Before-needs Recruiting: Future-proofing Your Candidate Pipeline

Traditional, reactive recruiting will always leave you short-staffed and running behind. A “before-needs” approach ensures that when an unexpected vacancy arises, you’ll be ready to engage. The following clip contains the simple formulas that you need for a more strategic approach to your time-to-fill metrics.

Best practices:

• Remember that time-to-fill is an operational metric, not a result.
• Align with sales and marketing strategy to fill vacancies in revenue generating functions before they happen.
• You don’t need high-tech tools or host of analysts at your disposal; through trial-and-error, you can develop a consistent process for projecting future staffing needs.
