The Most Overlooked Fact About HR Recruitment Services Revealed

Three decades ago HR Recruitment service acted as a supplementary to organizations. Today, in the 21st century, it is widely accepted as a ‘Profession’ rather than just an add-on. Companies are looking for fast-solution providers in forms of HR professionals who not only sell Job descriptions to the candidates but also initiate the ‘performance driven’ culture after they become a part of the organization.

“Dealing with HR professionals requires a level of understanding of the technical elements of the role. That needs to be at the forefront of every consultant’s mind.

“You need a thorough understanding of HR within the business and what different HR departments do. Every organization splits roles within its department differently, different disciplines can sit within different job functions. For instance, learning and development and talent management might be co-located in one company. In another they’re separate. In a small company, an HR generalist might cover everything.

“But because you are talking to individuals who are recruiters themselves, effectively they do what we do. So we need to know what they do very well. To be used by HR in the first place is a bit of a tick in the box, because they might be thinking they could do it themselves, particularly within HR resourcing”, saidJane Shaw, director of Resource Innovations, a high-end specialist HR recruiter . (http://www.recruiter.co.uk/archive/part-27/Secrets-of-HR-recruitment/)
HR Recruitment Services entail the following process:

1) Discuss why line managers need candidates and Identify Vacancy.
2) Develop an apt Job Description.
3) Develop a Recruitment model for Bulk/ General Hiring.
4) Select appropriate staff for search and investigation of references.
5) Post position and formulate recruitment plan.
6) Review Applicants and Develop Shortlisting criteria.
7) Conduct Interviews.
8) Select the Candidate.
9) Finalize Recruitment.

There are few challenges that Recruiters face even after placing the right candidates in the right place. For HR Recruitment Service providers, it becomes increasingly hectic to recruit without expecting any ‘thanks’ in return. Hence, most of the time they lack motivation to make the recruitment process a joyous one. Apart from that, an increased global exposure has introduced a professional transformation for recruiters that demand them to be ‘world-class’ in terms of employee management and streamline updates within the Human Resource management department to meet the requirements.

Strategic prioritization has downsized the capabilities and manpower within the Human Resource Management department due to the emergence of new technological systems that are posing challenges to many recruiters. Some of them rationalize the concept of new system by adapting themselves, learning new modes of communication and people management while others simply find it easier to confine themselves to staffing roles. Here, the question arises on whether HR recruitment services will reach the desired after-effect they are aiming for in the next decade along with these challenges or not?

Courtenay HR MD Gareth Jones believes, “The way the market works now is fundamentally different from even five or six years ago because now the internet has bedded in and is becoming increasingly useful, the market is much more competitive. Yet the traditional recruitment business model, unchanged for 30 years, may also be facing change. Interim management is getting bigger, clients are doing their own direct hiring. How do you continue to justify a price model when the market changes around you?

“It’s not about hiring bodies any more. It’s about working with organizations to build talent communities. Then our job becomes managing and refreshing that community, rather than going out and placing people on an ad hoc basis to fill those jobs. I believe the real challenge is: we’ve got to put ourselves in a different place. Change is coming. Yet a lot of businesses either in HR or general search models still have their heads in the sand.”  (recruiter.co.uk)
