Research
Part
I: Getting the Most Out of Recruiting Research Firms |
| By:
Christine
Hirsch |
|
Finding
qualified candidates is the definitive task of the
recruiter. Recruiters accomplish this task through
a variety of methods: on the web, at conferences or
networking events, in line at the supermarket, or
even at the local coffee shop. Sometimes, however,
a more targeted search is needed. For specialized
positions that call for candidates with niche skills,
the expertise of a recruiting research firm may be
required.
Case
in point: a major food-service company is looking
for a new chief procurement officer -- fast. As the
company's in-house staff is relatively inexperienced,
the client prefers to recruit from outside the company.
The candidate must have existing relationships with
top vendors, thorough knowledge of industry standards,
and some management experience. Placed
in the above situation, the recruiter quickly realizes
that candidates with the required skills aren't just
hanging around the unemployment office. The only acceptable
candidates are likely employed by the company's competitors.
Faced
with the daunting task of quickly uncovering a cadre
of qualified passive candidates, it may be time to
engage the services of a recruiting research firm.

Top
Strategies from the EMA
By: Recruiters World Special
Reports |
|
Economic
slowdown or not, the war for talent is alive, well, and
in many industries and regions, as bruising as ever.
The
need to keep waging and winning the talent war was evident
everywhere at recruiting's preeminent event, the recent
Employment Management Association (EMA) conference, set
in Chicago. From a show of hands at one session, (revealing
that a majority of the audience was still busy hiring),
to presentations on economics and demographics, (pointing
to long-term labor shortages courtesy of ongoing job creation
and imminent Baby Boomer retirements), EMA speakers offered
their take on the hiring climate.

One
industry that hasn’t slowed its hiring in 2001 is healthcare.
Talk to anyone in an administrative position at a hospital
and they will tell you that their #1 priority is finding
and hiring qualified healthcare professionals. Aside from
the nursing shortage, hospitals need physicians, clinicians,
pharmacists, administrators, technicians, therapists, transcriptionists,
and the list goes on. Medimorphus.com caters directly to
the needs of this high-demand community.

Timely
Tips: Using Resume infoFinder Gold
Tracking
Resumes Submitted for Review
|
|
Why
is it so challenging to track resumes that you distribute
to clients or colleagues for review? It doesn't have to
be -- not if you manage things up front.
One
of the many useful features of Resume
infoFinder Gold is its ability to e-mail resumes mined
on the Internet. Single or multiple resumes can be distributed
instantly when you select the program's Options/E-mail
function. Working with your Outlook, Lotus Notes,
or other e-mail program, Resume infoFinder Gold automatically
creates a new e-mail message and attaches the selected resume(s)
to it. Once Resume Gold creates the message, use your e-mail
program as usual to select recipients and personalize the
text.
