Why Use Employment Agencies

Finding a job is not easy as most job-seekers know. It takes time, effort and planning. Effective job searching is a skill that very few can easily master. One the other side of the coin, employers realize that finding suitable employees, can also be time consuming and relatively expensive.

Employment agencies are dedicated to filling the need of both parties. Employers can use the services offered by employment agencies to save some of the time and strain on resources to find the right employee, while the job seeker has access to all the information, services that may be offered without any cost by many of the employment agencies.

When a specific skills set is needed, many organizations will enter into a contract agreement with placement services firms, who may also be known also known as recruiters. The recruiters conduct the search to find people with the desired skills, and matches potential employees with the vacancy. Potential candidates are screened before they are recommended for interviews with the employer.
There are different arrangements that can be made with employment agencies. For companies seeking senior-level managers, they may choose agencies that specialize in finding executives, or an executive search firm, that can sometimes be derisively referred to as a head-hunter. Executive search firms are usually retained by larger corporations, in much the same way that lawyers are retained, and called upon to perform required tasks.

Agencies involved in job searches must now abide by a code of ethics that are governed by regional authorities. A set protocol and standard procedures must be applied when conducting searches for higher level employees. Search agencies that are retained are usually private companies that specialize in specific areas. They may normally provide services for much of the private sector.
The arrangements made that employers make with executive search firms can be convoluted, but it can offer one big benefit to the job seeker, and in most cases it costs nothing, although there may be circumstances where the job seeker may choose to pay for the services offered by the agency.

Employment agencies may charge the company for finding the employee, or they may enter into arrangements that return a percentage of salary as compensation. The rationale may be that the level of employment correlates to the difficulties to be overcome in the employee search ostensibly indicating, that higher level employees with the appropriate skills set may be harder to find.

If you are able to find suitable employment, without having to pay any agency fees, by all means you should do so, but in some cases, agencies may ask the job-seeker for compensation for assistance in finding a job. Choosing a suitable agency depends almost entirely on your personal preferences and circumstances. More efficient assistance may come from an agency that specializes in your field of work, but with the shrinking degrees of separation, it may be possible to establish connections that are totally unrelated.

If you are looking for temporary work, it may be to your benefit to register with agencies that handle full time workers, and vice-versa.

The Many Different Kinds of Business Entities According to a Small Business Consultant

Businesses today can be classified as being one of a handful of different kinds of business entities.
 The general classifications are as follows: a sole proprietorship, a partnership (under which it can fall into one of three categories - general, limited, and limited liability partnership), a corporation, or a cooperative. These, however, are only the general types of business entities, as different countries also have their own different types of business entities. For instance, in Chile there are four types of business entities, in Indonesia there are ten, while in Luxembourg there are only two. For those looking to start their own business, classifying their company as an entity can be a harrowing task in itself, which is why a business plan consultant is vital.

Being that there are so many different types of business entities out there, a small business consultant is necessary whenever a business owner wants to set up a company. Here is a look at two main types of business entities.

Corporation
There are many businesses in the world today that can be classified as being a corporation. According to the Reference website, a corporation is "a legal entity that is created under the laws of a state designed to establish the entity as a separate legal entity having its own privileges and liabilities distinct from its owner." As per R. C. Clarke's book entitled "Corporate Law" and Henry Hansmann's book "The Anatomy of Corporate Law," a corporation has four distinct core characteristics:
- Legal personality
- Limited liability
- Transferable shares
- Centralized management under a broad structure

A significant characteristic of modern corporations is the limited liability enjoyed by its owners, shareholders, and employees. If the company should fail, either through a lack of small business consultant or another reason, they are not directly liable for the losses or debts the corporation incurs: investors only stand to lose their investment while employees will lose their jobs, the debt will not be carried over.

Limited liability company

A limited liability company is a relatively new addition to the types of business entities covered by a business plan consultant. According to LLC Reporter, the limited liability company got its start in Germany in 1892 when the government passed a law authorizing the creation of Gesellschaft mit beschrnkter Haftung (GmbH), a forerunner of modern-day limited liability companies.

A modern limited liability company is a very flexible type of business entity sharing the
characteristics of a corporation, a partnership, and a sole proprietorship. The characteristic it shares with a corporation is that it has limited liability, while the characteristic it shares with a partnership is that it can have "pass through income taxation." This is where an entity's income flows through to its investors and owners.

A limited liability company, due to its flexible nature, can choose to be taxed as a sole proprietorship, a partnership, an S corporation, or a C corporation.

Any business owner keen on starting up his or her own company would do well to talk to a business plan consultant first, as these professionals know the ins and outs of business entities, whatever type they may be.

Why You Should - Not To Take A Job Offer!

