Pass Probation with Bullhorn
In the recruitment industry, Paul is known for putting the Pro into Probation. Since Bullhorn was introduced at his agency two years ago, he’s used Bullhorn systems to become the top recruiter. At a recent mentoring session, Paul explained the importance of candidates passing probation. It’s not just a case of sourcing and placing top talent, but keeping that talent in place.
There are three parts to his plan for passing probation.
- Paul’s Five Ps for Successful Talent Placement
- Precision searching – recruiters must understand their targets in order to seize high-calibre talent.
- Professional skills – the right talent possesses appropriate skills for the post.
- Personality – ensure that there’s a good match between client and candidate.
- Probation – the candidate must pass probation, in order to maintain:
- Profitability for the recruiter.
Paul knows that recruiters concentrate on sourcing top talent for their clients. He also understands the risk of rush jobs. Recruiters are often under pressure to seek out and place candidates quickly. But what happens when the process is too rapid?
- Probation Pitfalls
Long-term aims become short-term actualities
Clients and candidates who don’t match are destined to part ways. If this happens too soon in the relationship, commission rebates will often apply.
Profitability plummets
When commissions are handed back to the client, the recruitment agency loses income.
Professional reputations are affected
When the candidate is a poor fit, this reflects negatively on the recruiter. In fact, this may lead to losing the client’s business.
Time is lost
The candidate has wasted time being trained for a position he or she is not suited for. The client is unhappy because it expended energy on the wrong person. Even if the recruiter manages to retain the job, at best, he’s back to square one.
To avoid probation pitfalls, Paul the Probation Pro employs his secret weapon: Bullhorn.
