The issue of the current recruitment is not just about the right job openings, which will help to the organization to survive the recession. The current recruitment and staffing is flooded by the number of job candidates. Again. As the situation on the job market worsens, the people send their job resume to many openings and the organization has to select the right job candidate.
The issue is not a new one. The recruitment and staffing process is very cyclical and the current status is about the companies selecting and people have to offer better skills and competencies than the others.
The HRM Function can enjoy the comfort of the recruitment and staffing process, when they have to select the best job candidate and they have the pool of the job candidates to select from. But, it is time consuming and the selection has to be smart and time efficient.
The HRM Function has to change the recruitment process again. The HRM Function has to manage the work with many job resumes in the process and the work with the proper selection criteria to choose from.
The HR Recruiter will face the situation, when they have to be able to select the right job candidate among many other job candidates. They did not enjoy the situation for many years and the recruitment processes are not ready to manage a huge flow of job resumes.
The recruitment process has to be focused on the proper pre-selection of the suitable job candidates again. The phone interview and good reading of the job resumes will be a must. The HR Recruiter will have to learn the skills of reading and recognizing the personality from the job resume again.
The proper reading of the job resumes and motivational letters will be important as the excellent job candidate can be lost in many job resumes. The excellent job candidate usually provides a hint to the organization about its unique position among other job candidates.
The excellent job candidate does not send the job resume to every organization found on the market and the excellent job candidate writes a personal and customized cover letter to every company.
The HRM Function has to adapt the recruitment and staffing process to recognize the excellent job candidates again. And the solution is probably very easy – the job resumes have to read and sorted before the job interviewing process starts. It is a very boring part of the recruitment process, but the organization will benefit from this. The organization will benefit from the proper reading of job resumes.
