The REAL Recruitment Challenge has nothing to do with Candidate Availability

Every hiring company faces the same problem; How to cost effectively attract and hire the best candidates for vacancies quickly and easily. With the emergence of social networking sites (Linkedin etc), visibility of candidates is no longer a challenge. Linkedin provided Organisations the greatest opportunity to reduce recruitment costs in recent years.

So why then, do leaders and recruiters still rate candidate availability and quality as their most significant challenge in 2014 (ERE.net May 2, 2014). And why do more than 60% of recruiters claim that Linkedin has added to their recruitment challenges?

Because the real reason recruitment is still a challenge has nothing to do with the availability of candidates or their quality!

Companies use a multitude of reactive recruitment processes in their search for the most suitable candidate. Some larger companies utilise proactive talent pooling, which is typically very time consuming and not always effective due to the time sensitive nature of candidate availability.

Regardless of approach, the overriding challenge faced by hiring companies is how to access a good choice of quality candidates quickly and easily. Despite candidate visibility being at an all-time high, the time required to do a reasonable Linkedin search & manage the identified candidates for one job vacancy can take a significant investment of time, time that most in-house recruiters don't have.

If an organisation’s greatest asset are their employees, then finding the best talent for any business is critical. But to know and secure the best talent for your business you need to know who’s out there. So how can you increase your quality candidate reach quickly and easily without increasing your workload?
