7 basic things that successful recruiters do

Successful recruiters often wear many hats such as salesman, career counselor, consultant, advisor, and many more. However, they also got to be strong in their basics. Here are 7 basic things that every recruiter should do: Source candidates from search engines, job boards, social networking sites, internal databases, etc. Call the candidates, ask about their needs & wants, tell them how she can help and select candidates for interview. Convey the job expectations and interview process (number of interviews, duration) to the candidates.  Stay in touch with the candidates and guide them through the next steps. Spend time with the candidates answering questions & clarifications. Perform background checks, handle rejections & counteroffers. Once the offer is made, follow up with the candidates and ensure effective onboarding.   Source: eGrabber Newsletter

How recruiters can make more placements in less time?

Almost all recruiters would love to have an answer for this question. Why because, recruiters get paid only when they make placements. To make placements, they got to quickly find the right candidates and build a pipeline of qualified candidates. Unfortunately things don’t happen that way. Recruiters manually search for candidates, extract the resumes from various sources such as search engines, job boards, social & professional networking sites and copy-paste the resume data into their database. It takes a lot of time, and recruiters are left with very little time to call the candidates.
