Following
on from the other week’s instalment…
When
searching for candidates you sometimes have to go through a lot of frogs before
finding the ONE. But to avoid lip chafing and a lot of time wasting, you need
to find the best way to do this. Is outsourcing the way to go, or is it
e-recruitment systems, perhaps a new PA? There are multiple ways and finding
one that is cost-effective, and works for you, is critical to your recruitment.
So,
let’s talk outsourcing.
A few
girlfriends and I were sitting around the house one night updating my online
profile and we decided then to try outsourcing… for dates! I’m serious, any
“prospective” dates had to be filtered through by my friends, they would
shortlist and then I would date. Very similar to how one may decide to
outsource finding candidates.
Key in
ensuring this worked is that a) my friends needed a brief from me, b)
they understood who I am and what I was looking for and c) I was
confidant in their skills to trust them. This is how outsourcing works. Finding
that person or team who understand your company, your needs and who can act on
your behalf to find the prince among the frogs.
Ultimately,
the call was on me to pick my final dates but I had a fine selection of
potential candidates handed to me – and if I do say a handsome bunch to boot.
Want to
know about the dates… well… let’s just say one of the shortlisted candidates
that was selected is now in a happy relationship – with me.
