Time to get ready is now!

January is the busiest month in the recruiting space, according to LinkedIn. Now is the time to review your hiring plan for 2024, to review budgets, desired postings and candidate pool.

At GSP Baltimore we work with our clients to plan for the new year to ensure that the most talented people are discussing building a career with them. It takes planning, looking at what worked well and didn’t work well in 2023. That analysis should be both data-driven and anecdotal. It should include feedback from internal stakeholders, members of the recruiting team and possibly even those hired in the past year.

If it has been a while since you did a deep dive on your recruiting program and you would like to have an experienced partner at the table for the conversation, we’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Follow these steps to get hired here!

Quality candidates, especially passive candidates, have little patience with hiring processes that appear disorganized and random. A much better strategy is to carefully plan out our hiring process and present that to candidates before they even apply.

GSP Baltimore works with our clients to define their process, put the words to the specific steps and the gates used to proceed from start to finish. Advanced software can even then, more effectively, track the candidates’ progress and give the recruiting team a much more informed view of how robust the candidate pipeline is. Yes, it requires an investment of time, and the skills of a good recruiting partner, but the results are much more satisfying for the candidates, clients and our company’s team members.

If your recruiting partners is not help you put voice to your process, you should be speaking with GSP Baltimore.

“Now let me ask YOU a few questions!”

In this incredibly competitive job market, candidates are becoming more assertive about interviewing their potential employers. Are you ready?

Candidates are playing a more active role in their candidacy by increasingly asking questions on a wide range of topics including job responsibilities, working hours and locations, reporting structure, corporate values, and potential cultural fit.

GSP Baltimore works with our client’s internal recruiting teams to make sure they have thought through the answers to a wide variety of questions and are prepared with responses that increase their ability to hire the very best people.

Is your recruiting partner helping your team be as prepared as they can be? If not, it’s time we talked about your plans for 2024, your critical hires and the specific strategies you have in place to win.

We believe success means that our clients, our candidates, and our firm all win. It is possible and we prove it every day.

Maryland companies, especially, need a great recruiting partner!

Why, because Maryland has the lowest jobless rate in the nation!

It’s the lowest jobless rate ever recorded. Maryland beat North Dakota for the number one spot with a jobless rate of 1.7%, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Employers need to have every advantage when they are looking for the best possible people. In this incredibly competitive space, having the expertise of an experienced recruiting team at your side will increase the likelihood that you will have access to passive candidates and those who are looking for superior challenges. GSP Baltimore knows where to find these candidates and we know how to help bring them into a conversation with your company.

Our clients have relied on us for years, and maybe it’s time you do as well.

So what? Who cares?

A recent survey shows how CEOs have become less empathic. Out of 3,000 professionals surveyed, a third said that CEOs are less empathetic about life integration issues and being able to speak freely without their opinions.

Because of our intensive, daily involvement with top candidates in the marketplace, GSP Baltimore clients gain a view into how candidates will react to working for and with their company. We help them see what the candidates see, and how they can adapt to the changing perceptions and demands of the marketplace.

Winning for our clients is about creating the best possible hiring environment so they can hire the best people. We make that possible. If your search partner isn’t challenging your view of the marketplace and helping you be more empathetic, maybe you should make a change. We’re here to help.

Don’t delegate hiring to a lesser-experienced team. Partner with a top-rated search firm to achieve the best results.

Have your hiring efforts come up short in recent months? Admittedly, we are working in very challenging times. Sometimes this lends to employers working with recruiters and hiring managers who don’t have the depth of experience to recruit successfully, no matter what the market conditions.

GSP Baltimore clients understand that there is no substitute for experience. Partnering with a top-notch firm like ours means the bringing to bear the experience needed to develop the best recruiting strategy for a position, finding the right candidates, validating their credentials and capabilities, and negotiating the hiring process for a successful hire.

We believe that when our clients win, and our candidates win, we win. The drive for that objective is what sets our team apart. Let’s have a conversation about how we can help bring our experience to bear for your business.

It’s about the 3!

In executive recruiting, the 3 is about the 3 most important metrics to manage to ensure your recruiting goals are met. In a recent survey the top 3 are the quality of the hire, the time to fill and the cost per hire. The end of the year is a good time to assess the performance of your recruiting efforts and make sure your team is meeting or exceeding your objectives on these 3 important metrics.

GSP Baltimore’s clients use a variety of tools to assess their performance from Candidate Relationship Management software, enhanced internal and external communication tools and constantly reassess the strengths and weaknesses of their process.

If you are not sure where to start the process of focusing on your Top 3, let’s talk. We’re ready to help you build enthusiasm for exceeding your top 3.

This is a high priority time to find a new job!

Now is a super-busy time for job hunters. Both employers and job seekers are anxious to secure new roles before winter and the Christmas rush. Once this rush is over, things traditionally slow until early spring. Time is now to pick up the pace.

Employers are anxious to lock in new hires so these people can get accustomed to their roles over the next several months. They are also looking to get a head start on their hiring needs for the upcoming year. That means companies will be quicker to hire at times like these.

GSP Baltimore customers see tremendous benefit from partnering with a search firm like ours. Our expertise in accelerating the identification of candidates, as well as the application, qualification, and interviewing processes. This allows them to reach their hiring goals and objectives more easily than they can on their own.

Does your search partner help you speed your search process? Maybe we should have a conversation about your current and future hiring needs?

Successful data-driven recruiting starts with setting the right goals.

When’s the last time you considered your cost-per-hire? How about the amount of time it takes to hire the right candidate? What sources are the best for finding the qualified candidates you’re seeking? How effective is your hiring process, as measured by your job acceptance rate?

These questions and so many more require the use of a data-driven recruiting process. What does that mean? It means you collect data at various stages of the recruiting process and then evaluate them.

Evaluate them against what? EXACTLY! The first step in data-driven recruiting is setting specific goals to measure your success against.

At GSP Baltimore, we work closely with clients to understand what has historically worked and not worked with how they have recruited in the past. We set clear goals that address the shortcomings and reinforce the successful parts of the process. Then we help them execute and measure success.

Does your search partner help you define, measure, and achieve success, or do they just throw resumes over the transom? We’re here if you want to improve your data-driven process.

What the heck are they? Just a key to executive recruiting…

One key to successful executive search is the size of a company’s network of candidates, especially passive candidates. Passive candidates are typically not actively searching for a new role but are open to a conversation. Because of this, outreach needs to be highly personalized and compelling. Tailored communication is based on a knowledge of their current situation, an understanding of their skills, and respect for their personal situation. Finally, communication needs to provide them with a description of the perceived value to them, based on their situation.

Too often firms use generic communication to cast a wide net, while clients of GSP Baltimore see that we have detailed knowledge, like that formerly held on rolodex cards, that allows us to find the right people at the right time.

Does your search partner give you the confidence that they have a deep rolodex? Let’s talk!

Salary increases are not delayed by possible foul economic weather.

A recent research report shows that salary increases planned for 2024 will reach a two-decade high. Despite the looming possibility of challenging economic times ahead, employers are running forward with planned increases of 3.9% in overall compensation next year. While slightly below the increases seen in 2023, these increases are still very healthy.

The race for the most talented candidates always requires a thorough understanding of the competitive salary and total compensation numbers needed to successfully secure the very best talent. Critical to companies knowing where the numbers need to be, is outside data and feedback from a trusted source.

Clients who partner with GSP Baltimore understand how to keep salaries competitive without outpacing the marketplace. They benefit from our work in the recruiting space day in and day out.

Does your recruiting partner help keep you on track and well-positioned. If you’re not convinced, we should have a conversation!
