Advertising Costs Per Hire- Where Do You Stand?

Posted by:

While many companies track their average cost per hire, many lump all of their recruiting expenses together. Have you taken the time to see where your recruitment expenses come from? A recent study by Software Advice, highlights the average costs that simply advertising for an open position amounts to. You might be surprised to learn where you fall in comparison to other hiring managers.

With job boards reported as being the primary advertising channel for 85% of companies, there’s no denying the impact the online advertising market has had on recruiting strategies for employers. If you are investing in online job advertisements, be sure to get the most of your investment. Creating an online job posting that attracts talent, shoud involve a combination of creative marketing, SEO value, and sales.

Do you feel like you struggle more to attract talent than some of your competitors? You might. Companies with less than 50 employees often spend more money advertising per hire than larger companies. Hiring strategies for small business often require more of a proactive rather than reactive approach. Whether your organization is small or large, the power of internal referrals is undeniable. In a 2011 survey by Jobvite, 70% of employers reported feeling that referred candidates were a better fit for company culture and company values. If your organization does not have a referral program established, now is the time to start!

While the battle for skilled talent is always present, 64% of employers reported advertising entry level positions. A combination of high volume, lower wages, and inexperience often lead employers to experience high turnover for these lower end positions. At a price of $173 per hire in advertising expenses alone, be sure that you have incorporated ways to reduce employee turnover and implemented retention programs even for your less skilled positions.

New Hire Probationary Period- How To Rock It

Posted by:

If you think the new hire probationary period is just for temps, you are mistaken. Whether your new employer labels it formally or not, your first few months on the job are likely to be viewed closely to determine your long term role in the organization and identify any negative patterns in your performance or attendance. Many employers implement formal and informal meetings during this period to discuss your progress and on-boarding rate, some even provide merit increases for your successful completion of the new hire probationary period. Here are a few tips to help you rock it!

 stockxpertcom_id8988282_size2

  • Be Observant: While it may be somewhat acceptable to struggle at some duties during this time period, most tasks are expected to be completed efficiently and independently following this period. Take advantage of this time frame to ask questions, take detailed notes, and perfect processes and procedures.
  • Join The Team: Be sure to begin rapport building with your peers, clients, and supervisors early on. Each of them have valuable insights to offer you and having a strong working relationship with them from the start can have a large impact on your success in your new role. Take an interest in the organization’s goals, achievements, and the projects of those around you. Do you have any suggestions that may help them reach their goals, based on your previous experiences?
  • Prove To Be The Right Hire: Picture your first 90 days as a working interview. Arrive on time, avoid missing work, and be sure to give 100% to your duties and responsibilities. In your first 90 days more than almost any other time, your supervisor will be trying to gauge your dependability, reliability, and ability to perform your essential job duties. Take advantage of this opportunity to draw attention to your strengths and reassure your employer that they’ve made the best hiring decision.
  • Solicit Feedback: Follow up with your supervisor and seek their feedback. Find out what areas you are excelling in, areas for improvement, and what their expectations are for the on-boarding process. When do they expect you to be able to work independently? How often should you expect feedback?

While you have landed the job, you still need to prove yourself to be the right person for the job. As a new employee following protocol and getting along with others is imperative. Be sure that you have familiarized yourself with the employee handbook, understand your employer’s expectations, and are making a strong effort to learn and excel at your responsibilities.

Career Goals for the New Year

Posted by:

Have you set your career goals for the new year? It’s not too late to do so! Here are a few tips to help you set, monitor, and obtain your career goals for 2014!

stockxpertcom_id11978_size1

  • Know your starting line. Having a clear idea of where you are starting the new year in your career can help you identify the best steps to take to achieve your goals. Take a moment to identify and write down where you are in your skill set, career, and position.
  • Identify where you want to go, in the long term. Are you looking to enter a new career path? Progress with your current organization? Seek a new position? Enter management? Identify and write down your long term objective and what drives you towards this goal.
  • Determine what steps you can feasibly achieve this year. While your long term goal may or may not be obtainable this calendar year, your progression towards it certainly can! Determine what skills, experiences, and education you may need to begin the process. Make a list and give yourself periodic deadlines that are reasonable to achieve these goals.
  • Find a mentor. Identify someone that you admire professionally and reach out to them for assistance in reaching your goals. How were they able to achieve their goals? How did they maintain a balance between their personal and professional lives? What advice do they have to offer?
  • Monitor your progress. Regularly monitor your progress towards your short and long term goals. Are you making progress? Do you need more information or assistance to achieve certain goals? Celebrate your small achievements and be honest with yourself about your short comings.
  • Stay the course. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, right? You’re likely to experience set backs and delays during this progress but all can become learning opportunities. Lean on your support system to keep you grounded and focused on achieving your goals!

Workforce Planning 2014…Are You Prepared?

Posted by:

With 2014 only a few days away, have you completed your workforce planning? While many organizations put pencil to paper on budgets, sales projects, and business expansions; many forget how their workforce allows them to meet these goals. Don’t be one of them!

DeskTP

Entering 2014 many experts are projecting a continued shortage of talent for skilled and professional level positions, that will only continue to worsen with the attrition of the baby boomers. Protect your human capital and ensure that you have the staff in place to keep your business running smoothly in the new year. Here are a few quick tips:

·         Take roll call. Who do you have on staff that is planning to retire or may cut back to part time? Look to your current staff to see if you have the human capital to absorb these responsibilities or whether you may need to add to back fill these roles.

·         Locate your unrealized talent. We all have it. While we tend to focus on unrealized sales or potential business, sometimes we forget that we have unrealized talent already available in our organization. How can these individuals help you meet your goals for the new year? Have you met with them to ensure that they are happy and plan to stay with the organization? If not, now is the time!

·         Plan and plan again. While most organizations plan to fill future openings on their own, in today’s talent shortage that isn’t always possible. As many as 90% of companies partner with a staffing agency to help them locate talent. If this is a possibility for your organization in the upcoming year be sure to account for these costs when budget planning and begin meeting with potential recruiters before your need is to arise. Locating the right recruiter for your organization is imperative. Hiring the wrong recruiter could result in weeks of down time, unrealized sales, and missed opportunities.

Trillium is excited to be entering our 30th year of business in 2014 and is truly grateful to our over 5,000 clients nationwide that count on us to deliver them the talent they need to excel in their industries. We appreciate the opportunity to help you locate your greatest asset, your team!
