The Apollo Recruiting Handbook is about how to recruit great employees whilst saving heaps of money by doing a professional job yourself.
Many small and medium businesses do their own recruiting, not always with the best results. Many have found that using recruitment agencies or consultants is costly, or that their practices and commitment to getting the best staff is not as high as would be liked.
So this DIY Apollo Recruiting Handbook has been developed by recruitment professionals with many years experience to help businesses find and appoint the best employees suited to the job.
The Apollo Recruiting Handbook can be obtained FREE from http://www.mysmesite.com/recruiting-book.
Here’s a sample page to give you an idea of the great content you’ll find when you obtain your own free copy online.
STEP 1. SELECTION CRITERIA
1.1 Determine Selection Criteria
So exactly what skills, qualifications, knowledge, experience, and personality attributes do you want for this position? Failure to clearly define your needs right from the start makes it extremely hard to choose the right person. A Position Description states the duties to be performed, and is useful in determining selection criteria, but may not refer to all the qualities needed, especially those personal attributes required. Your selection criteria become the yardstick you measure applicants with.
Skills/competencies/experience
Examples: Familiar with Microsoft Office
At least 5 years industry experience
Proven success in business to business sales
Qualifications/knowledge/references
Examples: Minimum Diploma of Accounting required
Fork lift drivers certificate essential
Attitudes/Motivations/Values/Beliefs/Career Drivers
Examples: Leadership Skills, Interpersonal Skills, Customer Service Orientation, Sales Aptitudes.
These are best objectively assessed through using a properly validated psychometric instrument. Use of such tests is optional, and historically these tests have been most used by larger organisations trained in interpretation of reports, and can afford them.
However the Apollo Profile personality assessment has been especially developed to be used and understood at face value by users with little formal training, and is priced to be affordable. The Apollo Profile is a superior way to objectively evaluate 34 vital job-related characteristics that are difficult to assess through interviewing.
