Who Needs Full Service Hiring?

in /by

Full Service Hiring can be a huge help to HR teams. HR professionals tasked with recruitment know how difficult it is to find and hire the right talent. They are often pulled here, there, and everywhere to collaborate with other departments — someone always needs HR’s help! Unfortunately, this often results in recruitment activities that do not get the focus and time required for successful hiring.

Time is of the essence when hiring. Open positions result in lost productivity and money for the company. Key talent might land at your competitor if the hiring process is too long or presents candidates with a negative experience. With so much at stake, it’s helpful to ask yourself a few key questions about whether Full Service Hiring is a good fit for your organization.

 

Key Considerations for Full Service Hiring

  • Are you failing to attract enough qualified applicants for your open positions?
  • Are you observing a high candidate drop off rate in the hiring process?
  • Are you taking too long to screen and qualify applicants? 
  • Do you struggle to quickly communicate with applicants and schedule interviews?
  • Is your HR department focused on other duties that take the focus off the hiring process? 

All of these items and more can impede your recruitment efforts. This is where our team can save the day. Led by a team of SHRM certified strategists, a Full Service Hiring team works with companies from start to finish on hiring projects that companies need help with. Here’s how…

 

Full Service Hiring Process

Full Service Hiring is a personalized experience. Our team works with you to learn about your company and what makes an applicant the best fit for your culture. With that understanding, they craft an engaging and descriptive job ad that attracts the right job seekers. They then post and manage your job ad in the right places to convert interested job seekers into applicants.

To boost your application conversion rates, the team examines your job application to create an optimized application experience. As the applications are received, the team reviews each application and a member of the team conducts an initial screening interview to determine if they are a good fit for your organization and vacant role(s).  

On a rolling basis, the team delivers every qualified candidate to you, engaged and ready for your consideration. You make the final decision whether to hire, interview further, or withhold from consideration.

Full Service Hiring Vs. Recruiting Agency

Full Service Hiring is not to be confused with a recruiting agency, which can charge high fees based on a percentage of each new hire’s annual salary. In contrast, our team functions as an extension of your organization through a defined scope of work. This work is provided for the entire term of the agreement for one affordable flat fee. Our fee can save you up to 70% on hiring when compared to a recruiting agency. Additionally, you are able to make an unlimited number of hires for that one fee–this means the savings compared to a recruiting agency can really add up!

Is Full Service Hiring for me?

Let’s examine five workplace scenarios where Full Service Hiring can help a company save time and money on its way to successful hiring.

 

Scenario 1 – My company lacks internal resources for hiring!

Are you a one-person HR team tasked with recruiting, hiring, onboarding, benefits, training, and all the other tasks and responsibilities assigned to “the HR Department”? Even if your company has an HR team, the intensity and amount of operational and strategic tasks that exist can be daunting.

Businesses that need to focus on strategic functions can outsource the recruitment process to ExactHire’s Team to save time and money. Let them complete the recruiting tasks while you focus on completing strategic initiatives. When the Full Service Hiring team coordinates the recruiting process, your company will have more time to focus on strategic initiatives to strengthen your competitive edge and promote growth.  

 

Scenario 2 – My company hires often!

Is there a lot of turnover within your organization? Is your organization growing with the need for more talent?  Do you simply not have the time to spend on hiring? Open up time for other duties by working with ExactHire. 

The Full Service Hiring team will collaborate with you to address your frequent hiring needs and learn about your culture. As a job opening develops within your company, the Full Service Hiring team will spring into action by first learning what you are looking for in your ideal candidates for this new position. The relationship built between your company and the Full Service Hiring team provides a solid foundation to prepare for anticipated and unexpected hiring needs. 

Scenario 3 – My company does not hire often!

Does your company have a high employee retention rate? Companies with low turnover or who rarely hire might not be as adept in the intricacies of recruiting if it is not a process engaged in often. 

When was your company’s job application reviewed for brevity and clarity? The Full Service Hiring Team will work closely with you to examine your application. We will make sure it collects what you need while delivering a positive application process for applicants.

Haven’t posted a job in awhile? It is important to know your target audience, so the Full Service Hiring team will make sure your job ad will be posted to the right job boards, and that it is visible to the right job seekers.  

 

Scenario 4 – My company hires high volume!

Do you hire for seasonal roles?  Do you have a new project that needs multiple employees?  The Full Service Hiring team understands the demands of high volume hiring. We will work to find the candidates that you need.  No “per hire” fee with Full Service Hiring…one flat fee provides unlimited hires under that umbrella which is a huge cost savings for your company.  

 

Scenario 5 – My company needs to fill niche jobs!

Need to hire for a hard-to-fill role? Let the Full Service Hiring team handle those roles. Our team has access to over 25,000 job boards to post your hard-to-fill role in order to reach an expanded audience of potential applicants. Your job ad will be shared with nationally recognized job boards and industry-specific boards to reach a larger applicant pool. Specialties are the Full Service Hiring team’s specialty!

Whether you belong to an HR team, or you are an HR department of one, it is easy to become consumed with countless duties delegated to HR.

