Sticking to old-school recruitment methods—like only looking at CVs, using cookie-cutter job ads, and boring onboarding routines—just doesn’t work anymore. These outdated practices are not only inefficient but also scare off top talent. It’s time to adopt a recruitment approach that’s inclusive, engaging, and tech-savvy.
A strong recruitment strategy does more than just fill seats. It shows off your brand, aligns with your culture, and pulls in the crème de la crème of potential candidates. Plus, a smooth and consistent process screams stability—who wouldn’t want to join a well-oiled machine? Standardised procedures? They save time, money, and headaches, getting new hires onboarded without the fuss. And a great start means happier employees who stick around longer.
According to TINYpulse, employees are 23% more likely to stick around if their manager clearly explains their roles and responsibilities. It's all about making sure people know what's expected of them from day one.
Starting off on the wrong foot can lead to all sorts of problems like poor communication, misunderstandings about company culture, and wasted time. So, it’s crucial to ask the right questions during onboarding to make sure everything is crystal clear and to keep employees engaged throughout their time with the company.
