As an employer, you know how crucial it is to have the right people in the right places. After all, the success of your organization depends on it. But how do you find that perfect match? How do you make sure that new employees not only have the right skills, but also really fit your corporate culture? At Panthion, we have developed a unique approach for this.
The importance of careful recruitment and selection
First, let’s look at why a well-thought-out recruitment and selection process is so important:
- It increases productivity and performance. Employees who are well in place are more motivated and effective;
- It reduces employee turnover. When people are truly in their element, they are less likely to look for something else;
- It saves costs. Wrong assumptions lead to expensive mismatches that you’d rather avoid.
Research shows that a wrong hire costs an organization an average of 38,000 euros. That adds up quickly!
The Panthion method
But how do you get this right? At Panthion, we believe in a holistic approach:
- We look beyond the resume. Of course education and experience are important, but we also look for personality, motivations and potential;
- We take our time. A good selection process is not a rush job. We take the time to really get to know candidates through extensive interviews and assessments;
- We involve the entire organization. Recruitment and selection is not a matter for HR alone. We ensure support and input from the entire team;
- We think ahead. We not only look at the current vacancy, but also at the future. How can this person grow in the organization?
Research shows that organizations with a diverse workforce are 35% more likely to have above-average financial results. Diversity pays off!
Tips for employers
Want to get started with strategic recruitment yourself? Here are some tips:
- Take the time to develop your employer brand. Who are you as an employer and what makes you unique? Use this in your job market communications;
- Write job postings that not only describe the position, but also paint a good picture of your company culture and the type of person you are looking for;
- Use different recruitment channels. In addition to traditional channels, consider things like employee referrals, social media and recruitment events;
- Involve your current employees in the selection process. They can judge better than anyone else whether someone will fit into the team;
- Continue to invest in your people even after they are hired. Offer training, advancement opportunities and a good work-life balance.
