  • The recruitment process involves searching through online job boards, reviewing resumes, conducting multiple interviews, writing job descriptions, and more. As a business owner, your time and energy should be focused on growing your business and improving your bottom line, rather than sifting through resumes and organizing phone interviews. 

    In recent years, recruitment has increasingly relied on artificial intelligence (AI). According to HR Dive, 57% of companies already use AI in hiring, and 74% believe it has improved the quality of their hires. While AI technology has helped companies by analyzing candidate language, handling communication, reviewing resumes, and scheduling interviews, there are still concerns surrounding potential AI bias and inaccuracies.  

    While it may look like AI is the future of employee recruitment, there are other ways for business owners to review potential candidates and streamline their hiring processes that don’t involve unreliable AI technology. One effective solution business owners can utilize is a professional employer organization (PEO) partnership.  

    PEOs and Recruitment

    Recruiting, hiring, and training employees can be time-consuming for employers, but teaming up with a PEO like Group Management Services (GMS) can simplify this process. 

    1. Knowledgeable team

      By partnering with a PEO, you gain access to a range of services and the support of a knowledgeable team of experts. Your dedicated human resources (HR) team serves as your main point of contact and is available to assist with any questions or concerns related to the recruitment process, HR compliance, specific candidates, and more. GMS’ recruitment team can help you write job descriptions, job ads, and implement effective recruitment strategies. They can review applicants and conduct phone interviews, providing you with the extra support needed to hire the right candidate. 

      2. Partnerships with job boards and applicant tracking

      One of the most challenging aspects of recruitment is attracting the right candidates. It can be difficult to find individuals who are experienced, focused, and have the specific skills required for the role. GMS’ partnership with Indeed and LinkedIn simplifies the job posting process by reaching a broader pool of applicants.  

      3. Assistance in managing the recruitment process

      The recruitment process involves managing multiple responsibilities at once. At GMS, our team is fully equipped to support every stage of the recruitment process, including crafting compelling job descriptions, posting openings, reviewing resumes, and conducting phone interviews. Business owners gain access to powerful tools that simplify and optimize hiring workflows through our Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and GMS Connect. An ATS tracks potential candidates throughout the hiring journey and provides valuable insights to business owners and our recruitment team. Onboarding and training are seamlessly managed through GMS Connect, our advanced Human Resources Information System (HRIS), designed to simplify and enhance the employee experience. 

      Negative Impacts of Using AI In Recruiting

      While there are several benefits to using AI for employee recruitment, such as cost reduction, task automation, and interview assistance, it also comes with notable drawbacks that business owners should carefully consider. Utilizing AI technology can lead to potential privacy concerns and HR compliance risks. Many organizations haven’t established policies for AI, which increases the risk of non-compliance and privacy violations.  These violations can lead to employee distrust and monetary penalties. AI technology also has a history of reinforcing bias, leading to unfair treatment of certain demographic groups.  

      GMS acts as your recruitment partner by providing your company with the knowledge, technological support, and expertise needed to interview and hire the right candidate for your open positions. Whether you need help with writing that perfect job description, have questions about the interview process, or need help posting a new open position online, we can lend a helping hand. Running a business is challenging enough; let us take on the administrative burdens associated with employee recruitment.

    1. Hiring and recruiting the right talent is essential to building a strong, productive, and engaged workforce. A thoughtful recruitment strategy not only fills open roles but also strengthens your company culture and the long-term success of your business.

      The recruitment process isn’t an easy one. Finding the right employees to add to your workforce takes time, effort, and attention to detail, which can distract you from growing your business. To enhance your hiring processes and recruit the best talent for your team, consider implementing these best practices. 

      1. Write clear and specific job descriptions

      The recruitment process starts with a well-written job description. Clearly outline the role’s responsibilities, required skills, expectations, and benefits. Including personalized details about your company culture or team dynamics can help attract candidates who are not only qualified but also aligned with your values. This will help attract qualified candidates and those aligned with the role, reducing the risk of making a bad hire.

      2. Post on job boards

      To attract the right talent, it’s important to expand your talent pool by posting on multiple job platforms. Websites like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Handshake are excellent options for reaching a diverse group of potential candidates. The more exposure your job postings and company receive, the higher your chances of finding a qualified candidate. 

      3. Offer employee benefits

      The key to attracting a skilled and experienced candidate is focusing on what your company can offer them. Make sure to highlight your company’s perks, culture, and benefits during the hiring process. Providing health benefits showcases your loyalty and dedication to employee well-being, ultimately improving morale and trust between employees and their employers. Offering group health coverage, supplemental benefits, and telemedicine are also great ways to attract and retain top talent.  

      4. Streamline the onboarding process

      Once a candidate accepts an offer, keep them engaged with a smooth onboarding process. A strong start sets the tone for long-term success and your working relationship. Make sure to provide information on benefits enrollment, the payroll process, and where to find important resources, such as the employee handbook, to ensure that your employees are aware of proper company procedures and where to go when they have questions. 

      5. Use employee referrals

      Encourage your workforce to refer candidates from their networks. Employee referrals are on of the most effective recruitment strategies, often resulting in faster hiring, better cultural fit, and higher retention rates. When employees recommend someone they know and trust, it typically leads to candidates who are more engaged and better informed about the company’s values and expectations. Consider offering incentives to motivate participation in your referral program. 

      6. Review and communicate

      Stay on top of your recruitment process by regularly communicating with your employees. Ask questions regarding their experience, what they liked and what they wished they had learned to identify areas for improvement. Continuously practicing open communication is essential for a streamlined and quality onboarding process.
