Getting human resources advice from the right people is very important. Whether it’s from an industry body like the CIPD or from a peer in another organisation. But many companies are overlooking important advice they could gain in-house – just by asking themselves the right kinds of questions. By asking questions that drill down into your recruitment approach, you can gather insights that will help boost your organisation. These include:
“Is our selection process working at its best?”
Reviewing your selection process and what it achieves will reveal both your strong and weak points in recruiting the right people. The choices you make in your selection process will affect how well your company does in the year ahead. So ensure that you drill down into the detail.
“Are we getting the best from new recruits?”
How well your new recruits settle in and perform is a direct reflection of how well you bring them on board. Use your answers to this question to help candidates develop and contribute more effectively to the growth of your organisation.
“Does our recruitment process flow effectively?”
This question encourages you to take a longer view of your entire recruitment approach. How well does each stage of the funnel flow into the other? Which steps in the process tend to take up the most time – and how could you address this?
