What should #recruiters do during an epidemic?

Recruitment is a sales function period. Just that it is under the HR department.

So what should a recruiter do during tough times! If you haven't face the 2008 recession, read below.

Ask yourself if you are a hunter or a farmer?

If you are a hunter, you might want to sharpen your nails for the next kill as it is going to be a tough market once things become normal.

• Connect: use your LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook or whatever platforms you use to connect with potential candidates.

• Engage: you haven't had time to connect with your previously placed candidates, now is the right time.

• Brand: To brand or not to brand is not an option anymore, the HR department especially the recruitment function has to take branding seriously. Decide what processes you can streamline to make the customer experience better.

I guess a farmer to can follow the above steps as in a crisis your contractors will be looking at other opportunities if they are uncomfortable with their current job. You might want to know who is looking to jump ship as soon as the economy starts to pick up.

Happy hunting! Stay Safe| You Are Awesome!
