Preparing for the Upturn
By: Christine Hirsch

Corporate earnings are up, layoffs have slowed, and economic forecasts look positive. All signs point to a revitalized hiring climate that will gain steam as the year progresses. Are recruiters ready for the surge? The economic recovery will challenge recruiters to stay on top of the game by leveraging networks and continually retooling their hiring processes. Those that stayed lean and kept productive in the down market can now utilize those skills to stay competitive. Following are our top suggestions for preparing for the upturn:

Evaluate Recruiting Processes

As business picks up, recruiters need to have processes in place to handle incoming job orders. All individuals in the recruiting process need to be on the same page -- from outreach coordinators to hiring managers. Talk with your team about current recruiting trends and what has and hasn't worked in the past. This will help you pinpoint areas that need to be augmented or excluded. Some specific areas to look at include: IT, outreach, interviewing, position descriptions, benefits, new employee training, and salaries.
