What Are the Recruitment Solutions?
The hiring problems listed above can interrupt your focus on
growing the business.
However, you
are not alone, as every company faces these same problems. Now, let’s focus on the solution.
Step 1: Define your Ideal Employee
Before you start hiring, identify your ideal candidate first. This is important
because you'll
hire, pay, and give them responsibilities in your company, therefore you need to know them and
trust them.
-
Who are they? Seniors, professionals, fresh graduates,
interns from top universities,
freelancers?
-
Where do they live? Do you accept applicants from all over
Malaysia or only from a specific
region?
-
What do they want? Does their expected salary match with
your company salary budget? Do their
career goals and values align with your company?
-
What can they do? What technical skills, hard and soft
skills, language skills, qualifications
and certifications, are needed for the job?
-
are they? How can you reach these people? What online
platforms do they use and how do they
search for jobs?
When you have the answers, keep them in mind as we continue. You can even use the
above
information to instantly search for candidate profiles, such as using AJobThing’s People Search
tool that surfaces the top-matching profiles from our database of over 2million job seekers.
Just save the profiles you’re interested in and contact the candidates at your convenience.
If you are hiring for multiple vacancies, don’t worry: bulk hiring services such as
Shoutout helps
you fill up to hundreds of vacancies in a short time by using highly targeted digital
recruitment marketing campaigns.
Step 2: Attract the right candidate
Now you understand the situation and know your target. The next step is getting an
applicant to
your job vacancy. As job seekers today are mostly young people familiar with technology,
therefore the best media to reach them is the internet. Your job posting information must be
accessible on all devices, along with every detail, alert and notification about the job,
application, and interview.
The challenge is:
-
Does your company have a website or app?
-
Do candidates know about your website or app? How do they know you’re
hiring? How will you
attract qualified candidates to visit or download?
-
If you post jobs on social media such as LinkedIn, is your brand popular
enough and have a good
reputation to get attention and gain trust?
-
How effective is your job description?
That’s why using a recruitment platform like AJobThing helps you reach the right job
seekers by
posting your job to both localized job portals and international job websites such as LinkedIn.
Maukerja is the top choice for
English and Bahasa Malaysia-speakers, while Ricebowl is preferred
for English and Mandarin-speakers. Both are our websites with apps available on Android and iOS,
used by around 8 million active job seekers to find jobs in Malaysia. By using AJobThing, you
can leverage on our brands’ strong presence across social media and blogs with millions of
readers, and WhatsApp groups based on job specialization and industry.
You don’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to writing job descriptions: for
example,
AJobThing offers more than 500 high-quality templates containing relevant keywords, common job
requirements and benefits, which you can edit to your satisfaction.
Step 3: Use the right process
So you’ve posted the job ad, and you’ve got your first applicants. Now what? Keep in
mind that a
quality candidate will probably have several other companies interested in their profile. How
can you stand out?
The first rule is to respond quickly. It’s normal for job seekers to apply to many
jobs on
various platforms, the recruiter who waits weeks to reply will miss out when the candidate
already gets an offer from other companies. We know it’s time consuming to compose emails and
organize interviews, so here are some templates you can use:
On AJobThing, managing applicants is a simple one-click process where you can even
contact,
shortlist, reject, and hire applicants in bulk. This makes it convenient when your job gets many
applications. We will also send real-time notifications and updates to the job seeker so they
know their application status.
