5 STEP GUIDE TO SUCCESSFUL RECRUITMENT & RETENTION

22/10/2023

Lots of business leaders tell us they struggle to attract the right candidates from their adverts. Many of the CVs they receive don’t have the right skills and experience required for the job. In the fast-paced world of recruitment, one often-overlooked secret to success is crafting a job ad that truly stands out. 🚀🎇📣

At Untapped Potential we provide a full end to end service for recruitment, but we are aware, in this climate for some roles it’s not the best or most time efficient route to market, especially when you need someone fast. As such, we are offering the job board advertising element of our process as a standalone service. It's the part of the process which you MUST get right and can make or break any recruitment campaign if your advert doesn't bring in the kind of people you're looking for.

Writing a compelling job advert is the first step in ensuring recruiting success. Don't underestimate its power in the world of recruitment. Your next star employee might be one well-crafted ad away! We have been writing job ads for some time and have seen some exceptional results from the adverts we have placed in the last couple of months. If you’re struggling to attract the right people, but have a limited budget for recruitment, we can help find a package that works for you.

Talk to me today about finding the right solution for your needs.

This week we were delighted to work with CyberCX UK to help them in their assessment process to select people for their Apprentice Program.

We love the chance to work with new clients and I am pictured here with Jenny Teesdale, Giles Rothwell and Alex Jackson who were a pleasure to work with and were key to ensuring the day was a success. It’s not every day our recruitment process features on the BBC and we were thrilled to be asked to assist such an amazing business who are clearly trailblazers in their industry.

We all know that employees are any organisation’s most valuable asset, and in today’s climate, recruitment and selection should be a key factor in building a strong and effective team. So how do you create a recruitment process that sets you apart from other businesses?

Candidates are increasingly emphasising culture and values fit when considering their options for a new role and good candidates are able to pick and choose between job offers so providing a positive recruitment process experience is likely to have a substantial impact on their perception of your organisation as an employer.

At Untapped Potential Recruitment we have developed a two-way process that is open, honest, tried & tested giving candidates a chance to work in the business and allowing both parties to assess working styles and behaviours. This makes the whole process fairer with both the recruiter and the candidate getting much more information than a traditional interview. The candidate gets an honest look at you, and you get to understand what skills and attributes a person has instead of them answering a series of questions they’ve been asked dozens of times before.

An effective recruitment process will keep your business running at maximum capacity. Please get in touch if you’d like to know more.

Another great day today working with our new client Stanmore Insurance Brokers Ltd to find two new Trainee Account Handlers. Jackie Hyde and her team are fairly new to the Untapped way of recruiting and have been “blown away” (their words) with the whole process.

There’s no greater result for us than when we exceed a client’s expectations and it is a great pleasure to work with such a brilliant team of people who understand and engage with the benefits of a different approach to recruitment.

Our mission is to make recruitment a fun, fair two-way process - both for employer and potential employee - and when we get to work with such amazing clients like this it really brings our vision to life

When you need to recruit people does it fill you with excitement or dread?

If it’s the latter it’s likely because you’ve had bad experiences recruiting people in the past, whether that’s because it’s been unsuccessful, you’ve wasted time & money or because the whole process is just too time consuming and exhaustive.

There are many reasons why recruitment can go wrong, and as experts we know that if there’s a stumbling block during any part of the process it can have an impact on the outcome.

Start with this simple checklist:

✔Make sure your advert is compelling and attractive to the RIGHT people

✔If you’re not attracting the right people, take a critical look at the advert or ask an expert to help

✔If you have high numbers of CV’s be clear about what experience you’re looking for

✔Do more than conventional interviews – check working styles and behaviours as well as just asking a list of questions – give them a task to complete which involves them working with others.

✔Make sure the onboarding & induction process is planned well in advance – this can make or break the process and you may lose people if you make a bad first impression.

If your recruitment process isn’t producing the results you expected, and you are looking to bring in a new recruitment partner, send us a DM today.

Time to Stop Hiring and Firing.

A lot of business leaders we speak to tell us that they are constantly hiring people for what they know and then firing them for who they are. This is a common theme and most hiring managers will rely on a 45 minute interview as the method by which to find top talent. They rely on the CV being authentic and the candidate answering a series of questions in the right way and, if you're really lucky, that's all it takes. But for most businesses, that just doesn't work and in reality you've got a 50/50 chance of success.

Candidates nowadays are well versed in interview techniques and some will even arrive already coached in answering the interview questions in the "right" way. It's not surprising it goes wrong really. During a 1:1 interview, there's little (if any) interaction with others, so you have no idea what their communication style is like which means you have also have no idea whether they will "fit" with your existing team or within your business in general. And that's usually the reason it goes wrong. Not because they couldn't do the job but because of a mis-match in their attitude, their behaviour or their fit.

So what can you do to have a better chance of success? Making changes to how you assess people is a good starting point - if you want different results you have to do something different to begin with. A way of testing interaction is the key so if you don’t want to get left behind in an ever changing world and you’d like to know more about how we are changing the face of recruitment for the better, talk to us today.

Tired of spending time and money on recruitment with nothing to show for it?

We feel your pain. We encounter businesses every day who are in the same situation who come to us for help so you are definitely not alone.

It can be a demoralizing filling vacancy after vacancy and feeling like there is no progress so why not start with getting help with one key role?

Working with professional recruiters is often perceived as a costly process but quite frankly it can be a good investment compared with passing recruitment responsibility to line managers who are not skilled in this area.

There is a reason why people use professionals and it is because they are just that – expert recruiters who do this efficiently every day.

Every hour that a line manager spends on recruitment is another hour spent away from their core work and not looking after their team. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that this leads to stress, things being missed and dissatisfaction.

We are always happy to talk about recruitment, message us today for an informal chat about how to make it work for you.
