Recruiting Senior-level Employees 6 Solid Tips

Recruiting Senior-level Employees 6 Solid Tips Sponsored by MightyRecruiter Recruiting for senior-level employees can be a headache, especially in an economy with near-full employment. When recruiting for a senior position, which typically requires a detailed recipe of hard and soft skills, accomplishments, and professional experience, the field can seem awfully narrow. Make your challenge for 2019 to sharpen your senior-level recruiting skills. By following the list of 6 tips below, you’ll learn to present your upcoming opportunities to a pool of active and passive candidates alike, tangibly improve the qualities of your hires, and increase your company’s retention. 1. Start with a standout job description Clever titles and a long list of work perks aren’t enough to attract the best candidates in this job market. With fewer people actively looking for work, effective recruiting for senior-level employees requires a job description that will attract even those jobseekers who didn’t know they needed a new job. Especially for hard-to-fill roles, writing a clean, detailed job description must be a priority if you are hoping to improve your chances of identifying the right candidates. A common complaint among recruiters and hiring managers is that there is a skills gap or a dearth of candidates who possess the exact skills sets needed for job openings. However, research shows that often it isn’t a lack of qualified candidates but rather a disconnect between what recruiters are looking for and what applicants are writing on their resumes. To combat this, recruiters and hiring managers must have a deep understanding of the role. When writing a job description, ask yourself what problem the company is looking to solve with this hire. Then, develop a detailed profile of your ideal candidate. In other words, your job description should be more than a list of job responsibilities. It should focus on the specific hard and soft skills that an employee will need to succeed in the role. To develop this list, interview employees who are currently shining in similar job titles and ask what they think their most valuable skills are. Interview the executive that this new hire will report to, as well, and ask them the same questions.  Their responses during these interviews should inform your job description more than a list of duties and responsibilities. 2. Make the first contact count Highly-qualified candidates are often bombarded with emails from recruiters, many of which are vague, uninspired emails that scream of a mass mailing. Very often, these go unanswered. Recruiting for senior-level employees requires you to up your game. To increase your chances of getting a response from your chosen candidates, personalize every communication. At a minimum, use the person’s name and mention one of their past roles or a skill they possess that has caught your eye. By taking the time to customize each correspondence just a little bit, you’ll increase the likelihood that a candidate will respond to your request for a call or meeting. 3. Don’t rely exclusively on email With tools like ContactOut available, it’s easier than ever to participate in the lost art of the phone call. Once you are familiar with a candidate, consider tracking down their phone number and giving them a call. Especially when recruiting for senior-level employees whose email inboxes are often bursting with inquiries from recruiters, taking the time to pick up the phone shows your true interest in their skill set and can be much more personal than a generic email. Not convinced? A recent survey found that nearly 40 percent of job seekers preferred being contacted by phone over email. 4. Be able to explain why this is a great opportunity This tip, too, is about personalization. Another benefit to taking the time to study the career path of the candidates you are considering is that it will help you be more selective about who you reach out to, which will save you time. Look at each candidate’s background (perhaps through a Mighty resume database) and ask yourself â€" is this a logical next step for this person’s career? What is appealing for one candidate will not be the same as what appeals to another. For example, if you are looking to hire a marketing manager, someone who currently holds the title associate marketing manager might jump at the chance to move up the ladder professionally. However, for someone who already holds that title and would be making a lateral move, being able to highlight new skills they’ll develop in the role or exciting projects they’ll work on, could help pique their interest. This tip is especially important when recruiting passive candidates. 5. Learn stellar screening skills You’ve written a killer job description, personalized emails to a handful of dream candidates, and have received some positive responses. Now, it’s time to screen your candidates. When recruiting for senior-level employees, a seasoned recruiter can often tell by looking at a candidate’s resume whether they have the skills to do a job. However, the phone or video screen is when you’ll begin to decide which of your selected candidates are most likely to succeed in the role. While skills and knowledge certainly play into the part of the interview process, don’t forget to ask questions that get to the heart of the candidate’s work, management, and communication styles. These are often a determining factor in whether they will be a cultural fit for a team or company and can help you determine who will be most likely to thrive in the role. 6. Get sleuth-y with reference checks Going the extra mile in checking references is a critical part of the hiring process.   After all, it’s easy for candidates to present themselves well during a few job interviews. And with so much of our lives documented on social media, it’s easy to back up that presentation with a carefully curated LinkedIn profile. When checking references, don’t stop at the people provided by the candidate â€" after all, as the candidates chosen references, they are almost certainly going to paint a rosy picture of the person’s past performance. Instead, go a step further by using your own network to ask questions. Look on LinkedIn for common contacts and, if you have any in common, reach out to those people for a fresh perspective on the candidate’s accomplishments and demeanor. Look at the candidate’s online recommendations and reach out to those, not on your list of referrals. Read reviews of the candidate’s published works or lectures. These steps can serve as gut checks that will help you feel confident that you are reading the candidate correctly.