Welcome to the 21st century, where the job interview process has stretched from an average of a couple weeks to a month, in the 20th century, to a few weeks to months, for some jobs now. A process that often includes several visits to facilities, meeting multiple managers, decision-makers and associates, and, nowadays, engaging in choices of vocational, behavioral, and other types, of pre-employment testing and measurements; not to mention credit and insurance and deep background investigations. Whewww... after such an effort, it seems only a fool would not accept a job offer.

But, between the meetings, interviews, testing and conversations and credential checking, lurks some primary business issues, which, if revealed, could be good reason to turn down a job offer from a firm who matches the criteria reported below; even if you tend towards accepting the job, at first glance.

For instance, employee turn-over. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that an average 20%+ annual employee turn-over rate is common for businesses here in this country. What if you discover in your job-interview process that the firm with which you are currently interviewing has a typical 50%-60%-70% rotation-out-the-door of new employees? Inquire in the interview as to why such a result is occurring. Unless the explanation makes sense, you may find yourself seeking another new job before the year is out.

Another common difficulty, when gauging the value of a job offer you have worked hard to receive, is the word-on-the-street, scuttlebutt, rumors, gossip about the company. Maybe their stock is about to take a dive. Maybe upper management is ready to be replaced. Maybe the company has rendered its finances to a shadow of its once healthy shine. Many issues may arise when you perform your due diligence to investigate any potential employer. Do not assume the company is viable simply because they have long held a respected public profile. This is true for large corporations as it is for local and regional employers. Do your research.

Often times, during the investigations mentioned just above, one may discover that the company making a job offer has a bad or questionable reputation regarding some (or many) aspects of their business. Could be they treat their employees well - on the surface - but you discover their healthcare coverage elicits unusually high premiums to be paid by employees, thusly reducing actual spendable income, as compared to the employment dollar offer tendered. Maybe the quality of their product or service is in question. Or they are known for heavy-handed marketing techniques. Ask around. Seek conversations with current employees beyond those with which you interview. Talk to recruiters about it; maybe even competing firms. Seek out inside comments on the behaviors of the business.

This next job offer issue is a more private issue, one each job candidate must face when an elevated income arrives along with their fresh, new job offer. Facts and long history confirm that too many job-seekers accept job offers primarily for the money. "Show me the money," is a popular phrase. But when that higher salary brings with it a job that doesn't move an employee ahead in their career, or when that job is essentially a case of under-employment, one without challenge, even boring, then the likelihood of the new employee finding themselves disenchanted, dissatisfied, just months later - the money takes on a tone of unimportance. Recruiter statistics confirm that nearly 50% of under-employed workers leave their jobs.

And when such a job, as described immediately above, includes long, arduous, unending hours of labor, weekends away from home, greatly limited vacation-time (even when those days are supposedly available for use, but never accessed due to unending labor requirement) or near-constant work-related reports, follow-up, phone calls, text-messages, emails, etc... That's when one's quality-of-life is in the trash-bin. Trading one's sense of accomplishment and job-satisfaction for constant employment related labor is usually a recipe for physical, mental and emotional exhaustion. Typically, after only months, or a year or two of such activity, the resume is dusted off and updated and the whole job search process begins again.

Take heed to the scenarios above, that they do not throw up road blocks to your long-term career goals and employment needs. A job offer should bring both the employer and the employee the things they each require to thrive. When it does not, or when other issues, such as those mentioned above, cloud the decision-making process of an informed job seeker - think twice before accepting a job offer.

Marketing Yourself Aggressively - Job Hunting Tips

I've worked and consulted for many great companies, and as a consultant, it's my job to stay connected -- so, many people come to me for help and advice as they look for jobs. I learn a lot from these individuals as they conduct their searches, and one common mistake I see is that people are not aggressive enough. Perhaps it's because people who are unemployed sometimes lack confidence, or they perceive the balance of power is against them and they don't want to be perceived as pushy. But I think many executives "in transition" (the new term for "unemployed") get too tentative, think too small, and thus decrease the odds they will find a great job.

Here are seven tips that I've developed based on my observations. (I don't expect many professional recruiters or HR veterans to agree with all of these. But I've seen each of these tips used to great advantage, so they work sometimes, for some people. Use your judgment.)

1. Search a Very Wide Geography
Probably the most common and damaging mistake I see job hunters make is they limit the geography of their search. For example, I live in Colorado and many of my local contacts who come to me say something like, "I want to stay in the Denver area," which usually means they aren't looking very hard anywhere else. Limiting your search geographically is not aggressive.

Now, narrowing in on a geographic area might seem like a reasonable requirement for a job search. Executive recruiters often ask this first. But they are asking this question not so they can find more jobs for you but rather so they can eliminate you as a candidate for many of the jobs they're seeking to fill. The second you tell a recruiter you don't want to move, you've taken yourself off the list for most opportunities.

Consider my local friends. You might think that it's logical for there to be lots of jobs in this area because Denver is a pretty big metropolitan area. In fact, the Census Bureau reports that the Denver "MSA" (Metropolitan Statistical Area) has a population of 2,357,404.

Here's the problem: the population of the United States is 304,059,724, meaning Denver has just 0.78% of the national's people. So putting in place a limitation like, "I want to stay in the Denver area" means you are probably eliminating more than 99% of all US job prospects. How much harder did your job search just become?

I understand that people have good reasons for wanting to stay local - they have established social networks, a spouse working in the area, or a custody agreement regarding children from a prior marriage, etc. But most of the time, people just really want to live where they are now.

There's nothing wrong with this, of course, and I understand the reluctance because I have moved 14 different times in my life, not counting relocations within cities. Moving is very difficult, expensive, and emotionally draining.

However, it is not as emotionally draining as unemployment, or worse, severe financial hardship. So if you are limiting your search to where you live today, recognize the tradeoff you are making. And consider casting a wider net even if you don't want to move. I've seen many cases where someone who told me that they wouldn't relocate changed their minds later when they became desperate. And yet they had wasted six months' of their search process ignoring everyplace but their hometown.
You can always turn down a job offer, but they're still nice to have. You can't accept an offer you don't get. So go get some offers, wherever they may be -- then decide based on your circumstances at the time and the nature of the job if you want to accept it or not. Searching strictly for local jobs is not aggressive unless you have no choice.

2. Leverage Your Past Fearlessly
Several weeks ago, I had lunch with a good friend who is trying to start a very interesting company. Everyone who knows this individual thinks he's extremely impressive. He's extraordinarily intelligent and capable and has a terrific resume. He's had high-level positions with some of the world's most prestigious companies and he has the kinds of education and certifications that other people can only dream about.

However, the start up that he is pursuing has very little to do with the work that he's done before. In addition, he doesn't have any significant intellectual property to claim. That means that even if he finds investors, there's nothing to prevent others from copying his business model. So it's risky and while that's aggressive, it's also a long-shot opportunity.

Out of curiosity, I asked him why he wasn't pursing something that was more similar to the work he has done in the past. As it turns out, while he had many successes working for his prior employers, in two cases, his tenure ended badly. Apparently, he'd taken on extremely difficult assignments and when they didn't work out, he had to leave the companies.

This is actually a pretty common scenario, and it doesn't diminish this individual's remarkable abilities or effectiveness one bit. But when he's job-hunting, no one will know the details of his prior jobs; my advice to him was to search for jobs that are similar to his past positions even while he is working on his start up.

A lot of people like my friend leave corporate jobs to "do something different," like entrepreneurial ventures. And while that's tempting, the fact is that we have the very best shot at landing a future job that looks like the ones we've had in the past. Our strengths and resumes make us very attractive to companies hiring those positions and they are the jobs we can compete for most effectively.

If you haven't done so lately, take a look at your resume from the perspective of an employer. What does it say you are best qualified to do? What kinds of jobs are you most suited to pursue? Learn how to portray yourself as an expert in your field -- a master of your area because of your experience, training and education. Then practice describing why you have extraordinarily strong qualifications and simply ignore parts of your previous jobs you don't wish to discuss. That's not only aggressive, it's what many of the people you're competing with are doing as well.

3. Master the Dreaded Practice Interview
I think it's sort of a platitude that you should practice your interviewing skills, but hardly anyone does it. This is unfortunate, because interviewing effectively is an acquired skill and most people are pretty poor at it if they haven't practiced it a lot.

Have someone interview you and videotape it. Scrutinize the tape, make some improvements and then do it again. I know that most people hate the way they look and sound on videotape, but that's really how you look and sound, so you might as well know it. Once you do, you can work on improving the way you come across and eliminate the things you don't like. You will see and hear yourself do things on the tape that you weren't aware of that are distracting or take away from the impression you're trying to make.

I once videotaped someone who couldn't seem to land a job no matter what he did. When we watched the tape, he was aghast to see that whenever he was thinking about a question, he dropped his head down and stared at the table. It was disconcerting and made him look discouraged and not at all confident. After a few tries, he was able to correct this and some other faux pas and was much more confident in his interviewing. He landed a job soon after our videotaping session, even though he had been interviewing for a couple of years with no luck. That practice, he said, is what made the difference.

There are many other areas of interviewing that will improve with videotaped practice sessions -- how you enunciate, the words you choose, your hand gestures, the way your clothes and hair look and how loud and fast you speak, etc. You simply cannot master all of these details unless you see yourself in action.

Make sure whomever plays the role of the hiring person is ready for your rehearsal. They should be professional and play the part with complete seriousness. When you begin, enter the room like it's a real interview, shake your interviewer's hand, and once you get started, stay "in role" until the interview is done. Don't stop if you flub up -- you can't do it in a real interview, so make yourself recover from mistakes in practice. Finally, ensure the interviewer has a long list of questions to ask, some of them quite difficult or pressing on areas of your resume where you are the least confident. There are almost no interview questions that you can't anticipate, so be ready with answers to all of them. As I tell my friends, memorize your ad libs in advance so that you can deliver them articulately and with poise and confidence when it counts.

Hardly anyone practices their interviewing on tape and then reviews the results carefully. Be the aggressive, consummate professional who does.

4. Ask Friends to Help -- But Not the Way Other Candidates Do
I find that many people are reluctant to ask their friends and colleagues (current and former) for substantive help in finding a job and this is a big mistake. I know everyone "in transition" emails and calls some friends to ask that they keep them in mind if anything comes up, but that's not what I'm talking about. That's not aggressive.

Aggressive networking for a job involves reaching deep into your well of relationships and contacting everyone you can possibly think of to enlist them in your search. When you ask someone for assistance, it creates a sense of obligation on their part that doesn't exist otherwise. I don't know why this is the case, but I've seen it happen many times. You won't know which of your friends, associates and former coworkers will have great opportunities to send your way until you ask them to, but I have been frequently surprised at where great job leads come from.

But even if you ask for help, most people who know you are looking for a job won't think of you when they run across relevant leads. Everyone's busy and has their own problems to deal with, and you probably won't come to mind very often except to your best friends and colleagues.
So go farther. Ask them to write recommendations for you on LinkedIn. Ask them if they will go through their Outlook contacts with you on the phone and give you email address of people you can approach with their blessing. When I founded my consulting practice, I did this with a former associate of mine and wound up with a dozen great leads, one of which turned into a significant contract. While you have them on the phone, ask if they will be a reference for you and then follow up with an email summarizing your strengths and experience, so they will have it handy if a prospective employer calls.

Don't worry about offending someone or being turned down when you ask for their assistance. People are usually happy and even flattered that you are seeking their help. Very often I've seen former colleagues go out of their way to recommend and help each other even if they weren't on the best of terms when they worked together. I have some strong recommendations from people with whom I had rocky relationships when we were at the same employer and have received some great leads for jobs and consulting assignments from them as well.

Many people I know have found new jobs by building a large network of professional acquaintances and then working it hard for leads. Since many and maybe even most jobs come from personal networks, you are really missing out on some great opportunities if you don't take this seriously and do it aggressively.
5. Be the Consultant You Didn't Know You Are
Although I've been consulting for nearly six years now, I got into it by accident. After my last corporate role, I decided I would find some local company to buy and run myself. While I was looking into this, one of the people I'd worked with years ago called me and said, "Hey, I hear you're not busy right now. Would you like to do some work for us?"

"Sure," I replied.
"How much do you charge?" he asked.

I thought for a moment. "I have no idea."

We laughed, worked out an agreement and I did the project. I read some books on how to be a consultant so I wouldn't do anything too stupid, but I wasn't planning on making my living this way. However, when I finished that project, I began to get calls from other former co-workers and I never did get back to buying that company like I'd planned.

Many people I know who are looking for jobs could also do some consulting. It doesn't take much money to get started and it's a great way to network. Consulting assignments also lead to job offers, which has happened to me more than once. Besides, it sure beats sitting around between interviews.
In my case, consulting has become my career, but it's so easy to get in and out of that it can also simply supplement your income while pursuing full-time gigs. There is no real "risk" other than the very modest time and money required to establish your practice. Besides, the very process of setting up a small business is highly educational and interesting.

Lots of people look for jobs. Aggressive people consult along the way.

6. Flaunt Your References Up Front
Using references is one area where I think the experts are wrong. Supposedly, you shouldn't include references with your resume. In fact, nearly every resume I see ends with some boring statement like, "References provided upon request." The truth is that no one requests your references until you already have the job, at which point they don't do you much good because the game is already over.
I'm of the opinion that it's a bone-headed use of a valuable resource, and here's why: in the rare cases where someone attaches references to their resume, I absolutely cannot resist looking at them to see who they are. It's like the "P.S." on a letter -- you feel like there must something interesting tucked away there and you don't want to miss it.

I first noticed this phenomenon when I was a hiring executive. I received a resume with references attached and they appeared to be very successful and interesting people. I found myself thinking, "Wow, I should interview this guy so I can talk to these intriguing people who are recommending him." And then I grinned and wondered if that was precisely what the individual had intended. If so, he was really onto something.

There are so many resumes in the marketplace right now that it's very difficult to stand out. If you have interesting-sounding people as references, I think that reflects well on you and thus helps you differentiate yourself from other candidates. You may even find some gullible executive like me who wants to interview you just so he can talk to your references. I can't imagine anyone would react negatively to this strategy, so it appears to me that there is no reason not to give it a try. Using references the conventional way is almost useless, and certainly not aggressive.

7. Ask the Illuminating and Critical Closing Question
In any situation where I am closing a deal, such as a job interview or while pitching a consulting project, I always end with a same question:

"Based on the specifications in the job description [or the consulting assignment], how do you feel my qualifications match up with what you are seeking?" This usually yields a slightly startled look, but people seem to like the question and they always open up and give you information you wouldn't have otherwise.

I find this is useful in a couple of ways. Most importantly, it surfaces objections or reservations the other party is feeling about me or my company, which allows me to address them immediately. They'll often say something like, "Well, overall, you appear to be very strong, but I'm not sure you have enough experience in segmentation." This gives me an on-the-spot opportunity to address their concern and help them understand that, because of my experience, I am actually a highly accomplished expert at segmentation.

This question also helps you exhibit an appropriate amount of aggressiveness. You are unafraid to get into sensitive areas with tact and look for answers and resolution. You are the type to surface and deal with the tough issues. This conversation also helps you identify important areas for post-interview communications, like your follow-up letter.

So there you have it -- some tips on marketing yourself more aggressively during your job search. If you have a chance to try them out, please let me know how they work for you. And, most importantly, happy hunting!

The Birth of Executive Coaching

In the late 1960s and 1970s, top agency directors drove government and large-organizational planning. Upper management made the decisions, and middle managers saw to it that decisions were carried out. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, further flexibility was needed if organizations were to thrive, and the hierarchical control of employees began giving way to trust and collaboration with workers. Dr. Dick Borough is the first person known to use the term "executive coaching" while describing his leadership training of businessmen during 1985. Forbes magazine later described executive coaching as a controversial hybrid of management consulting and psychotherapy.

Widespread training was needed to help every worker think and behave like a leader. The training emphasis, at the time, was on business performance, as in total quality management (TQM). Then came the seminar culture with programs on teamwork and empowerment that made the focal point more personal, but training was still focused on immediate corporate issues, and/or goals.

The use of consultants added to the movement toward coaching; they worked with key corporate figures and system interventions. Nevertheless, these approaches to change had one common flaw: they did not last. It then occurred to many people that if organizations were going to create lasting change, the individuals working in them had to change first. Stephen Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, was a major figure in the shift from corporate talk to training highly effective employees.

In the late 1980s, the professional field of executive coaching was born, a field promoting continuous resilience and performance in people and organizations. During this time, the main emphasis of coaching was to assist corporations in formulating strategic scenarios for the future, in light of the changing corporate environment.

The idea was for coaches to work with individuals and integrated corporate systems over time. Management looked upon coaches as their "knight in shining armor" to get the job done and make a lasting impression. Some of the new emphasis that coaches contributed was visionary leadership training, and renewal coaching and transition management assistance.

The major thrusts that assisted in the evolution and shaping of executive coaching came from the field of leadership, particularly entrepreneurial leadership. The executive coaching movement was facilitated by the need for an empathizing and bold approach during the corporate shakeups and out-placement of the 1980s.

Today, executive, lifestyle, and small business coaching are burgeoning professions. The International Coach Federation lists their coaching membership at over 14,000 members, throughout 80 countries. Their research suggests a clear delineation between those who are highly proficient and making an excellent living and those who struggle to tread the coaching waters.

How Using an Executive Recruiter Can Improve Your Employee Retention Rates

Filling a critical job position is never an easy task; the hiring process costs both time and money. So, it's always in the best interest of hiring managers to improve employee retention rates. While there are a number of ways to do this once an employee is onboard through leadership and management styles, incentive and performance programs, and the list goes on... probably the best time to start worrying about retention is at the very beginning--the hiring process.

While most hiring managers think of retaining employees as an action that takes place once an employee has joined an organization, thinking in terms of "retention" when first reviewing potential candidates at the very beginning of the hiring process improves the likelihood of retaining your top talent in critical job roles for longer periods of time. Over the long-term, retaining your top performing employees saves your company time and money on hiring process and training costs, not to mention the costs associated with loss of productivity by having unfilled positions.

Here are four strategies an executive recruitment firm uses during the hiring process to help your organization improve employee retention rates:

Strategy #1) Takes the time to understand the challenges and opportunities that face you and your company:

Executive recruiters partner with you to find the top performing candidate that is the best fit for your business, its' culture, employees, and clients. This requires them to identify your company's challenges, needs, requirements, and management styles allowing for a solid match between you and your new hire. Developing a concise message that accurately describes the situation allows both parties to make better and longer lasting decisions.

Strategy #2) Provides you access to the passive happy talent:
Successful executive recruiters spend every day in your industry working with top talent, approaching and building relationships with them, and ultimately communicating opportunities to them. The nature of the business keeps them in touch with these industry executives on a day-to-day basis, so when you are in need of "top talent", your recruiter knows where they are and how to approach them.

These top performing professionals are busy working in their fields and excelling at their companies-so they're not on the street looking for work. Hiring managers and HR professionals can use their executive recruiter's expertise and connections to get the attention of these high-level candidates.
Recruiters have established a rapport and long-term relationships with these professionals. They are capable of finding the most committed candidates and have a talent for being able to filter out those that may be fence sitters from the outset. Your executive recruiter brings value to you by locating these candidates and keeps your company from taking chances on those that may not commit-increasing the likelihood of a successful long-term work relationship and retention rate, as well as, productivity and revenue.

Strategy #3) Experience in negotiating offers, coaching, and handling counter-offer situations:
When you finally reach a decision and select your top candidate, you want to make sure there are no obstacles in the offer process. The recruiter's expertise helps during this phase and can lend a hand in getting the candidate to accept an offer. A candidate often feels more comfortable expressing any concerns to their recruiter-this gets all questions out on the table early so there are no surprises later. It is the recruiter's goal to make the candidate feel comfortable with his or her final decisions.

Additionally, a recruiter has the expertise to handle what could be a "deal breaker" that threatens negotiations at the end stages of the hiring process-a counter-offer from the candidate's current company. If a counter-offer is introduced during the process, the executive recruiter has expertise in coaching the candidate on how to handle the situation. His expertise lessens the chances the candidate would walk away at this point in the process, leaving you and your company with having to start over.
The recruiter's expertise in these matters help stomp out apprehensions that could rear their ugly heads in negotiations-helping you to retain your chosen candidate even before he or she is onboard.
Strategy #4) Helps a top performing candidate make the transition from resignation of current employer through the onboarding process with your company:

How your new "top performing" candidate is first received into your company sets the tone for his career with your organization. Once the candidate has been hired, your executive recruiter helps the candidate make the transition from the point of resigning from the current company through the initial onboarding process of your company and beyond with periodic follow-up calls. The relationship between the recruiter and the candidate benefits you and your company.

The interest and support the executive recruiter shows the candidate reinforces his decision to move to your company, makes him more confident about his decision, and increases the chances he'll remain with your company for the long haul. Now, he is ready to focus on the role and the work he was hired to do to benefit your company and its' staff.

Leveraging the network and time-tested strategies of a professional recruiter will assist you in hiring and retaining the best individuals.

Startup Business Recruitment Agency

If you are a new business owner, it is a good idea to look around and inspect the services offered by a good startup business recruitment agency during your hiring process. Not doing so could adversely affect the company's growth potential because of wrong hiring. If the wrong person is hired then one is forced to settle with something that is less than the best. In an attempt to control the situation then, the business ends up paying more to get something which it cannot, with the personnel that it has employed. Many companies find it a good idea to turn to a startup business recruitment agency that specializes in finding the right people for the right job. No matter what position the company is looking for-people for top-level sales, executive or marketing positions.

o If you recruit the right people, you don't have to keep re-building your business strategies again and again.

o Recruit capable people, who can wear many hats and hit the ground running upon joining your organization.

It is important to remember that recruits can be often found in rather unlikely places where you did not consider looking for them. Keeping in mind the nature of the recruit is also an important factor, as this will go a long way in suitably filling in the required positions.

o There are of course worries of allowing the agency to recruit on your behalf but, instead of feeling wary, seize the opportunities that they offer.

o Retain a clear picture of what you are looking for, since it's their career and livelihood you're taking responsibility for and you need to justify your choice too.

o Help agencies deliver better results for you by being clear in your brief about what you want.

o Agencies are focused on the job given to them and try to achieve it within a defined time.
For small businesses this is a crucial factor as outsourcing an important job rids the business of a lot of problems. For one thing, it does not have to go into the details of hiring while it simultaneously tries to set itself up. By doing so the business will conserve valuable resources in the form of time and manpower. Also this will allow it to focus on other aspects of starting up, like consulting financial models and choosing appropriate modes of carrying forward the business. Trusting a startup business recruitment agency can also solve the headache of wondering whether the candidate hired is the best person for the job or not.

