Keeping Your Business Afloat

Few things are more stressful than trying to keep your business alive and well when all of the odds are against you. I found myself in this situation a few years ago when a competitor released a product that was almost identical to ours. It was really frustrating, and I had no idea how to go through and keep my business profitable. I tried and tried to think of different ways around it, but I ultimately decided to start working with a foreign manufacturer to create better products. This blog is all about keeping your business afloat, even when everything seems to be working against you.

If you are planning to start up your own recruitment company, finding the best candidates for jobs can help you become a great success. Many companies do not have the time to find the right employees on their own so they hire a recruitment company to do this job for them. Below are two tips to help you get started.

Use Online Recruitment Software

Instead of spending time posting job postings all over the Internet, use online recruitment software instead. There are many types of recruitment software available, so you need to make sure you choose the right one.

The software provides you with the tools that you need to make the hiring process much easier and help you stay organized. Instead of manually posting job advertisements to one website at a time, this software allows you to post across many platforms at once.

The software packages you look at will have certain features, but they will not all be the same. The best feature you should look for is a software package that automates the entire hiring process. Besides posting across multiple job websites, as well as social media sites, the software should post the advertisement to niche job sites, which can be very useful if you are a tech company or need creative employees in a certain area. Other features you may find include:

  • Accepting applications online
  • Accepting resumes
  • Creating pre-screen questionnaires
  • Offering video interviews
  • Establishing workflows
  • Maintaining employee schedules

Talk with several recruitment software companies to determine what would work best for your needs.

Enhance Your Own Website

You need to take time to enhance your own website. It should always be up to date and have helpful information. For example, you could put articles on your website that help job seekers determine the best job for them, give them tips on going to interviews, etc.

The look of your website can also make or break your company. If someone navigates there and immediately sees a bunch of bright colors, images, and videos, this will make it very difficult for them to find the information they are looking for. Instead only use a few images, such as your company's logo, and keep the colors subdued. A dark background with light text is easier to read, and the font itself should be a standard font and not a font that is cursive.

Hire a website designer to help you if you are not sure what you should do.