Why Recruiters Must Learn When to Say NO!

Why Recruiters Must Learn When to Say NO! I am regarded, I believe, in the (notorious) R2R sector as someone who doesn’t rub egos; I will address all parties with candour throughout the process and yes I say “no” quite a lot to people regularly! I genuinely believe that if more recruiters learned to say “no” in business, the sector would be more robust and frankly, better regarded by those who use it for career searches and to grow their businesses. But there is also an added advantage to saying “no” in business. profit. The recruitment sector comprises of a multitude of people and personalities; I have a daily conversation with my clients about the composition aka the “DNA” of a good recruiter, and there is never a one size fits all answer, as I have blogged about previously- it is always subjective to a company’s ethos, sector, processes and culture. However, one observation I have to make as a R2R (and I am going to label myself as wise and veteran with 9 yrs of running my own business and 16 yrs in the recruitment sector!)- that more recruiters must  be more picky whom they partner with why aren’t people more discerning about whom they do business with? Recruiters have to accept more responsibility about the clients they choose to represent and recruit for. And equally, the candidates they represent in the market. I absolutely fail to understand what benefit there is to anyone or the sector if recruiters continue to place candidates into companies who don’t pay fees (I hear this a lot- seriously? Do your credit checks before embarking on any business relationships and simply get signed terms. It really is a process all  recruiters must follow.) of clients who have a notorious reputation for hiring/firing/poor ethics, of companies waiting for your introduction period to end and then “back dooring” the recruiter. A hideous waste of your time and effort. And I say “no” to companies   if I feel there is no synergy between my approach and theirs- how can I sit in and portray integrity if I am happy to send my candidates to companies who don’t offer the same set of values? So, I don’t! On candidates, I say “no” to more candidates than I actually go to market proactively with, yes, it is true. If someone has a poor CV, bad attitude or a worrying reference; if I genuinely believe I would be going on a crusade to represent them, I tell them this and let them know I can’t help. I advise them who else to speak to, or how to approach the market themselves. Folly or actually, good commercial business sense? Ultimately I want to place the right people into the right roles so surely I can’t represent everyone? It is so hard to genuinely have a USP in the recruitment market these days. Everyone has a snazzy website, social media apprentice, clever CRM systems even me. But actually, you could make your USP a free one: teach your recruiters to be discerning. To say no to clients and candidates you can’t and won’t build long term, profitable relationships with. What do you think? Have I finally lost the plot admitting to my strategy in saying “no” to people, to be discerning. Or actually, have I got a valid point and is this a USP of yours, in your recruitment niche?

