The Recruitment Process to Fill your Brighton Job

Good quality employees can prove to be tricky to recruit but you can't run a business without them! Filling your Brighton jobs with excellent employees could actually turn a poor company into strong and healthy company. BrightonJobSearch is pleased to offer you some advice to get you through the recruitment process so you can find the perfect person for your Brighton jobs.

I know it can often feel like these miracle workers are mythical and essentially impossible to locate. The often commented on ‘skills gap’ can make sourcing the ideal employees for your Brighton jobs difficult for so how do you set about it?


Why is the process of recruitment so vital?


The recruitment process is essential as if you get it right you virtually eliminate the possibility of taking on the not ideal person for your Brighton jobs. Get the process wrong, and you will find that you don’t even receive applications from suitable candidates, much less find them during the selection process. This means you’ve wasted good money on a defective recruitment process.


An overall company strategy for resourcing and recruiting workers


Recruitment shouldn’t simply be considered as a process to fill your existing employment needs but should be regarded as a part of an overall company strategy for resourcing and recruiting personnel for your Brighton jobs. Once you have filled one of your Brighton jobs, you should have a record of applicants who you could consider for the same or other Brighton openings in the future. This could make the process much easier and cost effective for filling your future Brighton jobs.


Recruitment is not purely about filling your Brighton jobs


Recruitment is not only about filling your Brighton jobs. The process exposes your company to the public. Think of applicants as prospective clients so if an applicant has had an unfavourable experience with your organisation, you be sure that they are likely to tell people about it and word gets around. It’s crucial that the whole recruitment process for your Brighton jobs creates an excellent impression of your business


How do you go about finding the right candidates for your Brighton job?


Firstly, you have to create a ‘job profile’ making sure that you yourself fully understand what you require candidate for your Brighton jobs. Ensure you have knowledge of the legal aspects of advertising your Brighton jobs (for example discrimination) before you begin. Brighton & Hove City Council / East Sussex County Council websites will have some useful information.

You naturally also need to put your adverts for your Brighton jobs somewhere to give them the maximum exposure. The most often used include:

• Job Boards such as BrightonJobSearch

• Brighton Recruitment Agencies

• The Brighton Job Centre

• The Argus
