Talent Acquisition and Modern Recruitment Techniques

When it comes to Talent Acquisition, there are plenty of different  recruitment methods to take into consideration. There are many variables to consider as you do this, from the budget and time to the role that requires filling. 

It is important to consider the type of candidate you would like to attract because depending on the skill set required and the level of expertise necessary for the role it can be difficult to find the right fit for a company. 

Depending on the resources available, it may be beneficial to consider hiring an external source, in other words, a Talent Acquisition agency to find the ideal candidates for the role. This slashes the strain on internal resources and guarantees a much larger pool of candidates to choose from. 

 What are the different methods of Recruitment? 

Broadly speaking, there are two main types of recruitment: traditional and modern. Below, we detail each one in-depth.

1. Traditional Recruitment

In traditional recruitment, the search is generally conducted internally by the Human Resources department. It can include methods such as internal promotion, the use of existing networks within the company, and advertising through traditional methods. 

In this context, traditional methods refer to print advertising, a vacancy being put on your company’s website or in the local employment office. Even temp agencies can be useful, as long as the job is relatively low-skilled. 

While traditional methodologies have worked well for a long time, a new era of technology is being hustled. Traditional methodologies for recruitment are being pushed out for being too expensive and too time-consuming for the modern workplace setting. They are also an ineffective way of searching for truly rare-finds within industries.

2. Modern Recruitment

Modern Recruitment harnesses the power of technology to track down potential candidates. This typically includes online job boards and Social Media sites, usually LinkedIn, but other Social Media channels can be used if it is deemed appropriate for the company and the role requirements. 

Other styles of recruitment can also be considered as modern recruitment, such as online recruitment agencies and Inbound Marketing. Modern recruitment styles save the company’s Human Resources department a lot of time in comparison to traditional methods.  

For instance, a paper-run advert takes time to print, and further time to receive the applications. It then presents a burden on the department responsible for filtering through all of the resumes in order to find suitable candidates, and then even more time to begin the interview process. In general, this process is time-consuming and a drain on resources. An alternative option would be to hire the services of a Talent Acquisition agency. 

This is beneficial because it means that only a final shortlist of qualified candidates is presented to the company. They simply need to interview each candidate and decide which would be the best fit for your organizational culture. It’s time-efficient and, depending on the fee of the recruitment agency, can be extremely cost-efficient as well as most agencies only expect payment after the right candidate is found. 

Recruitment agencies also have a much better pool of resources and a much better existing network of contacts, without mentioning the fact that they use other modern recruitment methodologies. What does this mean for your company? It means that you are more likely to find the perfect match much faster than you would be using in-house recruitment techniques.