Personal Branding Helps Make Every Day Independence Day - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Personal Branding Helps Make Every Day Independence Day - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Id like to help you make every day Independence Day by sharing the 3 steps I took after leaving my last job, steps that might help you gain your independence and build your personal brand. Independence Day has special significance for me; it was on Independence Day when I decided to never again work for anyone else. I had enjoyed a lot of success in my last job, the pay was good, I enjoyed my role as the advertising manager of a chain of high-end retail electronics stores, and I liked dealing with customers interested in buying high-performance music systems. What I didn’t like was the dynamics of a family business, and I had no desire to ever again being in a position where I was vulnerable to the dynamics, moods, and protocols of working for someone else…or being forced into the position of   job hunting. Sound familiar? So, I took the plunge I had far fewer resources to turn to for guidance than today’s budding entrepreneurs. Personal branding, of course, was not yet on the tip of everyone’s tongue. Platforms hadn’t been invented. Followers was a term reserved for religious cult leaders. Advertising and marketing were terms used to describe the mass media tools that corporations used to get remembered, rather than individuals used to get noticed. And public relations focused on articles in local newspapers. I also had fewer resources than (hopefully) you do. I was newly married, 3,000 miles from home, a new father, a newly-minted homeowner…and the owner of 2 just-leased Saabs. Was I nervous? Of course! Just like you might be, if you’re thinking of striking out on your own. Sink or swim survival techniques Having made the decision to bypass traditional employment, I immediately did 3 things to begin a new, independent, phase in my life: Step 1: Office. In order to symbolize my independence and emphasize my commitment to self-employment, I located a startlingly-inexpensive office in a paper box factory. (Maybe its lack of heating and air conditioning had something to do with its plow price.) This gave me a place to go every morning. It gave me an independent telephone number. Step 2: Visibility. In order to get noticed, I identified and approached a publication that needed to help its readership advertise and market their businesses more effectively. I didn’t ask for money, but I did request a 1/3 page ad in each issue, and requested that my 2-page article ran in the centerspread of each issue. (These were, obviously, simpler times.) Step 3: Cash flow. As you can see from my family, home, and automobile commitments listed above, I needed money. But, as always, necessity is the mother of invention. I came up with an idea for a modular newspaper advertising  insert that retailersâ€"working with their local newspapersâ€"could easily complete on their own. I partnered with a local design group, so I had no production costs, and I marketed it through my trade-out ads each month. And….I hustled. I located a handful of additional local small businesses to fill out my time and create a cushion for planning the next stage. It all soon came together. Partly as planned, and partly by chanceâ€"as a result of exploring new opportunities, gradually broadening my perspective, and undertaking bigger challenges. Soon, I was making more money on my own than when I had a job. Within a few years, I wrote my first best-selling book, Looking Good in Print: A Guide to Basic Design for Desktop Publishing, the first of over 40 books, and was traveling through the country presenting day long seminars and workshops. Could this approach work for you in todays changed world? What about it? Let’s analyze the my 3 steps, and see if they are still valid today: Office. I’m firmly convinced that having an office outside of the home is as important today as it ever was, although I’m willing to concede that today it’s not as important as it once was. Visibility. The source of my independence was locating a venue where I could promote my expertise in an editorial format. The ability to write is the ability to earn! Today, it’s both easier and harder for you to get your writing noticed. True, it’s easier in that you don’t need a magazineyou only need a blog. But, unfortunately, everyone else can also set up a blog. But, the fundamental source of independence remains creating visibility and respect through writing. Cash flow. Everyone needs cash flow. As soon as possible, you need to productize your expertise into an easy-to-deliver source of income. This is probably even more important than locating 1 or 2 key clientsâ€"because “key clients” who are responsible for the majority of your income can become as demanding as the “bosses” you’re trying to avoid! Of the 3 steps I took, though, Visibility is the key. Without visibility, I would probably have quickly starved on the vineand been forced to settle for the first job offer that I received. Word-based visibility, then and now, remains the key to independence and success.   (Only now, your written words are now often delivered as YouTube videos.) Good years bad years So far, I’ve enjoyed several decades of “boss-free” independence. It hasn’t all been rosy, of course: there have been good years and there have been bad years. Not all were pretty. But, on the other hand, I’ve never been “trapped” or at the mercy of a capricious boss. And, most important, I didn’t start from a business backgroundâ€"I majored in European History in college and always wanted to be a teacher. And, as mentioned, resources like this blog, personal coaches, and the Internet weren’t even on the horizon when I started out. So, if I could enjoy an independent life, you can probably do to, too! Don’t let insecurity get in the way of controlling your own destiny and mastering the new skills necessary to build your personal brand and make every day your Independence Day!

