Recruiting Strategy

(July 07, 2004) One way to define strategy is "cost effective planning".

The key elements of a Recruiting Strategy include:

A clear picture of current and future staffing requirements (five years is a good horizon line)
An assessment of the skills, demographics and workload requirements of current employees
A solid definition of regional expansion plans
Training Requirements for Recruiting competency
Established communications patterns for hiring decision making
Clear criteria for hiring decision making
A clear understanding of regulatory requirements
A relationship with a team of creative copy writers
A detailed understanding of current and future marketplace trends
A process for identifying demographic targets
A conceptual map of the communications vehicles available for reaching demographic targets
A compelling story about the reasons this particular workplace is attractive
A job communications budget
A plan to measure the effectiveness of dollars spent on Recruiting
A database in which to collect data about potential employees
The ability to match job requirements against potential employees
A clear understanding of the supply-demand dynamics in the regions that will be recruited
Hiring Timeline objectives and a system to measure performance
A formal "vetting" process for new vendors

In other words, the development of a coherent Recruiting Strategy involves coming to a series of conclusions about sources and objectives.
