Re-hiring old employees? Have you ever thought about

However, the question is whether hiring such “Boomerang” employees is the right choice?

1. Quick adaptation – High efficiency

“Because it takes less time to get them used to the company, you can focus more on training skills, goals and duties for the new position” – Judson Van Allen (department manager) recruitment of Computer Task Group).

Former employees who clearly understand the company's vision, mission and core values. Therefore, it does not take too long for them to adapt to the working environment that they have experienced before. What they need to do is simply identify business changes, get to know new colleagues, and adjust their seats.

Old people, when they return, often have new perspectives. For them, the break from work is just a learning trip and when they have an overview of the world, they will return to the place they consider 'home'. Therefore, returning former employees will often be accompanied by contributions to development and the way they see the work is also more specific and clear.

2. Create trust for current employees

If Vietnam has a sentence: "Standing this mountain in that mountain", then abroad also has the sentence "The grass is always greener on the other side". When the former employee returns, it is also a testament to the working employees that their compensation and working environment has been much better than outside.

“Boomerang” employees are like brand ambassadors for the company. They raise the value of the company to a new level when external attractions cannot make them give up loyalty. It is these people who help increase the employee's loyalty and devotion scores while helping the company's human resources department reduce the headache of "sudden departures" and reduce the pressure of a talent shortage.

3. The process must always be done from A -> Z

“Don't burn the stage just because the candidate is known for being good” – Van Allen

Regardless of how good the qualifications of the former employees are, the recruitment process must complete all stages: filter resumes, interview and check to ensure that they will be suitable for the position that the company wants. you are in need.

Remind HR that “Boomerang” employees need to go through all of the same hiring stages as other candidates and must certify that the employee is eligible to be rehired.

There are many reasons for former employees to quit. Maybe it's because of family, health or just want to experience many places. But at this point, the reasons aren't as important as: "What motivated them to come back?" It is these motivations that determine whether or not to re-hire old employees. Employers should also disclose changes in company policies and regulations since they left to ensure that they are aware of and are certain of their decision to re-engage.

Former employees only return to places they think are worth giving. Take advantage of those talents to develop the company. Recruiting someone to work is not difficult, but recruiting someone to contribute is not easy. Make sure you are firmly holding your pawns because the game is decided by those pieces.