How Can We Promote Healthy Eating in the Workplace

How Can We Promote Healthy Eating in the Workplace Its so easy to grab that bar of chocolate or fizzy drink especially if youre at your desk with deadlines looming. Skipping breakfast, lunch-on-the-go, or grabbing that full-fat large latte during the coffee run weve all been guilty of doing it. And while it may not harm once in a while, doing it long-term can have a detrimental effect on your health. Most people spend a third of their day at work, so it makes sense for companies to make the food and drink choices available in the workplace as healthy as possible. But as the saying goes You can take the horse to water, but you cant make it drink. Well our 10 corporate wellness experts give us their suggestions for companies to help promote healthy eating in the workplace. Jill King There are simple steps that organisations can take to help their employees build better wellbeing habits. Creating a work environment that promotes employee health increases productivity and develops a better corporate culture. Here are a few tips from Dr. David Katz, Virgin Pulse Science Advisory Board Member. Provide and promote wholesome food options Use a nutrient profiling system to show the range in nutritional quality of foods Host cooking groups, at a local cooking school, or bring-a-plate to encourage shared engagement in healthy meal preparation. Order fresh fruit for the office on a regular basis Send out a daily or weekly healthy eating tip over the company intranet or via email. Make sure company event catering reinforces healthy eating to show that food can be both delicious and nutritious. Jill King,  Director of International Markets at VirginPulse. Ruth Tongue How long have you got? (answers the nutritionist!). No seriously there are some very simple steps that can be taken to encourage healthy eating at work. The one thing I feel so passionate about is encouraging the culture of taking a lunch break. Not only does this mean youll eat more mindfully, youll also probably be more active and youll improve your mood and focus. At Elevate we work with caterers to improve the offerings available in canteens and vending machines but its also about improving habits among colleagues if its the norm to bring in cake every time theres a birthday and order unhealthy platters for every staff meeting its going to be tricky for individuals to keep on track. Nutrition challenges such as increasing water intake or making sugar swaps are a good place to start as a little bit of friendly competition always boosts engagement! Ruth Tongue, Co-founder of Elevate. Sammy Courtright Improving people’s diets is probably one of the most difficult behavior changes to promtoes in an office. After all, people are stuck in their ways, and let’s be real: a piece of pizza is often a lot more appealing than a salad by the time lunchtime comes around! However, there are some easy ways to support and encourage healthier eating habits at the office. For example, with the rise of grocery delivery services, you can arrange for a dropoff of a weeks supply of healthy eats, such as fresh fruit, high-protein bars, granola, string cheese, and Greek yogurts. Similarly, if you have sodas in the fridge consider switching them out for naturally flavored sparkling waters. We love LaCroix at Fitspot! Sammy Courtright, founder and CEO of Fitspot Wellness. Liz Walker When we get busy, we often choose the “easiest” option, which isn’t always the healthiest. Make eating healthy an easy choice for employees. Have grab-and-go fruit options and other healthy quick snack choices will help employees stay healthy while busy. Water stations for a quick refuel will ensure they’re getting the proper hydration they need during the work day. They’ll likely find they have more stamina, too.  Enhancing education on healthy eating and its benefits can also create healthy habits. Signposting nutritional information including calorie counts in your breakroom or cafeteria is a good way to start. Beyond that, using training and workshops can help further learnings. Liz Walker, HR Director, Unum UK. Nick Patel For starters, employers should rethink the employee kitchens, especially those that are offering free snacks, and company lunches.   Employees, like most people, often consume based on convenience.   It comes as no surprise that healthier snacks and work lunches can improve the content of food eaten at work.   This does not mean employers need to only offer healthy foods.   For example, Google cut three million calories from employee diets by making candy less visible and harder to get to.   