5 tips to successful employee recruiting

5 tips to successful employee recruiting   

At Rhino Site Services we see it as our duty to add value to clients' businesses, only recruiting those that will fit within the culture  and contribute to the organisation. With the selection process only being a small piece of the puzzle we work hard to increase retention rates, keeping recruitment costs and manpower as low as possible.  

54% of SMEs in the UK are looking to recruit in the new year, with Rhino Site Services handling a considerable section of construction industry. With years of experience in the niche sector we have crafted a style that works.  

Here are our top tips for successful employee recruitment: 

Accurate job descriptions 

Here at Rhino we have rid of the generic job specification, ensuring information relevant to your business needs and specific to the role in question. In doing so we step closer to achieving clients' targets, attracting the right person through the promotion of vital details.  

Competency based interviews 

While some will reject the conventional interview questions the truth is many potential employees expect them, allowing them to rehearse and stand out with innovative answers. Conducting interviews over the telephone and in person when necessary we rely on competency-based interview questions, a style that has served us incredibly well over the years.  

Be realistic 

While we may have an ideal candidate in mind the truth is locating someone that is perfect is rather difficult. This is why we place focus on potential, looking at track records to gain an understanding of a candidate's ability to grow. Emphasising the ‘musts' and being clear about the ‘wants' we take a rather different approach to our competitors; an approach that attracts worthy, passionate candidates. 

Matching jobs to candidates 

The traditional recruitment process is to find candidates to fill vacant roles. However, with such a long list of vacancies and jobseekers on our books we can work in more of a creative fashion, matching  jobs to candidate's specific requirements and professional vision. Making us the first port of call for construction workers, we help all parties with tailored recruitment solutions. 

Go with your gut  

One of the biggest issues with the recruitment industry is competence, with workers accepting various job offers at once. Ultimately seeing agencies and businesses let down, we go to great lengths to prevent such occurrences, reacting to our gut feeling when liaising with jobseekers.
