Are potential hires vanishing from your recruitment process?
Spending countless hours screening applications for the same roles?
If you answered yes to any of the above, it’s a telltale sign that points to a deeper issue: a leaky recruitment process.
Frontline workers serve as the backbone of most businesses, ensuring smooth operations day in and day out. Yet, filling and retaining these indispensable roles can be tricky.
In this article, we explore the importance of enhancing frontline recruitment processes, how to double the tenure of such workers, and where you can find more best practices, resources and tips to retain your frontline workers.
Why you need to improve your frontline recruitment process
Your frontline staff play a pivotal role in your organisation. They fuel performance, drive profitability, and foster growth. They are also often the first point of contact with your customers and are responsible for maintaining the day-to-day operations. In essence, they are the lifeblood of your business.
However, many companies still rely on an old-school approach to fill these key roles.
The job advert is copied over-and-over when hiring to re-fill vacancies, CVs are then screened for skills that are often not really needed for the job, and there’s an interview that probably doesn’t reflect what the job entails.
This results in high turnover rates, dwindling team morale, and a growing pool of unfilled positions can result from this short-sighted strategy.
Moreover, the impact of a subpar hiring process, including negative Glassdoor reviews, is amplified in the context of high-volume frontline recruitment.
