How to secure the best candidates for your business

Written by Sam Ray from Beyond The Book

For many businesses across the region, the challenge of finding great talent is ongoing.

“We just can’t find good people” is a phrase we hear time and again. At Beyond The Book, we know how critical it is to hire people who deliver value and ROI; and we know what it takes to make that happen.

As Anna Smith, one of our recruitment experts, explains: “Our mantra is simple: it starts with a need for the best people, it ends with employee ROI, and in the middle is exceptional recruitment.”

So, what really goes into exceptional recruitment? It’s much more than posting a job advert.

Here’s our approach to securing the best candidates for your business:

1 Proactive search: We combine advertising with active searching across multiple tools and platforms to access not just job seekers but also passive candidates.

2 Rigorous filtering: We dedicate the time to thoroughly assess candidates, ensuring none of the best are overlooked.

3 Multi-channel engagement: Candidates’ attention is limited, so we refresh our efforts regularly to reach the right people in a fast-moving, multi-channel world.

4 Trust and credibility: The best candidates are discerning. We leverage our integrity, expertise, and reputation to earn their trust.

5 Transparent communication: From job descriptions to interviews, candidates want detailed and honest information, and we help employers to deliver it.

The next time you’re hiring, ask yourself: Are you looking for 100s of CVs or the very best of a few?

At Beyond The Book, we specialise in helping businesses secure exceptional people for permanent and interim roles.

We also offer tailored consultancy services to empower businesses to recruit more effectively themselves.

As Chamber members, we’re happy to pass on preferential fees to fellow members.
