Recruitment is the process of identifying the need for a job, defining the requirements of the position and the job holder, advertising the position and choosing the most appropriate person for the job.
Finding the right person for a job is a challenge.
There are two strategies.
Farming: You work with a small pool of candidates for skills that niche or specialist. You keep the candidates engaged with market trends, multiple job opportunities and always work with them to ensure they get the right job. This is a lengthy process and candidate management and people skills are of key importance.
Hunting: In high paid roles that are difficult to fill, the hunter is constantly sharpening his/her skills to find talent. Your networking and search capabilities are top-notch. Every role is a challenge and some can be very time-consuming. The ability to wait for the right kill is very important as you want your client to be presented with the best candidates that the market has to offer.
What is the best strategy?
An 80-20% mix is a great strategy to have. I would personally go with 80% hunting and 20% farming.
Happy recruiting!