o You could try online recruiting agencies too, for serious growth and income in your business

o Online recruitments could save a lot of physical running around and unnecessary paper work.
Finding people suitable for highly specialized posts can often be a difficult and hassle-filled process. For a startup business recruitment agency the job becomes a little simpler. As it is their task to find suitable candidates for various kinds of jobs, it is likelier that specially trained people would be known to them, and hence available to the business.

o Agencies have the necessary staff and resources to filter the gross from the class kind of candidates, especially for higher posts.

o Their extensive database and watch over market buzz helps in a proper recruitment.
These agencies would also be in a position to compare pay rates current in the market because of their dealings with various companies. Hence the business that is starting up will have the benefit of having all such vital information taken care of.

When to Use a Recruitment Company and When to Go It Alone

Life is hard for businesses looking to recruit new staff at present. There is a worldwide skills shortage and online job advertisements are at a record high. In response, the recruitment business is booming as employers look for external assistance to ease their plight.

The question is, when should you use a recruitment agency and when should you go it alone? Recruitment agency fees are expensive and you want to be sure you are getting value for your money.
The first thing it is important to understand is that most recruitment firms are really just job advertisers and do not undertake employee selection for you as well. There are some agencies that do and if you require this from them this should be an important part of your selection criteria when deciding which firm to use.

Given that most recruitment firms don’t provide selection services, if you are able to write an effective job advertisement or have other arenas through which you can source potential job applicants yourself, such as through word of mouth from your current employees or through other contacts; or via signs in your place of employment or local area, then you will save considerable amounts of money by undertaking all of your employee recruitment and selection process yourself.

A recruitment firm can offer you great benefits if you are looking to hire staff for short periods of time and also wish to use the recruitment company’s services as an outsourced employer. The recruitment firm will charge you an hourly or daily rate for the contractor and also act as the worker’s employer and will be responsible for insurances, salary, superannuation and all employee benefits.

Although this is generally more expensive than if you act as the employer yourself, there is just a single invoice to be paid rather than the workload associated with an additional employee. Also the recruitment firm takes all the risk and you can ask for replacement staff at any time if the employee is not working out like you hoped or if you no longer require their services. This can be particularly useful if you require particular skills for only a short period of time, for example you need an accountant to help you out at tax time or a receptionist to fill in whilst your regular employee is on leave. Using a contractor through a recruitment firm can also often be cheaper than using a professional services firm.

A recruitment firm can also provide you with benefits if they are expert in a particular industry or employee market. They may have specialized knowledge of where to find and how to attract employees of particular skills types. If you are unable to attract the employees you want yourself, you may require the services of a recruitment agency that has good industry contacts and can headhunt the appropriate staff you require.

Whilst most recruiters are sales professionals (not employee selection specialists), some agencies hire staff with extensive experience in a field (e.g. electrical engineering) and teach them how to recruit and place. Recruitment consultants who themselves have the particular skills and experience you require, are generally better able to understand and assess what it is that you are looking for. This means that the quality of the short listed candidates that are provided to you to assess will be higher.

Many employment markets are so large that for a business to initially screen all applications for a position would be so time consuming that it could result in lost business whilst this process occurs. This is particularly the case in large cities such as New York and London, however this problem also occurs in cities within the EU where applicants readily apply for and move to new jobs right throughout the region. The use of recruitment firms in this instance can save considerable time and stress provided that correct selection and screening procedures are utilized.

Similarly, if you do not have the time to undertake the recruitment and selection process yourself and the cost to your business in lost business or business development opportunity during the recruitment process is more than the cost of utilizing a recruitment firm, you should definitely consider outsourcing your recruitment. If you choose to go this route however you should insist that your chosen firm undertakes the whole process for you and uses scientific selection methodology.

At the very least your recruiter should undertake background and reference checks on your behalf and use behavioral based interviews. Otherwise you will end up having to put in just as much time and effort yourself anyway to assess the applicants they send you. If not, the effect of your outsourced employee selection process will be just as effective as taking a lucky dip from a hat. And you will have to deal with the consequences, which could not only include you being stuck with a less than productive employee, but even a disaster. I can assure you that the time and effort required to performance manage a poorly performing employee or one with a bad attitude is much, much more than would be required to undertake a successful selection process in the first instance.

In summary, recruitment firms can provide you with many valuable services, particularly in such a tight employment market as it is at present. It is important however to assess potential recruiters carefully and ensure that they provide you with the services you require.

