Increase Candidate Quality

When you鈥檝e got a mile-high pile of open job openings to fill, you don鈥檛 need more applicants, you need better ones. Without a staffing agency, you may find yourself running in circles.

鈥�How We Increase Candidate Quality

One way we attract great talent is to write your job descriptions in a way that appeals to the caliber of people you鈥檙e looking to hire. This doesn鈥檛 just mean the right kind of skills and experience, but also the right attitude and values. You aren鈥檛 always able to identify these qualities in an isolated interview, so having a backlog of talent is ideal for all departments and teams you鈥檙e hiring for now and in the near future.聽

We distill the more important characteristics of the available position (industry, position) to craft these great job descriptions. Working with a staffing agency may mean you spend more upfront time on your descriptions, but you鈥檒l be glad you did when you have better candidates and happier hiring managers. Treat your jobs as simple tools to communicate and reinforce your employer branding efforts, and find an agency that can quickly turn around candidates quickly.

How to Attract Quality Applicants

Tell job stories. We help candidates understand why your opening is the perfect opportunity for them with a 鈥渏ob story鈥� that goes beyond the basic job description. A job story helps candidates visualize themselves in the role, often by portraying what a 鈥渄ay in the life鈥� might be like. We鈥檝e found that good job stories fuel a candidate鈥檚 excitement for opportunities with your company and motivate them to invest time and energy to apply.

For a marketing job description, we鈥檒l try something like 鈥淚nspiring our customers with creative campaigns is all in a day鈥檚 work!鈥� Use distinct language to communicate your culture. Clearly define the attributes that distinguish your company culture and your highest performers from everyone else. Then, share those attitudes in your job description. Avoid generic and overused phrases that completely miss the unique (and most appealing) aspects of your available job(s) or office culture.

For example, when illustrating a collaborative environment, try something like 鈥淥ur employees actually work together and share credit. In fact, ego-driven personalities don鈥檛 last very long here.鈥滶mphasize action and impact. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 in it for me?鈥� This is the question on every qualified candidate's mind as they skim our job description for the first time. We make it easy for them to answer that question by framing your job description around what your lucky hire will get to do, not what they must have in order to qualify. For a human resources staff for a venture-backed company, try something like 鈥渦se your recruiting knowledge and extensive human resources background to shape our global growth strategy.鈥澛�
