Candidate Screening

Wed, 12 Oct 2011 10:10:00 GMT

Candidate Screening. Candidate Screening is a popular facility offered by job boards whereby you can check a candidate's suitability for your job as they apply for your job. Candidate Screening on job boards and recruitment websites has arisen because of the somewhat frustrating habit of utterly unsuitable candidates applying for jobs. Job boards make it very easy for candidates to apply for jobs. Indeed, many job boards allow candidates to create a basket of jobs and then, with a single click, apply for all of them. Sadly, this can result in candidate spam. That is, too many unsuitable candidates apply for a job.

A job description is not a job ad

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 09:17:00 GMT

While a job description is an invaluable element of the overall recruitment process, and can be the starting point for the job ad, it is not the same as a job ad. What is a job description? A job description (also known as a job specification) is a document that lists the general tasks, functions and responsibilities of a position. It also tends to include the qualifications needed by the person in the job, the salary range for the position, the reports, the longer term prospects etc. In other words, it is a precise specification of the job and all that the job involves.

Selling the SME company to top talent

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:00:00 GMT

Many SME recruiters think that their company is too small and unexciting to attract top talent. But this is an erroneous belief. The key is to sell your company to the right top talent. When compared with other well-known companies and global brands, small companies often feel too puny and boring to attract top talent. As a consequence many recruiters in such companies try to bluff themselves up to appear larger in order to compete for such top talent. But this a flawed recruitment strategy. Small companies can attract top talent too - but only the right top talent.

Avoiding discrimination in job ads

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:05:00 GMT

Writing great job ads is the only way to get great candidates to apply for your job. But be careful when writing a job ad that your enthusiasm and creativity doesn't fall foul of discrimination law. Unfortunately, discrimination in job ads is rather like discrimination in life: it is, in many ways, in the eyes of the beholder. However, having a familiarity with the legislation can help you avoid falling foul of the law. The test of what 'might reasonably be understood as indicating an intention to discriminate' is whether an 'ordinary, reasonable person with no special knowledge' would think the advertisement is discriminatory.
