Recruiting’s Biggest Secret: SpeedHIRE (And The 6 Simple Steps to SpeedHIRE Success.)

“Gail, I really need your help. I’m in crisis mode,” said Karen, in a voice that trembled with stress and worry. “I’m stretched to my limits, and now the CEO wants my team to tackle an enormous hiring project.”

This is the gist of a phone call I recently had with Karen, the HR Director of a mid-sized media company.  She needed to staff 14 various positions — some F/T, others consultants, and all management level or below. With minimal support staff, quarterly reporting and goal-setting responsibilities, Karen was already inundated with a slew of demands. She felt tremendous pressure, knowing that her performance would be judged by the outcome of this recruiting initiative

I really felt for her. She was overwhelmed.

Little did Karen know, I had a proven solution! I suggested that she exhibit at one of my firm’s upcoming, national SpeedHIRE events. At the next local event, I explained, she would be able to conduct dozens of fast-paced interviews with pre-sourced, screened and EXCLUSIVELY invited candidates. A far cry from the typical job fair.

Karen signed on and, as I expected, had great success. In fact, as of last Friday, Karen had already secured 80% of the talent she needs without lifting a finger to recruit. As more and more Fortune 500s can attest, SpeedHIRE is recruiting’s biggest secret.

Want the details? Here are the 6 simple steps to SpeedHIRE success.

1) CALL to schedule a strategic staffing session: Discuss your open temp and F/T positions. Once we thoroughly analyze and assess your job requirements, we’ll get to work as your headhunters.

2) GIVE US 3 WEEKS to work our magic: Before the event, our staffing pros will use proven, human recruiting practices to painstakingly source, interview and qualify several top, passive candidates for each open job. These qualified candidates will receive exclusive invitations to your local SpeedHIRE event.

3) ATTEND a SpeedHire event in your area: Upon arrival, you will be matched with your Personal SpeedHIRE Roadie, who will be by your side throughout the day to ensure total ease and efficiency.

4) INTERVIEW MANY INVITED candidates:  The SpeedHIRE Tour Manager will monitor the clock as you meet each candidate during a concise, 6-minute Xtreme recruiting sessions –think “speed dating for talent.” These increments give you enough time to determine which candidates you want to pursue.

5) FOLLOW UP: Once your initial meetings have concluded, you can arrange follow-up interviews, either then-and-there, or at a later time, at your office.

6) MAKE OFFERS! It’s THAT fast. Imagine, interviewing and potentially filling numerous positions in just ONE day!

Can you imagine a more efficient way to meet qualified, targeted job candidates? I asked Karen this question and she answered, “NO!” In fact, she met more exceptional talent – over 50 prescreened candidates — in one day than she could have done in weeks.
