As a recruitment officer you obviously want to get the very best applicants for the jobs that you advertise. Jobstar Australia have a few tips in choosing who will be the best fit once you have advertised.
How to Get the Best Applicants
1. Eliminate those who will not be available in your geographic area – those from overseas or from other cities who do not indicate they will be available in your area.
2. Jobstar has a system whereby you can choose the right candidates who have the key skills whilst ignoring those who are only applying to get government benefits instead of working.
3. Check out that their skills match the key skills advertised.
4. Many of applicants who are looking for work may have New Australian names. Sometimes they may have been born here. They may be perfectly qualified for the job. They may have an accent or speak Aussie-English perfectly. Always, but always check out their resume and treat them as you would like to be treated yourself. The best person for the job is your aim.
5. If the position is for a labourer do not insist on a resume. People who want to work hard are not necessarily able to put a resume together. Ask them to come in for an interview.
6. For professional jobs resumes are a must, and references are preferable.
7. Schedule an interview for your preferred candidates.
