In this course,
we cover:
BACKEND PREPARATION
First, craft the perfect job description. It must be both enticing and accurate to effectively find the right candidates. After that, assemble your hiring team. You want people with different personalities, demographics, and levels of management.
TALENT SCOUTING
Talent scouting happens over many platforms. We start with where to look on the Internet for the right candidates (CareerBuilder, Monster, Glassdoor, and Indeed mostly). We also cover other "guerrilla" tactics for finding candidates (universities, personal connections, etc).
SCREENING
You can find out a lot about someone by looking at their social media. Doing this sooner rather than later will help you find the people who care about their image to employers, and you’ll figure out who is and who is not worth your time before you waste your time on people who are not serious about the position.
THE INITIAL PHONE CALL
This is not when you spend 45 minutes to an hour asking about work history and aspirations. Make sure they can hold a conversation, and can answer a few simple questions. Call them out of the blue, don’t allow them to prepare.
ASSESSMENTS
Next, send a personality assessment. See how quickly they can respond to an assignment. It’s important that your staff is made up of a lot of different types of personalities so you can have both the creative dreamers and the detail-oriented organizers.
FACE-TO-FACE
We have two portions to the face to face experience. Be sure to choose questions that align with the position they are applying for and your agency's vision statement. Steer clear of cheesy, cliché questions.
THE OFFER LETTER AND 90-DAY TRIAL
Make the winner an offer and let them know you will be sending over a formal offer letter. At first, everyone is on a 90-day "trial run." Why? 1. To see if they fit into the culture, 2. To see if they are as good in practice as they are on paper, and 3. To give them a motivating factor and a target to aim for as they move forward.
