Recruiting Workshop: Establishing Commitment
$899 pp virtual; $1299 pp in-person
Recruiting professionals work tirelessly to help their customers staff open positions with qualified job seekers. Unfortunately, not all job seekers value recruiters, which is why some think it’s okay to ‘ghost’ or ‘back-out’. ‘Ghosting’ is when a job-seeker suddenly disappears during the recruiting process; when they stop responding to calls, texts or emails without warning or explanation! A ‘back-out’ is when a job seeker decides to withdraw their candidacy after accepting a position – sometimes on the day they are supposed to start work! This behavior might be unprofessional, but it is not new – it has been happening for years. Although painful and extremely frustrating, there is something that you can do about it. This workshop was developed to improve the quality of communication between recruiters and job seekers in an effort to significantly reduce the likelihood of future ‘ghosting’ and ‘back-outs’. Participants will learn how to:
- Develop relationships with job seekers that are bombarded with calls from other recruiters
- Establish boundaries that allow for comfortable conversations
- Qualify the skills and commitment level of each candidate
- Recommend job opportunities that are aligned with candidate capabilities and expectations
- Help make the decision process less stressful for each candidate
- Close business and increase billable hours
** All training programs are available virtually. Interaction is most effective for teams of 6-12 people.
