Superficial reasons why staffing and recruiting firms don’t want to consider a RPO Partner! 🤷‍♀️ Staffing companies are the pillars of recruitment in today's day. Choosing a RPO partner can be a difficult task for staffing and recruiting firms, but rejecting them on superficial reasons, might just be a tad bit more! Some superficial reasons that staffing and recruiting firms consider while rejecting a RPO Partner are: ·        Brand Perception: It is crucial that the RPO partner’s brand values align with your firm’s image. However, rejecting them solely based on branding might not be justified. Consider other critical factors such as business ethics, the availability of a pilot program, and additional operational support included in their pricing model ·        Location: While the RPO partner’s location is important for organizations needing onshore support, if your business operations do not require this, offshore RPO partners can be equally effective. Emerging global trends highlight India, the Philippines, and Mexico as key hubs for recruitment process outsourcing due to their skilled labor and cost efficiencies. ·        Company Size: Evaluating an RPO partner based on their size alone may overlook their true potential to deliver talent. Large RPO firms with numerous clients may struggle with overcapacity, whereas smaller RPOs might excel due to their focused resources and advanced talent acquisition tools. ·        Industry Niche: An RPO not specializing in specific sectors like IT, healthcare, or Accounting does not mean they lack the capability to source candidates in these fields. RPO providers with multi-industry expertise often possess comprehensive knowledge of candidate behavior and can efficiently fill open roles across various domains. ·        Pricing Models: If an RPO's pricing model seems expensive, it’s important to understand that higher costs may reflect investments in quality infrastructure, advanced communication tools, premium job board access, operational support, and cutting-edge technology. Considering these aspects, evaluate the ROI and the overall value they bring to your recruitment process. #recruitmentoutsourcing #recruimentprocess #businessoutsourcing #businesstransformation #rpo #growthstrategies

Why are there so many TA pros on the market??????? There so many talented TA folks on the market and many have been out there waaaay tooooo long...... Are we letting go TA pros for the right reasons? I suspect TA is taking a bullet & being thrown under the bus for lack of candidates, bad hires & turnover? In reality, companies need to look inward & figure out where the real issues lie. I assure you it's NOT solely on TA. The reality is typically lack of involvement by Hiring Managers (HM's.) Let me be clear, I am NOT trying to throw HM's under the bus. I understand they have a big job & lots of balls in the air. This leaves little time for HM's to help TA departments understand their needs. I suspect most HM's are just shooting a title or job description & saying “find me someone.” HM's, like TA departments, have really big jobs & very little extra time. I think we all get that….right? HM's need to spend more time w/ TA up front. That time would be made up on the back end & would be a game changer in the entire process. It just takes a little more effort on the front end. After a hire has been made, HM's spend way too much time: ⌛​onboarding wrong hires ⌛​training wrong hires ⌛​trying to save wrong hires ⌛​documenting & conducting performance plans for wrong hires ⌛defending claims from terminated wrong hires ⌛​replacing bad hires It's a revolving door! You have to slow down in order to speed up! If HM's could spend a little more time up front, TA would have a greater understanding of their business & be better equipped to source more quality candidates. Up front HM's should spend time w/ TA: ✔️​Communicating very clear expectations about the role, its not just a job description ✔️​Be open & honest about the struggles/challenges w/ the department/role ✔️Shorten response time to TA about submitted candidates, TA has worked hard to find the candidates only to lose them because the process is too slow ✔️​Move a candidate quickly w/in their department if interested in a candidate, or again you will lose them because things move to slow ✔️​Be active during the process, don't disappear on TA & candidates (this really harms the process & your brand) ✔️Be very clear on compensations parameters ✔️Do NOT make low ball offers If HM's want to reduce their pain the answer is simple….spend more time up front w/ TA. You will make up this time on the back end with: ❇️​better candidates faster ❇️candidates are more qualified ❇️positions filled quicker ❇️​decreased turnover ❇️a stronger team/better work force ❇️probably save more time than you have lost ❇️save money Give it a shot? You have nothing to lose but more time! If you need support to understand this process, give me a shout, I’m happy to help! #hiring #recruitment #talent #talentacquisition #HR #humanresources #recruiting #recruiter #turneover #hiringmanagers #leadership #badhires

