime wages.

It stunts your growth as a company.

You need adequate resources to continue growing your business, and there’s no way around that. This is especially important for your IT department, because information technology skills are critical in today’s business environment. From security to communications to customer service, IT backs up critical areas that you need in place to be able to set bigger goals and work to achieving them.

Is your small IT department holding your company back from achieving its full potential? Contact an IT staffing specialist at Contemporary Staffing Solutions to find the right highly trained technical candidates to add to your team.

Faster Time to Hire

Time is money and hiring new employees takes a lot of both. From sourcing candidates to screening resumes to conducting interviews and negotiating offers, acquiring a new employee burdens your internal resources.  And every day a job requisition remains unfilled, you’re wasting recruiting and budgetary resources that could be dedicated to other initiatives. Outsourcing all or part of your internal recruitment function can reduce your time to hire dramatically by giving you access to:

• A global database of screened, skilled professionals and sourcing channels that both significantly increase your talent pipeline.
• A dedicated staff of recruiting and screening professionals who can scale their volume of work with the requisition load.
• The ability to focus on final hiring decisions while leaving the less strategic administrative duties to your RPO partner.

Streamlined Recruitment Processes

How is the recruitment lifecycle at your company? Is it smooth and coordinated, or disjointed and uncoordinated? Is it consistent across organizational functions, departments, divisions and regions? If not, you may be experiencing overlap in advertising purchases and in training and onboarding procedures, as well as poorer hiring decisions and ultimately higher operational costs.

Establishing an RPO relationship gives you the opportunity to re-examine your recruitment process workflow(s) to determine where overlap, excessive cost and inefficient practices may exist. Then the RPO can help you create an outsourced model that will provide you with service levels and success metrics that exceed the status quo.

The result? Increased efficiency and satisfaction with the recruitment lifecycle, resulting in overall cost reduction for your company.

Reducing Cost

Have you ever experienced a business downturn, when recruiting needs drop abruptly? Or, have your company’s recruiting needs ever suddenly spiked due to its expanding into another product category or region of the world? Either option can be burdensome and costly. Outsourcing the recruitment function allows a company to share the cost risk of managing those resources to a business partner. RPO specialists know how to adjust resource levels to accommodate hiring fluctuations, so you won’t bear the burden of carrying unnecessary staff or being shorthanded when greater resources are required.

Apply to as many jobs as you can find.

Quantity doesn’t equal quality. Unfortunately, many individuals believe that that more positions you apply to, the higher your chances are of securing a position. However, employers are looking for the most-qualified candidate for the position, so if your skills and background do not align with the position needs, you will be removed from a candidate pool. Instead, find jobs that you are qualified for and are in line with your career path. By focusing on a few positions at a time, it allows you to pay attention to the details.

You need to be 100% qualified to apply.

In truth, there are very few people who possess every single skill or quality highlighted in a job posting. Don’t be afraid to apply for a position if you don’t tick every item on the employer’s wish list. If you possess the majority of what they’re looking for, go ahead and send in an application.

You only need one resume.

Your resume should be fluid. You should edit your resume so it fits the position you’re applying for. It doesn’t need to be a completely unique document, but you should tailor your objective, work history, and skills to highlight the ones that the company is looking for. By customizing your resume for each position, you will be able to highlight your core competencies as they relate to the position’s requirements.

Include your entire career history.

If you are seasoned career professional, including your entire work history is unnecessary. For example, including the part-time jobs you had in high school are not relevant to your job search. Keep your resume’s work history pared down to positions that are most recent or relevant in your career. However, if you’ve held a number of positions that are relevant but don’t want them included on your resume, consider including them in your LinkedIn profile.

Wading through all of the good and bad job-seeker advice can be a challenge. To receive help in your job search, consider contacting the recruiting specialists at Contemporary Staffing Solutions for help with your search. We can help you find the perfect position for where you are in your career!
