How does talking to clients help in performing better?
A client for a recruiter is the hiring manager. By talking to the hiring manager, you can get better job requirements, team fit requirements and personality requirements. You can have a lasting relationship with the hiring manager, by sending a candidate who fits all or most of the criteria for the job and team. A candidate needs to not only meet the job requirements, but also fit well within the team. When you as a recruiter provide candidates that fit the needs for the job. It will help in getting repeat business from the hiring manager. The candidate you place will stay longer in the role. If the candidate is a contractor, you end up making more money over a period with the commissions you get. So, what all this means is that the improved hiring manager/client communication will directly contribute to your bottom line.
How does talking to candidates help in performing better?
The candidates are the other important people you need more communication with. When you talk to a candidate, here are a few things you should consider understanding better
- The candidate’s core strengths
- The candidate’s education levels
- The candidate’s experience levels
- The desired ideal job
- The desired ideal environment
- The desired ideal company size
- The desired ideal company industry
- The desired remuneration
- The desired job type: either full-time, part-time or contractor
When you learn more about the candidate, then you can discuss the most suitable job requirements with them. This will help a few things; the candidate will really appreciate that you took the time to understand their desires. This will help you maintain a lasting relationship with the candidate. This may result in working with the same candidate multiple times during the candidate’s career.
The communication with the candidate, will also help presenting the right candidate to your clients. This will make the client as well as the candidate happy.
Knowing that communication is important, it means it will take a lot more time from you to keep in touch with both clients and candidates.
