Good Recruiter?

Good recruiters don’t just do their every day tasks well.They
make sure their company constantly attracts and keeps good
people. Recruiters not necessarily have to come from HR
backgrounds, though.
Experience in any functional areas like sales, customer service
fields can foster good recruiting skills.

Build relationships
Recruiters have to reject more candidates than they hire. A
Good recruiter will turn rejections into relationships.You
should remember all small, positive facts of your rejected
applicants and use them to keep in loop.
You emphasize candidates’ strengths and may even suggest
other jobs they would be suitable for.And you stay in touch
for future openings.

Think ahead
Good Recruiters don’t just wait for a job vacant to start looking
for candidates.They connect passive candidates and create a
strong network. If they observe a department growing, they
team up with managers to forecast their hiring needs.
They participate HR talks to stay up-to-date with recruitment
trends. HR is all about development – for employees and
companies alike – and a good recruiter keeps that in mind.

Be open minded
Should a recruiter reject a software developer with a badly
structured resume? Recruiters be supposed to read between
the lines and find testimony that candidates’ skills really
match their job requirements. Operational and behavioral
interview questions can help recognize competent
candidates.
Instead of hiring another ‘beer buddy,’ an efficient recruiter will
deem a candidate who’s a ‘culture add’ – not a ‘culture fit.’

Empathize
Recruiters need to think from a candidate’s perspective. If they
want to attract great people, they have to comprehend
what’s needed to them and see what an employer can offer
them.
Good recruiters don’t have to become masters in JavaScript
to recruit web programmers, but taking a quick online course
could help them get a better idea of what a programmer
really does and what extra qualities they should be looking
for.

Brilliant at the basics
At the end of the day, a winning recruiter is someone who has
mastered the basics. If they’re not familiar with labor
legislation, they could sprint the risk of asking illegal
interview questions. Or, if they say the erroneous things
when sending emails to candidates, they could totally hijack
their company’s recruiting efforts.
To increase their value, good recruiters employ different
interview processes for each role. Recruiters need to care for
their candidates with respect and professionalism.
