How to run a one person Recruitment company!

We have in reality witnessed how one person can actually run a recruitment company that traditionally would require at least 5 recruiters to generate the same amount of business.

The secret lies in using a set of automated tools that primarily automate the operational and coordination tasks that a recruiter does. Largest amount of time spent by the recruiter is in reaching out to candidates, talking to them to ascertain their interest, assessing them for suitability and once short listed, following up with them to organize interviews, be it with internal hiring managers or with client’s hiring managers.

80% of the coordination is spent on the first connect and screening! because calls have to made again and again to ensure full coverage to the set of CVs carefully sourced from job portals or through job postings. Candidates usually do not pick up calls during office hours or if they do, they tend to push it for later in the evening or the next day. If next day again if they happen to be busy, they will skip the recruiter call again without bothering about their promise. Now if the Candidate finds 8 pm the best time to do job calls, the recruiter is not available to make those calls at that time and hence loosing out on probably a best fit candidate.

So how can this task be automated? There is a solution, what if the recruiter inputs the phone numbers in tool and sets a few questions. What if the tool made either instant calls or scheduled calls to the Candidates. What if the tool made followup calls at regular intervals, what if the tool tracked who returned the calls and finally what if the tool did a quick automated interview of the Candidate on the pre set questions?

If the tool worked as above then the recruiter would know which Candidate is interested, which Candidate did the best interview, which Candidate has Competency and Communication skills as required by the job etc and the greatest part here being that the recruiter did not even have to physically call the Candidates to achieve this. As the responses start coming in, the recruiter now can share the right profiles with the hiring manager along with a copy of their answers and voice recording. The hiring manager is now happy because they get WYSWYG (what you see is what you get) responses and to make shortlisting that is nearly ‘first time right’!

Reckrut.com is one such tool or probably only such tool today. Recruiters who are using it say that it reduces their screening efforts by over 90%! One of the founder/owner of a Placement company says “Reckrut is like having a Recruiter, who works 24/7 without getting tired, without any attitude, without any incentives and without ever falling sick! Only thing it doesn’t do is – Smile!”…
