There are three critical steps a recruiter needs to follow with an identified candidate in order to not only close the deal, but to help ensure that the candidate-turned-employee will have a good experience with the company during onboarding.

Recruiters work hard to source just the right person, one with the mix of experience and skills that also has a strong possibility of being a culture fit. Sometimes, the leaders stalls on the decision though because the candidate seems just a little too unique, too cutting edge or too different than the rest of the team. The recruiter tries to keep the candidate warm on the idea of joining the company, but many times, the candidate is lost .
Is there a difference between interviewing and networking?
Social recruiting is about more than having a Twitter or FaceBook account.
Blind dates. We’ve all had them, right? You know, when you’re in a slump in between relationships and you just can’t seem to meet the “right” person. Suddenly, your mom, sister, or friend knows of someone who “would be perfect for you”. You mind begins racing with images of the worst possible people to be paired up with.
If you (as the recruiter, HR, or hiring manager) are being the magnet, then you should be able to attract the “right” candidates and repel the wrong candidates.
In the future, there will be skills required that are beyond our current understanding, and it will require certain characteristics and personalities that are in-built in people.
My question for you is this….whether you work in HR, recruiting, or you are a leader with ability to hire, what is the ONE THING you can do differently to support the goal of zero unemployment?
