However, to succeed for this type of recruitment is considered the most complex, the following factors need special attention:
3 elements required for a successful mass recruitment
Need to coordinate multiple recruitment channels
Because you need to reach a large number of candidates, mass recruitment requires you to use many different recruitment channels instead of just through one or two channels as usual. Depending on the requirements for the positions, you can choose from a variety of recruitment channels such as:
– Recruitment advertising (paper and online recruitment sites): It is possible to reach a large number of candidates, and at the same time improve the image and professionalism of the employer.
– System of universities and vocational training institutions: Every year, there are hundreds of thousands of students and graduates. This is an indispensable human resource for mass recruitment of entry level positions.
– Job fair: The biggest advantage of a job fair is that consumers can meet a large number of candidates individually in a short time. This is a very effective way to attract hundreds and thousands of candidates for recruitment, and you can also receive applications and meet candidates on the spot.
– Recruitment partner: If internal personnel and time are not guaranteed, you should look for a reputable recruitment service provider. Professional recruitment service providers can access many sources of candidates that are limited by direct recruiters, and at the same time coordinate many operations to ensure improved candidate quality for employers.
In addition, consumers can also use information available in the data system from previous recruitments or review recommendations from current employees of the company.
Prepare personnel
Employers need to have a good preparation in terms of personnel, such as building a dedicated team to take charge of the entire recruitment. It is necessary to clearly define the role of each individual in the recruitment team: Who is looking for candidates, who is responsible for interviewing for job skills, who is interviewing for personality, and who will make decisions. Determining the final result… Identifying a team of personnel participating in mass recruitment will help businesses take advantage of the right functions and strengths of management in recruiting, ensuring the quality of selected candidates, and complete the recruitment in the most efficient way.
Build recruitment process
A rigorous recruitment process will save a lot of time and help attract the right candidates for the position. Especially, when mobilizing a large amount of human and material resources in a mass recruitment, you need to put in place a strict process to avoid errors and losses.
Basically, the recruitment process goes through 7 steps: Determine who you need to recruit; Write compelling job descriptions; Filter resumes and select potential candidates; Interview by phone/email; Interview; Check information with references; and Job Offer.
In many organizations, the hiring process can involve dozens of different steps. It is important when mass recruitment is to agree on how many steps to apply, what is the goal of each step, decide who is responsible at each step. In addition to the above basic steps, tests can be added to quickly eliminate unsuitable candidates before conducting a face-to-face interview.
