What is Recruitment?
Recruitment involves sourcing, interviewing and hiring candidates for job opportunities within an organisation. A recruitment agency like Get Recruited acts as the middle man between those who are looking for a role and those who are looking to hire.
A recruitment agency’s role is to match job opportunities with candidates from their database or talent pool. They save employers time and effort in the hiring process by taking care of the initial recruitment stages.
At Get Recruited UK, we aren't the average recruitment agency, we use a blend of technology and human touch to ensure that the individuals we work with are not just filling a vacancy, but are taking a role that will help to build their career in a way that resonates with their core values. This is one of the fueling factors behind our ‘Powered by People’ motto.
Recruitment agencies are extremely important in today’s job market as there are many things they can do that a normal hiring team cannot.
Here at Get Recruited, we have access to a large talent pool of candidates and we work on a 90% referral basis. This means we have access to candidates who wouldn’t be found on typical job boards.
Because of Get Recruited UK’s large talent pool, we have access to passive candidates. Those who are not actively job-seeking but may be open to new opportunities.
We specialise in Sales, Finance, Marketing, Insurance, and Commercial recruitment. This means our specialist recruitment consultants spend the time getting to know the needs of your business and understanding what’s important to you.
The Recruitment Process:
Job Analysis is the first step, at Get Recruited we will clearly define the job requirements, responsibilities, qualifications and skills needed for the position. This information is used to create an accurate and detailed job description.
Sourcing Candidates is next, our recruiters will first look in our internal database, and then they will source candidates through other channels such as job boards, networks, referrals, LinkedIn etc.
Once candidates have applied, they will be screened by our recruiters here at Get Recruited. Candidates who meet the minimum qualifications and requirements for the role will be placed on a shortlist.
These shortlisted candidates will then speak to our recruiters, learn more about the role, talk about their skills and experience.
Once both the recruiter and the candidate are happy, their CV will be sent over to the company that is hiring, if they are happy with the candidate an interview will be arranged.
Before any interviews our recruiters here at Get Recruited ensure to brief each candidate fully, on things such as who will be interviewing them, what their role is in the company, tips on how to answer tricky questions, where the interview will be held etc. They make sure each candidate is prepared and ready to perform at their best in the interview.
Based on the interview, successful candidates will be called with the good news and presented with a job offer.
Once the candidate accepts the job offer, the onboarding process can begin.
Benefits of Getting Recruited
Tips on getting recruited:
Tailor your CV:
With each application you make, alter the copy of your CV to match the specific job you are applying for. Highlight the skills, experiences and accomplishments that are the most relevant to the role.
Prepare:
Along with one of our recruiters at Get Recruited helping you with interview preparations, you will need to prepare in your own time. Research the company and role, practice answering common interview questions and prepare some questions to ask the interviewer.
