Top Recruitment Blogs of 2021

by Veronica Blatt

top recruitment blogsWe are officially on hiatus until January 2022! During this brief break, here is a list of our five top recruitment blogs (most-read) this year. We hope you enjoy them, and look forward to bringing you new content in early January.

  • 20 Questions You Need to Ask When Qualifying a Job Order – It’s easy to say yes to new job orders, especially to long-term clients or a new client with potential for repeat business, but sometimes it’s better to say no. Here is a good list of questions to ask to help you make a solid yes or no decision.
  • Three Important Considerations When Starting a Recruitment Agency – While there are many factors to evaluate when opening your own firm, these are some of the most important. Start with having enough cash to operate for up to 18 months before your new venture starts generating revenue.
  • How Important are Reference Checks? – Whether you’re a recruiter who does your own reference checks or prefers to let your clients handle them, this is an important part of the recruitment process when done well.
  • 8 Guarantee and Refund Policies – This is perhaps one of the most controversial topics among recruiters. Certainly, many clients have come to expect cash-back refunds or even long guarantee periods. However, recruiters don’t have control of the candidate’s experience once they start working. Here are some common guarantee and refund policies used by NPAworldwide members if you’re looking for some fresh ideas next year.
  • 12 Steps to Follow to Start a Recruitment Business – This long-form post offers a detailed tutorial for anyone who is looking to start a recruitment business. Recruitment is a business with a low barrier to entry, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to be successful. A thorough and well-developed plan will help you reach your goals.

How do you feel about this list of top recruitment blogs? Do these topics resonate with business issues you are confronting today? Please share a comment below, especially if there are particular topics you’d like to see us address. Thank you for your support, and best wishes for a prosperous 2022!
