Recruiting tip
- applicant debriefing
An applicant should call the recruiter with the
interview results as soon as she/he can get to a phone where they
can talk in private. She/he has to trust that this is in her/his
best interest. The objective of the debriefing is to prepare for the
call to the client and to continue the closing process which was
started in the initial contact with the applicant.
A small plug for our software recruiting,
staffing or executive search database is in order
here. The nature of recruitment is such that incoming
calls from applicants or clients cannot be predicted and almost
always have to be taken. A good applicant tracking or resume
database should allow the switching from a search project to
handling the immediate incoming call in a way natural to the recruiter's
workflow.
Closing issues which should have been addressed
before the interview.
| 1. The kind of job he/she wants,
the type of company, the work environment, the type of people
he/she wants to work with, type of supervision he/she is
looking for. |
|
| 2. Location - they are prepared
to take a job in this location and they are planning to
commute or relocate. If relocation is in the plan, then
relocation dollars have been addressed and you know whether or
not this is a prerequisite to accepting the job. If it
is, what are the dollars involved? |
|
| 3. Salary |
|
| 4. Start
date |
|
| 5. Counter offers, is he/she
prepared to turn down a counter offer from his/her present
employer. |
|
| 6. How the spouse feels about the career
change and what he or she wants from it.
|
When the applicant calls, he or she
should be asked.
| 1. 'Describe
the interview in detail.' |
| 2. 'What
questions were asked?' |
| 3. 'What
were your answers to the questions?' |
| 4. 'How do
you feel about the job?' |
| 5. 'Do you
want the job?' |
| 6. 'What are
the names, with correct spelling, of everyone you talked
with?' |
| 7. 'What is
the starting offer, the start date, title and position?'
Do you have authority to accept on their
behalf? |
| 8. 'What do
you have the authority to turn down?' |
| 9. 'What was
your impression of the client's
interest?' |
| 10. 'What
might the client see as drawbacks?' |
| 11. 'What
can you bring to this job?' |
| 12. 'How did
the client leave it?' |
| 13. 'Did you
fill out an application?' |
| 14. 'Did you
provide references?' |
| 15. 'What
references did you provide?' |
| 16. 'Was salary discussed; if so, what
did you say about salary?'
