So how can you try and ensure that recruitment within your company is as successful as possible? The following ideas may be worth considering;
Ensure that when you contact your recruitment supplier you have as full a job specification as possible.
Have provisional interview dates already pencilled in your diary - if a candidate can be contacted not only with all the details of your company and the opportunity which exists within it, but also with potential interview dates, it helps to focus this candidates mind on your opportunity.
Do not recruit until you are ready - asking for CV's of potential candidates two to three months before you are ready to recruit is a wasted exercise - these candidates will have gained alternative employment long before you are ready to see them.
Move from the first interview stage to the second interview stage within two weeks (within a week is preferable) as this gives candidates an impression of a company that is organised, professional and most importantly of all, interested in them.
