Onboarding
Once the candidate has accepted the offer letter, the process is not over yet. This is where the pre-boarding period starts. This is the time between the joining date and when the offer letter was accepted. And it’s very important to be in touch with your candidate during this period to keep them engaged. If not done so, it can result in them joining another company. It also includes sharing the new hire’s email and other details with the team. Once the candidate starts the first day, it’s time to begin the onboarding process.
Recruitment techniques
Here are some recruitment techniques that can help you attract candidates:
- Internal recruitment: You can post the opening on your internal company site so that current employees can apply if they want to switch their roles. This technique can save a lot of time.
- Retained recruitment: You can reach third-party consultancies to fill the open positions, but you have to pay a fee for the recruitment work and even some additional pay once the position is closed by them.
- Contingency recruitment: In this option, you can reach third parties but have to pay only when the employee is hired.
- Career fairs: Going into this event provides an opportunity to hire the best candidate for your organization and also helps to market your company.
- Campus Recruiting: If you are looking for freshers and there is a good amount of vacancies in your organization, then going to campus and conducting the hiring drive can be a good option.
- Social Media: You can post the openings on Linkedin, Facebook, and Twitter to attract more and more candidates.
