PREPARING FOR A RETURN TO HIRING ................
By Yvonne Kane , Managing Director of Kane Consulting..
“ a recent study conducted by Kane Consulting , shows that as many as 55% of workers plan to look for another job once the economy picks up “.
The recruiting and hiring systems of many organisations have laid dormant for the better part of 2009 into 2010 as we rode the GFC. Some companies were forced to reduce or even eliminate their recruiting of staff. While some economists have declared the recession over many of us are still very sceptical . Nonetheless , at Kane Consulting we are seeing signs that a return to hiring as more and more companies seek our help priming their hiring systems for recovery. Whether you are hiring for one or two positions that have been vacated , or finally moving forward with a long-postponed expansion, the stakes are high to get the right person on board. If the wrong person is hired and stays on for six months or less, the cost of rehiring and re-training is estimated to be about half of that employee’s salary. No organisation can afford to throw dollars away so, before you begin to think about hiring again , there are three questions that you should consider :
1. What steps have you taken to ensure that you are hiring people that can execute your current business strategies and who are a good fit for your organisation ?.
At Kane Consulting we urge our clients to paint a complete picture of a successful performer. This means looking at competencies , knowledge , experience and personal attributes and how these translate into cultural fit. Now is the time to conduct an audit of your job competencies.
2. Do you have screening tools in place to deal with high volumes applicants for very few jobs ?.
We’ve all heard horror stories of applications for some roles outnumbering the stars in the sky. Testing is a cost-effective way to help efficiently identify the top candidates, saving your recruiter’s valuable time and increasing the efficacy of your hiring efforts.
3. Do you have plans to brush up on your interviewing skills ?.
Reviewing the basics of good behavioural interviewing will combat an urge to revert to classic selection errors. In the coming months and years hiring decisions will be more crucial than ever as you work to rebuild your benchmark for talent. Now is the time to take stock of your hiring systems and to ensure that you are selecting the best talent in the market when the time comes to get an edge on your competitor.
