When it comes to the day to day business of dealing with folk working in Recruitment Consultants Jobs my own preference was for working with the ones who consistently followed what would normally be called 'good practice'. Over the years I became wary of the 'unconventional' ones who might be very clever, but followed all their own "rules".
Consistent, application of good practice helps to avoid certain pitfalls. So here are some of my tips as to what I would (and would not) consider to be 'good practice' in Recruitment Consultants Jobs.
When folk in Recruitment Consultants Jobs launch a recruitment process by recommending a candidate for interview they should regard that only as the beginning of the process, not the end. At every stage, from then on, they should be keeping in touch with both the candidate and the recruiting manager.
If an interview is arranged on the phone, always send confirmation to both parties by email. If the arrangement is for an interview several days hence, always ring both parties the day before to check that everyone has the correct details ... time / day / place. One wrong detail can scupper not only the chance of that appointment, but also the chances of future contracts.
After a successful interview procedure it is tempting, in Recruitment Consultants Jobs, to congratulate oneself on a job well done and sit back to wait for the recruitment fee to arrive. Not a good idea! It is strongly advised that the consultant keeps in touch with the candidate in the interval between the successful interview and the starting date. The candidate may have been proceeding with several job applications at once, and one of these may yield another job offer. Should this happen, if the consultant is still in touch he/she may be still able to "advise" and even perhaps save the day by negotiating a counter-offer.
As a matter of routine it is advisable in Recruitment Consultants Jobs to record every detail of client or candidate contact in a database. For example, knowing what company a past candidate went to work for can sometimes make the difference between being able (or not able) to recommend a suitable candidate for a new vacancy. Placements can be made or lost as a result of good or poor information on the database.
In Recruitment Consultants Jobs the steady worker will avoid all sorts of problems. When things are going well, and maybe several recruitment process are all proceeding at the same time, its tempting to take the foot off the gas. But seeing these processes through from start to finish can take months ... and a lazy period now can result in a famine at a future date. So the advice to the consultant would be, regardless of the numbers of currently ongoing processes, keep trying to launch new processes as a matter of routine.
And finally, in Recruitment Consultants Jobs try to avoid recommending candidates "on the off chance". If there is no suitable candidate just about everything would be wrong with this. To begin with it will probably just waste the interviewing manager's time. Or, even worse, if such a candidate was appointed he/she would then probably have been "mis-placed", and that would make everybody unhappy. This is just not a good way to retain either clients or candidates.
At the end of the day, I guess my recommendations for folk in Recruitment Consultants jobs would boil down to being disciplined, and routinely following recommended good practice starting with my comments above.
