“I started working under the Trillium umbrella of companies over 9 years ago. With almost unlimited resources due to the nationwide framework of our national offices, it became clear very quickly that Trillium is dedicated to delivering undiluted value to their client’s needs. When you have this level of collaboration with management and throughout an organization, it allows for guided growth and space to improve best practices. I now look at client openings as projects, being able to follow a task from beginning to end with a focus on establishing new normals for the future.  My successes have stemmed from the people that I work with clients and candidates alike. I enjoy educating candidates on the fundamentals of interviewing and preparing them with the company details and materials they need for interviews. I’m proud to say that many of the people I work with say that it has been their best experience working with a recruiter.” – Eric Kronner

The average time to fill a position in the U.S. is 25 working days, unless you’re a larger corporation which comes in at an average of 58.1 days. As long as the hiring process can seem on the employer end, from an applicant’s perspective it can seem even longer. For an applicant who is actively entertaining other offers, the time to hire can be the determining factor in their career search.

Reducing your time to hire may be as simple has implementing some changes to how offers are extended or who has the authority to extend them. Most HR departments are juggling several responsibilities that are time sensitive and have to resort to compiling and presenting job offers after other responsibilities are handled. Allowing department managers to present and extend offers to applicants may quickly cut several days, up to a week off of the hiring process. Having a strong idea of what offer you may be comfortable presenting before an interview can allow you the opportunity to compile an offer that could be extended immediately following an interview.

Here are just a few obstacles that can be avoided with a more streamlined hiring process:

• Losing applicants to another offer. Candidates who are juggling multiple opportunities are not likely to decline other offers while waiting several days or weeks for your company to produce an offer, even if it is more competitive. If they do receive other offers while awaiting your decision they are also more likely to counter your initial offer.
• Costly additional travel expenses. If you are working with candidates who are traveling for interviews, the additional expense of bringing them back to your location for a job offer presentation can add up quickly.
• Indecisive candidate response. Many applicants are less likely to decline or counter a job offer in-person than they are by phone or email. By identifying an offer that you are comfortable with and being prepared to offer them the position immediately after concluding the interview you greatly increase your chances of an accepted offer.
• Decrease in productivity and morale. Decreasing the time to fill can have a very positive impact on a departments productivity and morale. The less time you are understaffed, the less burden the entire team fills with the vacancy.

As of January 16, 2015, the CDC reported the virus as “widespread” across all but four states and the District of Columbia. The CDC recommends that everyone over 6 months of age receive the flu vaccination, reporting it as “the best way to prevent people from getting the flu”. However, reports show that the current vaccination is not effective on several strands of the H3N2 virus.

In additional to vaccination there are several ways to prevent the virus from quickly spreading through the workplace:

• Remember that those who have the flu are contagious from one day before symptoms appear up to a week after symptoms appear.
• The flu can be spread from up to 6 feet away. Experts from the CDC report far more people become ill from droplets spread through coughs, sneezes, and droplets released from talking rather than from touching surfaces that have the flu virus on it.
• Cleaning and disinfecting common areas more often is a critical to controlling the spread of the virus. Kitchen areas, break rooms, bathrooms, copy rooms, and elevator buttons should be disinfected daily during peak flu seasons.
• Encourage your staff to stay home when feeling ill and immediately following becoming sick.
• Encourage your staff to wash and sanitize their hands regularly, especially before eating, after greeting visitors, or making cold calls.

Maintaining a healthy workplace and minimizing the spread of illness can greatly reduce several health risks, medical costs, extended absences, and loss in productivity.

Attracting talent of a higher caliber can pose some additional burdens above and beyond what you’re looking for in a candidate. Most often times this level of talent is either already gainfully employed, or is entertaining several options. Locating a Recruiter who can work with you to provide you with the competitive edge you need is crucial to landing the right person for the job.

How do you attract a candidate to choose your offer over other options? Simple. Become their best option. Demonstrating early on your commitment to your employees is critical to building trust and rapport with candidates and new hires alike. Before asking the applicant to take a leap of faith with your company, you may need to show that you’re taking a leap of faith with them.

Often times those who are gainfully employed or who are juggling multiple job offers, are less unlikely to accept a contract or contract to hire role even if the pay is better than their current opportunity. Your Recruiter should help you identify positions and circumstances when offering the position as a direct hire will benefit you greatly. Most staffing agencies offer a guarantee period on their direct hire placements, offering you the same protection as a contract to hire arrangement.

Demonstrating to an applicant that you have the confidence initially that they are the right fit for your organization will not only make your offer stand out against contract positions, but also can help the applicant feel a stronger connection to your team.
