Top Services Offered In Technical Recruiting
Engineering recruiter shortlist and interview are a common service offered by those in the business of technical recruiting. Some IT technical recruiter firms go the extra mile of managing an outsourced recruitment function for you. They take the responsibility of managing your recruitment website, analyze the resumes, manage the resume database, provide candidates on need basis and provide professional reporting services that tell your organization about the efficiency with which the recruitment function is being managed.
Advertisement and website management
Companies may choose to use advertisements through the printed channels or initiate a website through which they accept applications or keep both options running parallel. Resumes that come in through the website need to be studied and coded for the type of job that they suit. Technical recruiting calls for defining whether an application is for a technical specialist role or a managerial role. Any information gaps that the resume has are filled by getting clarifications on the phone. An engineering technician may be looking for work in a specific area while there is a vacancy elsewhere. The individual’s openness to being considered for a different field is identified as soon as the application appears on the website or reaches the office of the executive recruiters.
Resume database management
A software engineer may apply for the position of a manager in the sales department. In the absence of an immediate vacancy, the resume needs to be coded in such a way that it can be accessed when there is a suitable vacancy. The candidate is called and aspirations are understood, notes are made and the resume is coded appropriately. Technical recruiting demands clarity on the true aspirations of candidates since technically sound professionals are often averse to moving to non-technical jobs that provide new experiences. Once this type of resume comes up, the organization may have to be alerted in case of interest in meeting the individual immediately.
Candidate management
Candidates on shortlist may go through interviews at different times and locations, the status may be okay, on hold or rejected. The candidates have to be provided information of their recruitment status and the client has to be provided with the recruitment status of existing vacancies. Technical sales recruiters will keep a ready database of candidates who are open to moving from the technical to sales field. They will contact the candidates in advance to discuss possibilities and make notes on the candidate’s papers.
Reporting services
Technical recruiting firms provide the client with regular updates on recruitment activities carried out, success rate of a recruitment exercise, time taken for conversion from candidate to employee and cost associated with the exercise. This service ensures that the recruitment firm is monitored. Consider a civil engineer who is being recruited for a project. The cost related to the recruitment of the candidate is an additional expenditure over the cost related to the tenor of the vacancy. The period of time that an unfilled vacancy remains so, is the time spent on the job remaining undone while the recruitment team continues getting paid for the services of a search.
