Recruitment and the Ever-Shrinking Attention Span

by Veronica Blatt

recruitment-human-attention-spanToday’s guest blogger is Nicholas Hutchison, our membership marketing associate. Thanks for the timely topic, Nick!

In my consumer behavior class, we have been covering the ever-shrinking attention span and how it affects conversion ratios. If you had to guess how long you had someone’s attention for, what would your number be in seconds? I’ve heard guesses of 30 seconds and I’ve heard guesses of 3 seconds. It truly depends on the reader, but studies show that the average attention span for humans is now 8 seconds. My question to you is, what are you doing as a recruiter or hiring manager to maximize those 8 seconds. If you haven’t thought about it then ask yourself these questions: Read the rest of this entry »

“Go with your gut” and “Follow your instincts” surely have value, especially in the “people business” of staffing. Yet when your company’s future is on the line, you need to complement your instincts with strategy. You require structure, processes, and comprehensive business data to make truly informed, data-driven decisions. Read the rest of this entry »

Are You Connecting With a Potential Candidate, or Just Spamming?

by Veronica Blatt

Today’s guest blogger is Laura Schmieder of Premier Placement Inc., specializing in manufacturing especially engineering, operations, supply chain, sales and marketing roles globally. She currently serves on the NPAworldwide board of directors.

Just last week, a recruiter friend of mine lamented about the connections list of a candidate she had just recruited…and “friended” on LinkedIn. She was amazed at how many other recruiters were on the list. Her comment was that candidates must get bombarded with email, InMails and phone calls. What can she do to differentiate herself?

The Role of Employee Benefits in Recruitment

by Dave Nerz

employee benefits word cloudAs the competition for talent heats up, so does the race for superior compensation and benefits. While compensation is critical, many sophisticated candidates realize the value of a strong benefits package. Salary and compensation will be negotiated by savvy candidates but sometime the thought is that benefits “are what they are” and cannot be altered. A poor presentation by a hiring manager of your benefits package could cost your business the talented player it seeks. Read the rest of this entry »

by Liz Carey

Dreaming of 30% recruitment fees? As a recruiter, working the right industries and high-profile jobs where quality candidates are in great demand are obvious ways to earn big recruitment fees. But you won’t always have a stack of VP or Director-level jobs sitting on your desk… so how do you negotiate a bigger recruitment fee?

A client must be greatly motivated to pay a large recruitment fee – often when they can’t find the candidate they need and have exhausted all resources. Companies are willing to pay for top talent, and as a recruiter, your challenge is to convince them that you are the only one suitable of finding those superstar candidates.

Make a Network Work for You

by Liz Carey

Recruiting is a tough business. Sometimes you’re given a seemingly impossible req to fill from a client, or sometimes you have a great candidate that you just can’t seem to place. What do you do when you hit that brick wall? What if you had a whole network of like-minded recruiters who could bring you a wealth of talent, determination and diligence? This is what split recruiting is all about. Split placements involve two recruiters who work together to help a client find the best candidate, and help a candidate find the best role for them.

In the NPAworldwide recruiting network, we often see stories of two hard-working recruiters working together to make a placement. Here’s a story of a recent one: Read the rest of this entry »
