Entering Recruitment has to have been one of the most interesting things I've ever chosen to take on. 2 years in and my perspective on People and Australia hasn't changed necessarily but it's got more depth in the thought certainly. I've learnt that candidates are not complex people, hire efficiently, interview effectively, keep your lines of communication clear, everyone from CEO to Labourer prefers honesty over sugar coating or ghosting, the messenger might get shot Driving through Sydney seeing all these major builds from Tunnels to Airports and having hired for a few of the projects, you understand how many people that took to complete just in the paperwork alone not even considering the 50 to possibly 200 people it took to complete on the ground level. so i pass the buck to other recruiters in my network, blue or white collar, what's been some of the biggest perspective shifts you've found since entering the industry? #bluecollar #projects #recruitment Talent Focus Recruitment

What does a good recruitment process look like? Regardless of the type of job, level of seniority or sector, there are certain elements that must be done, and must be done well. Of course there are big differences in delivery for, say, a mid-level quick turnaround contractor to a strategic interim responsible for implementing a new project. Our recruitment process is tried, tested and proven and is the product of years of experience. https://lnkd.in/eAUatuZ5 The common ingredient running throughout the process, and the key to success, is good communication. Do you agree? What else is fundamental to a good recruitment process?

🚀 Attracting top talent starts with a positive candidate experience! 🛠️ In the fast-paced construction world, the recruitment process is more than a means to fill a position; it's the first brick in building a strong employer-employee relationship. As industry leaders, we must ensure that candidates feel valued and respected from the first touchpoint. 🔍 A well-structured recruitment process is key. It should be transparent, efficient, and communicative. Remember, candidates are assessing us as much as we are assessing them. They are looking for signs that our company is a place where they can grow, contribute, and feel at home. 🤝 Here are a few pointers to enhance the candidate experience: 1. Clear and concise job descriptions that reflect the true nature of the role. 2. Timely communication at every stage, keeping candidates informed and engaged. 3. Respectful interview practices that evaluate skills and acknowledge the candidate's potential. By investing in a positive recruitment experience, we're not just filling vacancies but building our reputation as a top employer in the construction industry. Regardless of the outcome, let's make every candidate feel like they're already part of the team. Because in construction, every interaction is an opportunity to build something lasting. #ConstructionRecruitment #CandidateExperience #BuildingTalent

Most firms get their hiring processes all wrong. I saw a post today and it caught my eyes. It went something like the reason why hiring is inefficient: Is the distrust between the below people ⬇ Hiring Managers Talent Acquisition Recruitment Agencies HR In some cases this might be very true. But it doesn't have to be this way. Good communication between all parties is crucial when improving hiring processes and reducing time to hire. Especially in the mission-critical industry when not getting the right people could push a project off course. We should all aim to work together to deliver a superb hiring experience for construction talent joining the project which will inturn make the company brand more attractive and make it more viable that you get the right skillsets fast. Do you agree?

A great meeting in Cookstown with Leon McHugh - CertRP and a client who had been very much using a reactive approach when it came to their recruitment process, with over 10 agencies being used in the last 8 months. They really took on board our advice and the benefits of nailing your PSL down to 1 or 2 recruitment partners: ♦️ Streamline Communication - 1/2 20 min job reg with the hiring manager, teams or face to face to nail down the role rather than 10, so we go to market with the exact info and sell the opportunity and your business to the best quality ♦️ Quality over Quantity- 5/6 cv’s rather than 30 with 80% not of standard, no overlaps or dealing with complaints of candidate ownership ♦️ Confidential and Control- not all roles are plain sailing or live to all, so using fewer numbers keeps the process more sensitive At Artemis Human Capital we see ourselves as an extra extension to your business and pride ourselves on long standing relationships, rather than seeing the recruitment process as a transaction. Couldn’t go to Cookstown and not try the new hotspot in Tyrone, Just a Wee Bakery, is a must try guys.