What is Full Service Hiring?

in /by

Finding talent to fill job openings within an organization is not an easy task. Most human resources professionals can attest to this. Candidly, the recruitment process can be a hassle. Full Service Hiring can greatly help with these issues!

Technology can simplify recruitment tasks and processes, but this does not guarantee the desired results. Hiring success requires more than just a software solution. It requires expertise and quality human-to-human interactions.

Why Your Hiring Process Fails

There are a number of reasons why your hiring process may fail in producing your desired results. These include:

  • Job seekers are not applying to your jobs because the job ads are not compelling.
  • Your job ads fail to reach enough job seekers.
  • You are inundated with applicants that fail to meet your minimum requirements. 
  • Your qualified applicants drop out of the process without notice or reason (ghosting).

The above experiences may extend your hiring process into a months-long slog, or even force you to restart the process at square one when openings are not filled. That leads to a loss of time/productivity for hiring managers (who have other full-time duties), which can translate to reduced customer satisfaction–and ultimately, profit.

But there’s a way to get off the hamster wheel of inefficient hiring, and use your time for more strategic efforts that can positively impact the bottom line. That’s where Full Service Hiring comes in!

What is Full Service Hiring?

Full Service Hiring is a managed service solution that helps employers realize hiring success by removing the time-consuming, yet vital, hiring tasks that require expertise and personal touch.

ExactHire, a leader in employment software and services, provides this solution for companies that either need additional people power, or that want to transition their work entirely to a proven outsource partner.

Full Service Hiring Vs. Recruiting Agency

Full Service Hiring places a team of SHRM certified strategists in charge of managing much of the recruiting process, but this is distinct from a recruiting agency in a few key ways:

Cost

A recruiting agency often charges a fee of 20-30% per hire of the hire’s annual salary. Full Service Hiring is not based on a per hire recruiting fee. Instead, it is based on an affordable, flat fee that is up to 72% lower than a recruiting agency.

Results 

A recruiting agency often delivers two or three candidates to a client for final consideration. Full Service Hiring hands off every qualified applicant that meets your hiring criteria. You can then choose to hire as many candidates as you need for that one, flat fee.

Employer Brand

The Full Service Hiring team works on behalf of your organization and represents your employer brand to the job market. This means that your job ads promote and leverage your company brand–not that of a third party recruiting agency. This is especially important for large, ongoing hiring initiatives that seek to build awareness around your career opportunities.

How does Full Service Hiring work?

First off, Full Service Hiring provides a customized solution within a time-tested framework. The Full Service Hiring team works closely with you and your internal team to learn the details of your hiring process and how your company is different from your competitors.

Additionally, the team understands that the ideal candidate will differ slightly for each job opening. So they take the time to learn what makes an ideal candidate for each of your openings, and for your organization’s culture as a whole.

Once the team has learned about the qualities, skills, credentials, and other pertinent details essential (or optional) for the job opening, the team moves into action.

Below are the main phases of Full Service Hiring:

Write Job Ads

Leave the wordsmithing to the Full Service Hiring team. They are thoroughly knowledgeable in how to craft attention-getting, informative job ads that convert job seekers into applicants. 

Buzzwords and jargon are left out in favor of straight-forward language that highlights the benefits of working for your organization in a role that aligns with a job seeker’s career interests. Job ads will also be neutral and free of words that could generate unconscious bias.

Optimize Job Application 

The Full Service Hiring team reviews company job applications and identifies ways to increase applicant conversions. Does the application collect essential information from the applicant? Is the application too long? Is the application process quick and mobile friendly for the applicant? 

The Full Service Hiring team will evaluate the application to make it an optimal application experience for candidates resulting in a conversion rate boost.  

Promote Job Ads

It’s time to promote the finely crafted job ad to the world. But you don’t want just anyone applying; you want the most qualified people applying.  

With access to up to 25,000 job sites, the Full Service Hiring team will post and manage job ads on sites that will produce the results you need.The team analyzes data and measures traffic to identify the most relevant job boards for your job openings. 

It’s reassuring to know that there is a team of professionals monitoring where your company’s jobs are being posted and how they are performing. 

Screen Applicants

The applicants are flowing in, so it’s time for the our team to evaluate them. 

The team uses the initial hiring criteria you provided to identify all qualified candidates for your job opening. All members of the Full Service Hiring team are SHRM certified and have years of experience working in and around HR, so you can be assured that this process is both thorough and objective.

Applications do not sit for days, waiting for review. The team quickly jumps into action as applicants apply to your job ad. Applications are reviewed, and a member of the Full Service Hiring team can schedule and conduct initial interviews to determine if they are a good fit for your organization and job opening. 

Personalized, timely communication is essential to a successful hiring process, and the Full Service Hiring team is committed to delivering this with every job opening, and every job applicant.

Review Candidates and Make Hiring Decisions

After applicants are screened, the Full Service Hiring team will deliver you all qualified candidates, in real time, giving you a steady stream of the most qualified candidates available for your final consideration. You decide the next steps. 

Will you interview again? Will you reject? Or will you hire on-the-spot?  The decision is YOURS, and the Full Service Hiring team will be there to provide insight as needed.
