Nobul Resourcing Solutions

Following on from our last blog about understanding your talent brand, we now move our focus to how to audit that talent brand to understand how successful it is and where you can make improvements. #talentbrand #recruitment #audit

Does your team *really* have the time to spend on recruitment as well as doing their day job? 🕒 Do they *really* have time to do their full time role AND breakaway from their essential tasks to: 📢Write and put a strong job advert that will attract the right candidates for the right roles, in the right places? 📄Sift through potentially dozens, or even hundreds of CVs, looking for good matches for the role AND be confident in their selections? 📞Take time to do initial screening calls (some of which will, of course, uncover that the candidate is not a match)? 🧑Prepare for and conduct initial interviews to deep dive into a candidate's skill set, ensuring alignment with your company goals, values, and culture? And that's before any in-depth interviews kick off. And of course, they'll want to maintain the strong employer brand you have, so they'll also need to make sure they: 🧑🧑🧑🧑 Keep multiple candidates updated throughout the process, and support them to have everything they need to be able to shine through your decision-making interview process, so that you find the best possible fit for the role. Recruitment takes time. If your team doesn't have enough time needed to be able to dedicate to the recruitment process to maximise positive outcomes, let us take the burden and stress off your hands. When you work with us, you have a whole team focusing on your recruitment needs.

Have you put a job ad out and you've only had a few applications for what is actually a pretty amazing role? 😩 ❌Your job ad probably isn't sparking the right level of interest and connection with the right candidates - they don't realise it's "for them" when they read it and think they aren't a match. Why it matters for YOUR business: One of our clients put a job ad they wrote out on their own channels and received 17 applications in a two week period, none of whom were invited to interview. One of our Candidate Experience Managers put a job ad she wrote for the company out when we began working on the role, and received 65 applications within 24 hours; several were invited to interview, one of which ultimately went on to join the company in the role. The candidate had seen the original job ad but didn't think it was "for them", so didn't apply until they saw our expertly crafted ad, that was created purely to attract candidates exactly like them, and they were surprised to hear it was a company they had already decided wasn't a fit a couple of weeks before. A well-written job ad makes ALL the difference and needs expertise to craft to attract the right candidates. If you'd like to find out more about finessing your job ads to attract the right people for the right roles, give us a call on 0161 518 9806 or email [email protected] #recruitment #talentacquisition #recruitmentresourcing

Did you know that previous experience in role is only the 14th best predictor of future job performance? 😲 Knowing the difference between a candidate that can *get* the job, vs a candidate that can *do* the job is what sets people who are truly experts in recruitment apart from the rest. There are so many factors that go into assessing true alignment and in-role success opportunity, and often, a scan of a CV and initial interview won't separate one group from the other. And let's face it, the candidate probably won't have a clear picture of what is expected of them at this stage either and might focus on the wrong things, leaving both you and them missing out on key items. At Nobul RS, we take the time to do in-depth interviews with all candidates before they meet with your business. We have a 96% successful placement rate. Our Candidate Managers work solely with candidates, taking the time to get to know them, understanding their background and skills in detail, and helping them to understand what the job they're applying for looks like day-to-day and what the expectations and responsibilities are for the role. By the time you meet a candidate at interview, they have been fully prepared and supported, they know about your business and what the job looks like well enough for you to have a detailed discussion about the ins and outs of what the opportunities and responsibilities of the role are, and for them to give you the applicable context of their skills to your business, not just a summary of previous activities in other organisations, giving you a much more meaningful conversation.

💼 The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) reports that the average cost of a bad hire for UK businesses is £132,000. This includes wasted salary, training expenses, and lost productivity. Ouch🩹 It's a big deal inviting people to join your business, and the financial risk of a mis-hire can be significant. Internal team members, no matter how many times they’ve hired before, always share with us that the risk and pressure of a potential mis-hire causes them huge amounts of stress, on top of their main job. We’ve spent decades learning what works and what doesn’t when it comes to identifying, attracting and retaining top talent, and whilst this might not be a popular opinion, the pitfalls for mis-hires are the same no matter what the industry. Poor recruitment practices dramatically increase the risk of a mis-hire, and unless your business has taken the time to fully assess your recruitment practices in detail, you’ll always be at an increased risk of mis-hires, for every role you recruit for. We have a 96% successful placement rate, and our main form of business (over 90%) for the past seven years has been from referrals of happy clients; give us a call for a non-commitment chat about how we could partner with you to transform your talent solutions and prime your business for growth. 0161 518 9806.

💡75% of UK businesses report difficulties in finding candidates with the right skills. ✅Check out our top tip to help make life a little easier for your team. According to report by the Open University, the challenge of identifying candidates that are capable of not simply “doing” a job, but having the skills to succeed in-role has been increasing over the recent years. This challenge has many factors contributing to making recruiting the right team members for your business more difficult and one of the top things we’ve found from decades of recruitment experience is that often, the job description doesn’t truly represent what the role is and what the person in the role would be doing day to day. So what happens? You get applications from people who might not have the right skills, or you simply get inundated with so many applications that it’s just not possible to give the level of attention needed to each one to see if there’s a skill fit. Crafting a truly unique and accurate job description takes time; our top tip for attracting candidates with the right skills when it comes to job descriptions is to make sure your job descriptions are: 1. Clear – outline the roles and responsibilities clearly, with no room for assumptions or guesses. 2. Highlight exactly what skills and experience are required for this role and understand internally why they are necessary and identify any question marks your team might have about the role for required skills and experience. If some expert job description crafting from people with decades of experience could help you with your recruitment, get in touch for a no-commitment chat. 0161 518 9806. #recruitment #TalentAcquisition #JobDescription #SkillsGap

💰 82% of businesses reported that hiring the wrong talent costs them significantly more than they anticipated (Harvard Business Review). The costs of a mis-hire can extend past the financial considerations, which often are more than you might think. A mis-hire can have a negative impact on your business’ culture as well. It’s not always easy to spot a potential mis-hire, and unless your team are truly experts in recruitment, chances are they’ll miss the signs a seasoned expert knows to look out for – you don’t know what you don’t know, right? Working with an expert in recruitment can significantly reduce the risk of mis-hire and lighten the load for your team. At Nobul, we’ve got decades of experience identifying and attracting top talent, with a 96% successful placement rate. We work with you to hire right the first time. If mis-hires are one of your top concerns about your recruitment needs, get in touch for a no-commitment conversation about how we can support your business recruit for growth. #recruitment #businessgrowth #talentacquisition
