Strategic Recruitment Support

People Strategies LLC can be utilized as a resource to design and implement a recruitment process or be contracted to fill specific positions on a contingent or retained basis. Our objective is focused on meeting your organizational, team and financial needs. Many of our clients retain People Strategies LLC to work with the Human Resources team to evaluate, develop and implement a detailed recruitment process with organizational measurements while transferring the knowledge to the team. We are then utilized on a retained basis to work with the organization to fill specific positions.

In addition, we can also build a comprehensive recruitment model that has become a proven best practice in many organizations. The steps in the process include: Organizational Assessment, Candidate Sourcing, Candidate Screening, Behavioral Interviewing, Selecting, Hiring, and the Orientation Plan Development. This program can also be contracted with an objective to document and train the Human Resource Team.

Organizational Assessment

People Strategies LLC will conduct an extensive assessment of the organization. This involves assessing the culture and employment brand of an organization which helps build the recruitment marketing message. We also conduct interviews with Hiring Leaders, selected team members and/or peers. This step also involves the development, enhancement or modification to the Organization's Position Descriptions and Position Specifications. People Strategies LLC will develop a Position Description and Specification based on the assessment and information gathered which will be provided to the Hiring Leader. These forms will help narrow the search thus increase the speed to fill each position.

Sourcing Step

As part of the recruiting strategy, People Strategies LLC employs various sources to attract and source candidates for posted openings. These sources include creative use of technologies, cold calls into target companies, network of professionals as well as targeted advertising. People Strategies LLC will also help organizations develop an extensive referral program, which will help the organization reduce recruitment expense while also providing a measurement of employee moral.

Screening Step

People Strategies LLC will screen every qualified candidate based on the information gathered in the assessment. The notes from the screening step are documented and formatted in an organized overview of vital information received during the phone screen.

Selection Tools (Testing)

Once a qualified candidate has been identified through the telephone screen, we will administer various testing tools that will help further qualify the candidate based on the specific positions. These tests have been statistically validated by third party Organizational Psychologists. Each test measures specific competencies and behaviors applicable for the position.

Interviewing Step

Qualified candidates proceed to the Interviewing step in the New Employee Acquisition Process. People Strategies LLC will interview all qualified candidates focusing on three primary areas:

  • Personality and Cultural Fit
  • Skills and Knowledge
  • Education and Experience

Once a core group of candidates are identified, People Strategies LLC will personally present a detailed overview of each candidate highlighting the screening, testing and interviewing results to the Hiring Leader. People Strategies LLC will also coordinate any and all logistics for each candidate at the discretion of the organization.

Selection Step

After a candidate is identified, People Strategies LLC will perform background checks and reference checks prior to extending an offer. People Strategies LLC can also provide current economic job market data as well as current compensation data through the use of various compensation tools.

Hiring Step

People Strategies LLC can help extend the offer to each candidate negotiated on behalf of the organization.

Candidate Report

People Strategies LLC will also provide weekly staffing reports for each position highlighting the number of candidates in each step of the process. This will provide you and your management with a clear view of the candidate pipeline, which can be utilized for organizational planning purposes. The Staffing Report is distributed by e-mail to hiring managers as well as Human Resources. The report includes a cumulative and weekly update on the status of the recruiting process.

Measurement Process

In order to continually improve the recruiting process, People Strategies LLC also tracks recruiting measurements - number of days to fill a position, sources and the average number of candidate presented for each position. We also provide industry trend reports, which provide a snapshot of economic conditions compared to the specification of skills desired.
