Whether you’re looking for a new job or you’re looking to hire for a job, it can be hard to keep track of all the steps you should take to do so effectively.
Well, Recruiting in Motion is here to give you a hand!
Here are the ultimate checklists for a successful job search and/or hunt for a new employee.
Job Search
⌧ Think about what you want your new role to look like – tasks involved, salary and company culture
⌧ Make a list of companies that align with your desired career objectives
⌧ Continue to check online job postings and social media sites for open positions
⌧ Connect with your personal contacts in your desired field to tap into the hidden job market
⌧ Seek out and take advantage of any potential networking opportunities
⌧ Make sure your LinkedIn/social media profiles are up to date and professional
⌧ Keep your resume up to date and customize your resume for each individual job for which you’re applying
⌧ Before an interview, research the company and think of a few questions to ask about the role and/or the organization
⌧ REMEMBER: A curated, specific job search is more effective than sending applications to every job you see online
Hiring Talent
⌧ Develop a thorough list of tasks involved in the available position, and the skills and experience a candidate requires to successfully take it on
⌧ Establish a comfortable budget for the position
⌧ Find an expert recruiter to help move forward your hiring process
⌧ Work with a recruiter to establish a good plan to find the right candidate(s) for the position
⌧ Think about the candidate you want to attract and post your job in the right place that attracts your desired candidates
⌧ Take the time to develop a list of interview questions that allow you to effectively evaluate each candidate and include questions about them personally and their relevant experience
⌧ Work with your team to establish any required portfolio pieces or knowledge tests required for the position, and include additional colleagues who should be involved in the interview process
⌧ REMEMBER: Above and beyond the skills and job experience of a candidate, think about finding the best candidate that fits into your company’s culture
