Corporate And Non Profit Recruitment Strategies

By Betty Cooper


While there are some aspects of a job search that apply to corporations, partnerships and small business, there are also some which are more dedicated. For one thing, those looking to locate a job through non profit recruitment do not have as many resources as others. Although, with websites such as Action Without Borders, Non-Profit Staffing and Non-Profit Employment, qualified individuals can often find a position.

The hiring process tends to be a function of the personnel or human resources department whether going through an agency or applying with a company. When it comes to small business, entrepreneurs, owners and managers are often in charge of the hiring process. For, the term recruitment, as defined by Wiki, refers to the location, selection and attraction of candidates which are a good match for an open position. The term also refers to paid and volunteer opportunities.

While some companies prefer to hire directly or through a career fair, there are others who list open positions with personnel agencies, temporary agencies and consulting firms. Depending on the level of employment desired, skills and experience, individuals can make application to one or all three of these type agencies. Although, unless one has experience as a supervisor or manager, or is a professional, using a personnel or temporary agency might be more beneficial.

When seeking a job through a temporary agency, many agencies will require an individual take a skills test, and interview with an agency manager. After which, depending on skills and experience, the individual will be sent on various short-term and long-term temp assignments. In some cases, these individuals are so impressive, the company may contact the agency in relation to hiring the individual. Whereas, in other cases, if an individual does not work out, may request a replacement.

If going through a temporary agency, there will most likely be a skills test required. These tests are often based on past employment history and information provided on a resume. Whereas, when applying with a consulting or contract firm, these representatives often confirm information before requesting a personal interview. After which, if the company is interested in the individual based on feedback from the initial interview, there are often multiple interviews at the company before an offer is granted.

Whether applying directly with a company or agency, it is imperative that the applicant have all documents showing eligibility to work in the country where the position is located. In the United States, this includes a social security card or work visa. In others, these requirements can be found by contacting the labor board or associated organization.

Resumes are often the first introduction to candidates before an interview. Most often, these agencies will forward a resume to discover whether a company might be interested in a candidate. As many jobs require some aspect of a skills test or confirmation of skills and experience, candidates always need to be honest in this regard. If not, then those individuals will most likely have lost any job of interest before the interview process begins.

Lastly, individuals need be cautious about paying to apply for a position, purchasing equipment and software, or acquiring a check to purchase materials as part of the hiring process. For, there are currently a number of work-at-home and money laundering scams occurring in this area.
