Giving the right information
Clients need to understand that in order for recruiters to do their job effectively, they need the right information, and the success of placing the right candidate is based upon this fact. Every recruitment assignment is unique. If the information is general and covers a broad base, this can potentially waste both the client and recruiter’s time going through dozens of unsuitable submissions with a hit and miss approach.
So what information is required from a client?
• The purpose of the job function, and the title thereof
• Who the candidate would be reporting to
• Duties and responsibilities
• Educational requirements
• The amount of years experience required
• ‘Knock out’ factors if relevant
• Salary and benefits
• Potential Growth prospects
• Urgency of the positions/start date
• Reason for the vacancy
