If you want to win
in your own recruitment business –
try not to lose the candidate!
Does that sound obvious? Or are you intrigued as to what it really means? Let’s start with a fact. Recent findings indicate something quite alarming.
60 % of candidates quit an application process because it took too long.
Working backwards through the implications of that it’s plain to see that applicants who don’t hang around long enough to complete the application process are lost to your client. And that means lost to you. Which means lost income. Not to mention lost reputation. So far so bad.
Now develop the point further. Why was the application process too long? Either the client has not reviewed and sharpened up their procedure recently, to make it accessible and competitive, or it’s the recruitment company at fault for having a bad system themselves.
The answer to both problems is that a good recruitment company should a) have invested the time and customer service to advise and guide the client and/or b)invested the time and expertise in having their own systems and processes up to speed.
Here’s the rub. If you’re a start up recruitment business you have a vital opportunity to do all of that, and shine. The conundrum is that because you’re a start up you don’t have the time to spare, nor systems in place, to make it happen. You’re too busy, being a start up. And quite busy missing opportunities too. So you lose the candidate. And you don’t shine.
At the Recruit Venture Group we make sure that the start ups we help have the best systems and administration available. They have full access to our back office, and our back up.
And because they have that level of administration at their finger tips they have the time to be hands on with their clients, guiding them on recruitment procedures, updating their systems and enhancing their employer brand. Which means they really shine. And win business. And don’t lose candidates.
It’s only part of the package of course. We also provide 100%, risk free, funding to launch a business, and then work with them to establish premises, create a brand and get a foothold in the market.
Our partners’ run their own businesses. They have shares in their company, draw dividends and pay themselves a salary.
We stay there, updating them on industry trends and legal changes, which in turn allows them to keep their clients informed and be seen as venues of knowledge and excellence.
We need to know that people who come to us have had five years continuous experience in recruitment and that they’ve specialised in a specific sector for around three years. But then, without that sort of cv you wouldn’t be looking to do this anyway. Would you?
Would you want to run your own recruitment business with that level of backing? Would you want to shine by delivering outstanding customer service? Would you be able to deliver that service better if you had the time to do it – because you were so well supported?
Off course you would.
