We have come up with a few interesting tidbits, having worked with human resources and hiring managers for some time now:
1. Delegate the "trench" work. Give your external recruiters all the pertinent info they need to qualify a best candidate pool (i.e., salary range, bonus %, replacement or new, time factor, etc.). Even last names of candidates already submitted is a huge time-saver for everybody's time element. Top recruiters ask these questions and need this info.
2. Supply hiring manager (HM) "hot buttons". Give your recruiter the top 3 bullets points that your hiring manager can't do without. What are the best skills HM wants in the ideal candidate realizing she/he can't get the perfect candidate all the time.
3. Insist on a candidate write-up or skill set summary included with resume. Require your recruiter do a brief summary on the candidate with SPECIFIC details and insight as it relates to candidate. HM's love this! This makes your HR job a lot easier too.
4. Communicate with your recruiter. Email and/or call your recruiter with an up-to-date candidate status report. A quick phone call works best. If the message is "keep candidate warm" then give reasons why. This will prevent recruiter voicemails from filling up your inbox!