They also offered smaller plates, which helped employees with portion control. Nick Patel, CEO of Wellable. Lucy Tallick This is easier than you think. Healthy eating is about good education and understanding some basic fundamentals. The best thing you can do is offer great advice and education to your teams. There is so much media misunderstanding about nutrition and what people should and shouldn’t be eating and drinking. Healthy eating at work is not about ‘Free Fruit Friday’! It’s about making sure that you supply good healthy snacking with the education that hydration is better than caffeine. We are at work for such a large proportion of our waking hours that if you can create great healthy eating habits at work, this will support a healthier lifestyle and habits outside of work in day to day life. Lucy Tallick,   Head of Wellbeing at Reward Gateway. Alaana Linney Encouraging employees to take a full lunch break away from their desk is a starting point because it will help to avoid reliance on pre-prepared and often unhealthy meals. In meetings, supply fresh fruit instead of cakes and biscuits. If you have a canteen or vending facilities, provide choice by swapping out some unhealthy confectionary, crisps and fizzy drinks in favour of healthier snack bars, low-sugar drinks and dried fruit. Nutritional experts can also provide on-site workshops, educating employees about healthy eating and how to plan and prepare their own meals. Alaana Linney, Director of Business Development at Nuffield Health. Joe Gaunt With any company wide initiative or programme it must start with support from the very top.  Avoid ‘wellness weeks’ in isolation but instead invest and improve access and the promotion of healthy nutrition at all times. Ensure workers also have access to fresh drinking water, as sugary drinks and caffeine can be viewed as just as bad as fatty, unhealthy foods.  Engaging in a platform that offers food advice and education, plus allows for personalisation is a great place to start and also consider group challenges, goals and rewards. Joe Gaunt, CEO of Hero Wellbeing. Shaun Bradley Provide employees with healthy snack alternatives so that they have nutritious food available when temptation hits them. We have a fantastic range of healthy eating resources at Perkbox. We provide fruit, nuts, rice cakes, almond milk, low fat yoghurt and many more. Keep initiatives fresh by adding new options to the mix so that employees don’t get bored. Listen to their requests; they will love you for it. Another great tip that works wonders for us is to encourage employees to share their recipes for meals they have created using ingredients available from our kitchen. They post these on our internal social media platform and others feel inspired to copy and/or design their own too. Shaun Bradley, Director of People at  Perkbox. Sam Fromson Buy-in is critical.   Start by telling your people about your commitment to healthy eating.  Education is next.   Use the resources provided by campaigns like Change 4 Life to educate your people.   Discourage eating at desks by encouraging lunch breaks.   If you can, provide space for your people to socialise and re-energise over lunch.   Hydration is critical so make sure your people drink their 8 glasses of water a day.   If you have a canteen or vending machines make sure they include healthy options.   Finally, if you can run to it give your people fresh fruit once or twice a week. Sam Fromson, Co-founder of Yulife.

8 Tips for Anyone Trying To Get A Handle On Time Management

8 Tips for Anyone Trying To Get A Handle On Time Management Are you usually punctual or late? Do you have the ability to complete a task on time? Or are you able to accomplish goals before the deadline? Are you manage your time or not?If your answer from any of the above question is NO, then it means that you are unable to manage your time. So don’t worry in this article you find various tips that help you to manage your time properly.evalThe term time management may be terrifying to you. Your mind always reminding you the pending deadlines and the list of task that is left.If you manage your time effectively it can enhance your productivity, and prepare yourself mentally. Even some people take classes for time management and use electronic planners to better handle their daily tasks.Time is very precious and it should not be wasted at any cost. Time flies when you are having fun and it drags when you are feeling bored.Whether you are a student, an entrepreneur or an employee, always remember that the only thing between you and your goals i s time.1. Plan your work aheadThe only way to stay ahead of your time is to plan ahead. Make a weekly and daily schedule of your activities. The schedule will help you to know how much work you perform in a day or week.It will help you to track your ability and your productive time. You can also make changes in your schedule. Also when you make the schedule for the day or week must strictly follow it.Always plan your day before going to the bed. The schedule will help you to understand the overview of activities that are coming ahead.2. Prioritize your schedule wiselyevalWhile planning schedule keeps in mind all the important activity and task that you are going to be done. Organize your schedule on first thing first priority. When you prioritize your task adjust them according to your goals and requirements.Your daily activities must fall into one of four categories which are important and urgent, important but not urgent, urgent but unimportant, and both not urgent and unimportant .Always start your schedule with the important and urgent task. When you did any task mark it on your schedule.3. Learn to delegate where possibleWhether you are running a small business or large enterprise, a one-man effort will not get anyone success. All of us know that we cannot manage all the workload in our own arms.evalDelegation is also not an easy thing because it is hard to find a trustworthy person who can do same task effectively. If you are unable to find which task should be outsourced then there are various articles online that provide