Marketing Leftover Candidates
by Veronica BlattMake a Recruitment Network Part of Your Day
by Liz Carey
The most successful recruiters in our network are the ones who use all of NPAworldwide’s tools, and use them consistently. Every now and then, we have recruiters who reach out to trading partners or join practice group conference calls only when they need something – help filling a job req, help placing a candidate they can’t find a suitable role for, etc. And yes, this works too. But the most successful recruiters make it part of their day, every day. This is what helps keep you visible and helps develop great relationships with your trading partners.
We know recruiters don’t have a lot of extra time in their day, but here are some tips on how to effectively work a split placement network: Read the rest of this entry »

Short and Long-Term Cost Savers in Hiring a Recruitment Agency
by Sarah Freiburger
For both small and large organizations alike, satisfied clients can agree that their external recruitment agency has been at times the most time and cost-effective way to access pools of highly skilled workers, especially those who are not actively seeking new employment.
How Recruitment Agencies Save You Time:
Only 10% of the market, if that, is actively applying for jobs. Most of these qualified individuals choose to only work discreetly with a recruitment agency when they are looking for a new challenge and opportunity. A well connected recruitment firm has thousands of candidates within their network, both actively and passively looking new roles. These recruiters are quality specialists within their sectors that have the knowledge to find the perfect fit for any hiring need. These firms pride themselves on presenting the top candidates in each market so a client only needs to make time to view candidates that will be worth considering. An independent firm also addresses all administrative issues such as all communications with the pool of applicants, verifying candidate qualifications and references as well as following up with those candidates not selected. Compared to in-house staff who may require training on best practice procedures, these highly experienced recruiters and agencies handle the process smoothly.
How Recruitment Agencies Save You Money:
Using recruitment agency removes any increased spend on multiple job adverts being posted. For instance, the NPAworldwide network gives recruitment firms allocations on top job boards, so clients can ensure that your job is advertised in all the correct places without managing the spend. Future hiring costs are significantly reduced as the agency will have knowledge of client company growth and culture so the process will be quicker which will result in even faster fills. An international firm part of a global network of recruitment firms locally based on all six continents, can especially reduce the need for in-house resources or putting in place a unique HR team if your organization expands.

How to Create Your Personal Brand in 2019
by Veronica Blatt
Today’s guest blogger is StemX CEO Dominic Chapman. StemX is a video interviewing platform to make recruiting more efficient, user-friendly and far more convenient, allowing employers to be able to choose from a larger pool of candidates in much less time.
I’ve recently been doing a lot of research on marketing and how recruiters can turn themselves into a personal brand to enable them to be seen by more people, improve trust and ultimately grow their business. I am still finding that a lot of recruiters still take the old school approach to recruitment by picking up the phone and utilising their network. This still works great, but these things aren’t going to disappear. Read the rest of this entry »
Who Says the Holidays are a Quiet Time for Recruitment?
by Liz Carey
Recruiters are all-too familiar with the seasonal wind-down that happens around this time of year. Typically, there’s not much hiring going on around the holidays and it usually ramps back up after the new year. But instead of hitting up an ugly Christmas sweater party, the holiday season is actually a great opportunity for recruitment. Many people take time off, so the quiet stretch of December makes for a good time to focus in on your recruitment process. Read the rest of this entry »
