Duties of a Professional Recruiter A recruiting process should identify, contact and screen ALL available candidates, not just the ones who have their resumes posted on the internet. A recruiting process should result in a high impact long-term employee. If you are trying to perform the duties of a recruiter you are working IN you business rather than ON your business and this is an inefficient process.

Precision and excellence in recruiting are required. Although many more pitfalls could be added to this list, every CEO should at least avoid the following: • Failure to Lay the Proper Foundation • Shallow Sourcing • No Sense of Urgency • Superficial Interviewing
- 5. Know Us…Know Success.Know Us…Know Success. #1 Failure to Lay the Proper Foundation “I needed to hire someone yesterday. How fast can you start?” Your team is overworked, stressed, exhausted. You need to hire someone for that vacant position now. But, in your haste, you don’t lay the proper foundation. A proper foundation can ensure long-term successful hire. Don’t reach for a solution before analyzing the problem. JK Consultants, a recruiting professional, can help walk you through all the steps that will lay the proper foundation and ultimately lead to a successful hire.

Is your search process attracting only the aggressive candidates who have resumes on the internet? JK Consultants casts a wide and deep net to recruit those top performers. We have a deep sourcing strategy to reach and attract selective and passive candidates who are not actively looking for a job.

After all, I have hired the other members of my executive team.” Initial screening for experience and technical skills may eliminate some very qualified candidates. Human resources interviews are usually polite and superficial since they are trying to represent the company in a positive light. Many CEO’s try to hire a candidate that is just like themselves. It is common to hire based on personality or charm. JK Consultants will prescreen each qualified candidate under the magnifying glass. JK Consultants can help a CEO develop a well-structured interview and selection process. Do you have employees who perform differently than expected from the interview? If so, it is time to call JK Consultants.