Need A Good Job Fast? Here's What To Do

If you need to a job fast, consider a Temp Agency. A Temporary Assignment Agency can often put you right to work in just one or two days, assuming you have some basic employment skill sets to offer. Those skills could be as simple as fundamental office filing or data-entry or receptionist skills, sales skills, or basic light-assembly skills for factory oriented operators; or could be as sophisticated as Engineering expertise, CEO or CFO know-how, or senior level management.

Be sure you live in a place with population enough to support a Temp Agency or two. Too rural or remote a location may mean there are no employers to consider. But, even if you are in a small town, it's a good bet employers there are hiring people with marketable office skills, customer service or sales know-how, data entry, retail experience, light labor, assembly, customer service and other temp oriented gigs. Whether you are trying to get your feet on the ground in a new town, or you are just entering or re-entering the workforce, temp jobs may make for excellent, sometimes well paying, "interim" employment. That means your resume doesn't have an empty spot where there should be a job entry. And, behind the scenes, if you choose, you can search for more permanent employment.

An easy place to find Temp Agencies is through advertising in local and regional newspapers. Many Temp Agencies advertise in newspapers because the Agencies have ongoing need for new employees. Temp Agencies can also be found online. Search for a Temp Agency online by including the City/State or the town where you live. For instance, such a web based search string might look like this: "temp job (agency or staffing) st louis" where the city is tagged onto the end of the search string. Reach out to Temp Agencies you may find online. Find one you can respect and trust. Get the hiring process started.

By the way, many Temp Agencies pay fast too. They understand that many of their Temp employees want to get paid A.S.A.P., or sooner, for whatever reasons. Many Temp Agencies will accommodate that quick pay preference.

Your skill sets or training background or even industries where you may already have some practical employment experience often drive and guide a "fast" job search result with a Temp Agency. Make such a list of your own skills and employment experiences, regardless of how short term they may be. That list could help guide a Temp Agency to identify new employer prospects with whom you may find paid labor.

GOOD LUCK IN YOUR JOB SEARCH

Benefits Of Working With a Headhunter To Find Your Next Job

You may not have considered contacting a headhunter yourself to help you land your next job, but you should. Headhunters can prove to be your greatest job-hunting resource and all at no cost to you. Here are seven of the top reasons to work with a headhunter to find your next position.
1. Free Services. Job seekers don't pay for the headhunter's services. The company that ends up hiring you does. This is typically a percentage of your first year's salary. Since recruiters don't get paid until you get hired, they are very motivated to place candidates. Along the way you may gain valuable advice and insight from your recruiter, as he or she tries to prep you for your interviews.
2. You Spend Less Time Job-Hunting. Let the recruiter do the hard part of finding jobs for which you are perfectly qualified. You won't have to spend hours searching sites for jobs you may or may not qualify for. A recruiter generally knows what positions are open in your field that you qualify for and can do this search much more quickly than you could yourself.
You'll have to invest some time upfront by talking to the recruiter on phone or in-person. This conversation helps them get to know you, your skills, what kind of position you're looking for, your salary requirements and if you're willing to relocate for a position. It's also a way for recruiters to get to know your personality a little and that can help them find the right placement for you more quickly.
3. Get Professional Advice And Assistance. How does having your own personal career coach sound? A recruiter can help you hone important interview skills. They're also intimately familiar with what employers are looking for and can give you advice on how to best answer questions. They may even know exactly which questions certain employers routinely ask so you can better prepare yourself.
4. Benefit From The Headhunter's Connections. A headhunter knows A LOT of hiring managers. That gives you an edge. A hiring manager is likely to pay extra attention to a resume that they receive from a known recruiter as opposed to a resume they receive from a nameless candidate (you). Not only that, the headhunter will likely be able to contact the hiring manager personally and talk you up. It's like having your own personal cheerleader!
5. Gain Access To More Jobs. Many times recruiters have access to unpublished openings or may even know when a company is planning to hire additional staff or create new positions. Through their inside contacts, headhunters can get you an opportunity to interview for these hidden opportunities. This reduces the amount of competition you're up against and you are again benefitting from the recruiter's connections.
Like any other field, recruiters have colleagues in other agencies. If they don't have the position you're looking for, they may have a colleague who does.
6. Get Paid More. Recruiters probably know what a potential employer is willing to pay you. They may be able to push the offer higher than you could yourself if they negotiate on your behalf. Many are willing to do this because their compensation is likely based on the salary you accept.
7. Keep Your Search Confidential With A Headhunter. If you're worried about your employer stumbling across your resume or hiring managers trying to contact you at work, a recruiter can be a great middleman. All paperwork and contact can flow through them, keeping your search confidential.
All in all, working with a headhunter to find your next job can only benefit you. You'll spend less time job-hunting, and are more likely to get noticed by hiring managers, be better prepared for the interviews and be in a better negotiating position when an offer is made.
