So you've decided to grow your business by bringing in some young, early years talent.
If you've not recruited students before, you'll want to be sure you have a thorough process in place so that you identify the best people early on and reduce your cost per hire. These young people have less work experience than other people you've hired so less evidence to give you at interview of their suitability for the job. They will however, have developed lots of transferrable skills whilst studying, working part time and through their various sports and interests that will show you their potential to be great hires.
We offer you a user friendly, engaging way of interviewing and assessing candidates that predicts success in the role. We'll review and optimise existing processes too, finding cost savings and introducing you to new methods of assessing that are used by experienced graduate and school leaver employers.
Great candidate experience is vital and you'll need a robust, inclusive, efficient process that showcases your core values and engages individuals. You're looking for your next generation of talent, the people who will stay with you and add long term value to the business. They are a challenging group to connect with due the constantly evolving way in which young people communicate and are inspired.
You need to impress the best people with your professionalism and warmth as well as the speed at which you respond to them.