help you to understand which task would be better done if you assign them to the third party.Your success chance may be increased when you this, also you have a chance to give that time to other tasks. So when you find other opportunities arise delegate some task to other team members.4. Stop leaving tasks unfinishedNever stop with the unfinished task because it will continue in the future and overlap with the next task. When you start any task always ensure that it is complete before you move yourself to the next task.Also, do not encourage yourself to do multitask. There are some activities in which you cannot do multitasking.For example, if you are entering data into the excel sheet and want on the side by side to answering the emails, you will probably take more time to complete the task than normal. Try to finish your task within the described limit of the task.5. Choose to be effective over being efficientLife is not a race or a place where you try to please everyone. Sometimes your efficiency and polite behavior will harm you. A friend who wants to take help from you to complete any task may be he consumes you too much time from the time which you assign for your important and urgent tasks.Learn to tell them no in a polite way. Another way to enhance your skills and effectiveness is to solve new task which is not old or familiar for you. The unfamiliar task will take your more time and you risk your reputat ion because of this task.6. Organize your desk and working environmentHave you ever come across with a situation when you want to note down something and you are finding a pen but you are unable to find it because your working desk is messy?If it occurs most of the time, you will save so much time if you organized things. For becoming an organized person you do not need to work hard.evalWhat you have to do just is to place things at their right place. For example, place documents and files in a particular cabinet and put a pen in a pen holder.7. Focus on the vital fewThe direct objective to be business is to achieve goals. You must perform such task and activities that are related and important for your business success. Pay attention to the things that distract you from your work.If the distraction is self-made, then its time to use your willpower ability. When you track the cause of distraction then your willpower for the improvement. Which bring effectiveness in your work.8. Trea t urgent and important tasks equallyProcrastination groups in when you put off the difficult tasks for the sake of the easier ones. You must treat all the important and urgent tasks should treat at the same priority.If you have any schedule then strictly follow it. The problem with difficult tasks is that too makes it more difficult to handle them in the long run.evalBeing an obsessive can make you procrastinate. You start to pay attention to unimportant tasks. You don’t need to be perfect, but what you have to do is to avoid procrastination is to get a head start.

Cheap Resume Writing Services Online - Things to Remember When Looking For Them

Cheap Resume Writing Services Online - Things to Remember When Looking For ThemAre you looking for cheap resume writing services online? This is something that you should consider especially if you have limited time to get the resume written because you want to find a solution that is easy and faster. It is hard to judge which is the best service when you just need it fast. So let us see what are some things that you can do to find the right and the cheapest one.Find more than one provider: In case of multiple providers then just compare their rates and compare their terms and conditions. You can check the website and see if they provide samples of their work and even test them. This is important so that you do not fall into the trap of the first one that offers a mediocre service.Make a contract: If you are short of time then it is better to make a contract so that you know how the service is going to be delivered. This is the only way for you to have a fixed budget for the project and you can make adjustments to it after the project is over. If you opt for the last service, you will have to pay for that too so that you know if there is any dispute in the future.Check if the service is available: If you have done the research and you have found the affordable price, then check if the service is available from the provider. Many people choose to use the cheap services online because this is where you get the fastest services and cheapest prices. It is better if you do not use the services from these providers unless you have to because you do not want to end up wasting your money on a poor quality service.Ask for the samples: Ask for samples of the work that the company is offering. This is a way to check if you have a low quality service. Sometimes you can get a sample with the services already completed so that you do not have to do the work. Get a sample: If you do not like the service then you can try to get a sample with the other companies that offer this service. This is a good way to find out whether you have a high quality service or not.These are the things that you can do when you want to find cheap resume writing services online. If you need fast and easy services, then it is better to seek the services of a company that offers these services in a cost effective manner.
