Staff Recruitment
About Staff Recruitment
Leaders Network offers Staff Recruitment as a service. We follow all the basic processes of identifying, attracting, interviewing, selecting, hiring, and onboarding employees. This makes us to hire the best and most appropriate staff for the positions required.
Advertisement and Application Stage
In the application stage, Leaders Network places adverts in major Social Media sites and employment seeking sites. We also have a pool of our resource staff working where we give them opportunities to suggest names of qualified friends or associates who may be interested in the position. One of our strong points starts with the building of our application forms where we normally add two or three questions relevant to each position which the candidates must answer in order to apply. Some of these questions could require simple Yes / No answers with the wrong answer automatically disqualifying a candidate.
Resume screening
After completing the application phase of the employee selection process, we now go to collection of resumes or CVs to sift through and filter those deemed suitable for a screening call.
At this stage we tabulate skills in an excel format with the various experiences of the candidates listed. This will make us to be able to match the requirements of the company with the individual qualifications of the candidates. Our software-assisted method is programmed to identify prime candidates with the requisite experience and qualification.
On many occasion, there may be hundreds or thousands of applicants for a single job and this method proves the best.
For example:
- If you're looking to fill a banking position, someone with a banking degree yet with little to no practical work experience might be suitable for a junior-level position.
- If you're looking for an insurance officer, someone who has already worked at several reputable insurance companies may be a good fit for top positions.
Screening call
When we have zeroed down to shortlisted applicants, we place calls to these people. The purpose of this call is to establish whether the candidate is truly interested in the job and (at least) minimally qualified to do it successfully.
Skill Assessment test
Based on the responses we have, we then sort the application into 3 categories namely "promising", "maybe", and "disqualified" groups. We then send a Skill Assessment Online test which is aptitude in nature to the Promising and Maybe groups.
In-person interviewing
Successful applicants from the Skilled Assessment test are invited for a face to face interview and if it is a Remote job, we can have interview on Video conferencing software which are cloud-based platforms that allows users to connect for video meetings, webinars, and live chat.
Background checks
Leaders Network go ahead to reassure our clients by conducting background checks on the candidates we shortlist to make sure that they are reliable and don't pose risks to the company.
Reference checks
The final stages of the selection process is to check up on the references candidates put down on their form. In this way we will get feedback about their performance from people they have actually worked with in the past.
Decision and job offer
After getting the required candidate, we give them an offer. We first call them to give them the good news and discuss employment terms.
Resumption
In preparing time for the employee's arrival, we do the following:
- We send them a welcome email to get them excited and plan their first day for a smooth onboarding.
- We also inform rejected candidates that they didn't get the job.
- We discuss employment terms and ask for feedback. Salary, bonuses and working hours are all potential deal breakers.
