Now that work life is beginning to return to some sense of normalcy, you may be thinking about hiring some new staff. However, the process of searching for new people, scheduling and conducting interviews and doing necessary background checks may be more work than you or your team can handle right now. Hiring a new employee is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when it comes to growing your business. It’s also a time-consuming endeavor that’s particularly challenging in a competitive market. Fortunately, Contemporaries can work with you every step of the way to find the best permanent hires for your unique needs and company culture. Here are some of the ways we can help:
- Figuring out what you need in a new hire: It’s important to take time and determine exactly what you’re looking for in a new employee. At the beginning of the process, Contemporaries meets with you to ask detailed questions about the needs of the position, your company culture, etc. Considering questions like skill-set, responsibilities, hours expected to work and compensation/benefits are important and prevent bringing someone on board who isn’t the right fit.
- Reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates: This is where a lot of employers start to throw in the towel. Trudging through resumes, scheduling times to meet candidates and conducting multiple interviews takes a lot of time and effort. Contemporaries does the work for you by identifying qualified candidates, screening them and providing you with a short list of people with the right skill set.
- Screening candidates: Once you’ve identified a strong candidate, it’s time to dig a little deeper. This is an important step that can go overlooked due to time constraints, but skipping it can result in a costly mistake. We can take care of every step of the screening process, so you know you’re extending an offer to the ideal candidate.
According to a study by LinkedIn, only 30% of companies are able to fill a vacant position within 30 days. The other 70% of companies take anywhere from 1-4 months to process a new hire.