Why You Need a VA A VA is a multitasker who juggles the daily business tasks and the dirty work so you can focus on growing your company. In many cases, the VA is the first employee you need to hire as they’ll increase your efficiency and help you recruit and manage the rest of the team. Working with a VA is also a good way to train yourself to delegate and practice giving clear instructions—a skill every leader must have. By earning your VA’s loyalty, you’ll have a partner to rely on in the face of adversity. You’ll be able to focus on the big problems, knowing the small ones are well handled and your company is continuously moving forward. Can a VA do that? Yes. Let’s take a few examples: 1- Shopify/logistics: If you run a store on Shopify, your VA can manage the inventory and the logistics and ensure orders fulfillment. 2- Product scouting: For many businesses, a VA can screen the market to obtain new products for your portfolio. 3- Travel/Schedule Reminders: If you hate to manage your schedule or need to find the most affordable flight ticket, your VA can handle it. 4- Sales DMing: Given clear instructions, your VA can make cold calls and reach out to potential prospects who might want to schedule a meeting with you. 5- Product onboarding: Especially for a software product, you’ll need your VA to onboard new customers and demonstrate the product features to them. 6- Executive assistant: The VA is also a great executive assistant that can take care of tasks such as data entry, research, managing your email, or taking meeting notes. How to Hire a VA Besides being a culture fit and having good English and communication skills, how can you distinguish the right candidate? Keep an eye out for: - Organizational skills: The main purpose of delegating is to free your mind and time, so don’t hire someone you’ll need to babysit. Find a self-reliable VA that knows how to organize their tasks and get their job done without your help. - Technical skill: You might need your VA to arrange a meeting, manage an event, book tickets, or research potential affiliates. All this requires computer and web skills. If you’re working with a specific CRM software or eCommerce platform (such as Zendesk or Shopify) you need a VA who’s familiar with them. - Industry-awareness: As a product specialist, the VA must understand your industry and know how to get around with vendors and other business partners. Since VAs work on a wide range of tasks, they tend to have diverse skill sets, so be clear about your goals and expectations during the interviews (and in the job post). Don’t shy away from giving your candidates a relative task. It can be as simple as doing an internet search or transcribing an audio file. Let’s Recap Unless you want to spend your days doing menial work that stresses you out, you need a VA. Finding the right VA requires paying close attention to the hiring process.

The best recruiters are transparent throughout the hiring process. But why is this so important in recruitment?   Transparency and open communication fosters trust, helping to manage our candidate's expectations about the role, responsibilities, compensation package, benefits, and company culture.   Here at Faststream Recruitment Group, FRAME Recruitment, and GOOSE Recruitment, we believe that if our candidates have a clear understanding of what the job entails and the recruitment process they are in, they can make more informed decisions about whether the opportunity aligns with their career goals and preferences. This applies not only to individuals choosing us as their next employer but also to those who are unsure if our company aligns with their career aspirations.   Check out the kind recommendation below from Cameron Gorrie who recently joined the business. It's always great to get positive feedback and know as a business we are giving a great candidate experience.    If you're interested in learning more about our business and are looking to have a confidential and transparent conversation, feel free to drop me a message. I'd like to arrange a chat with you.   #TestimonialTuesday #CandidateFeedback #RecruitmentCareers #Transparency #HiringProcess #HiringNow #Faststream25 #FRAME25 #FaststreamGroup25

Do you work for an agency in NY or Northern Jersey that hires for remote jobs? If so, I have about 30+ Commercial and Personal Lines Account Managers who need help from LinkedIn! Everyone is moving back to hybrid/in-office, and I have a ton of P&C licensed, experienced Commercial and Personal Lines Account Managers with stable work histories who simply don't want to go back, and I don't blame them! Remote jobs are competitive. Simply put, there just aren't enough to go around! If your agency will interview experienced (5+ years), P&C licensed account managers who have a stable work history, and experience working remotely .. I know about 30 people who could use your help. If you own or work for an independent agency that hires for remote jobs, send me a DM with your agency name so I can try to connect more people to more agencies and keep my candidates in their PJs. 😂

PSA for Recruiters / HR / TA (or anyone) responsible for posting jobs.. Don't post a job as "remote" and then include the following type of disclaimer in the JD section- (real example below) Sales Director - NY (Remote) **Must be based in Buffalo, Syracuse, or Rochester** If you are requiring candidates to live close to the office for potential visits, etc, then the job is NOT remote and is misleading to those job-seekers whom are searching for remote as criteria. Remote = Work from anywhere Hybrid = Partial in office and WFH In-office = Self- explanatory
