A practical solution: Recruit SMART
This Forbes article does a great job explaining the concept of working SMART. In short, are you concentrated and focused on achieving results?
Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing some ideas and tips to help construction recruiters on this topic!
What does it mean for a recruiter to work SMART?
A recruiter who’s processes, work activities, and tools are optimized to achieve recruiting results. As teams and as a company, the same concepts apply at a macro level.
What’s a first step you can take as a recruiter (or leader) to work SMART? ??
Get focused on what delivers results. To get results, you must eliminate waste and friction. You must slow down and critically assess how you utilize your time each day and how that leads to your individual or team results.
As a team or individual, answer the following questions:
What are the top three things I do in the week that consume the most amount of time but don’t lead towards results?
If I could magically eliminate one task in my week to help me achieve greater results, what would it be?
What recruiting task or activity, that used to help me in the past, isn’t delivering the same result today?
If I could automate or streamline one process or activity, how much time would I save a week (or my team)?
