276. What Difference Could ‘Blind Hiring' Make To Your Workforce?
August 25, 2017
‘Blind hiring’ has been increasingly talked about in recent times. Indeed, even the Canadian government has used it, stating that it did so with the intention of reducing unconscious bias and promoting gender and ethnic equality.
But is blind hiring worth the hype, and how could it benefit your own firm?
First Of All, What Is Blind Hiring?
It’s the term given to the practice of anonymising or ‘blinding’ any information about a candidate about which a hiring manager recruiter could possibly be biased.
The fact is, even if you don’t consider yourself to be biased, we all ... (read more)

279. 5 Things You Definitely Need In Your Next Customer Service Employee
August 18, 2017
Customer service hiring is something that so many employers get wrong. They often treat customer service as if it’s an entry-level position, rather than representing the ‘face’ of their company.
So, how can your firm and its Recruitment Agency get better results from its customer service recruiting? Looking out for these five key candidate characteristics is a definite start.
1. Empathy
Yes, we may be in a customer service world increasingly dominated by life-like ‘chat bots’, but even the best of them can’t replicate the empathy of a real human being.

August 17, 2017
As a courier driver, you’ll know that expanding your customer base whilst providing the best service you can is a costly, stressful and often very tiring job. However, joining a courier exchange could be your chance to make your job a lot easier and your business more successful. Here are four reasons why it works so well.

If you want to grow your capacity, the most obvious solution would be to buy more vehicles and hire more drivers. Yet this move can cost thousands of pounds, isn’t guaranteed to be successful and holds substantial risk. With a courier exchange,... (read more)

282. Technology and the Courier Driver
August 16, 2017
From smart phones to GPS tracking systems, technology is revolutionising the way courier work is carried out. But just because the big delivery companies can afford the very latest software, it doesn’t mean the average independent courier needs to be left behind.
By utilising the technology you already have (your smart phone can be your most useful business tool) you can offer the same, if not greater, level of service than the industry’s major players.
Make the Most of Your Smart Phone
Today’s smart phones can be loaded with apps which will not only plan the quickest, most fuel... (read more)

283. Clean, Green Reforms Open Up Opportunities for Drivers
August 16, 2017
There has been some good news for self employed van drivers making a living from courier jobs, with the Government’s recent announcement on reforms to the licensing rules.
In an attempt to reduce emissions to zero by 2050, but in recognition of the important role vans and couriers play in the economy, the Government has said it will increase the size of vans covered by the B-category licence from 3,500kg to 4,250kg.
The category B licence is the same standard licence that covers drivers of cars, making it easy for individuals to set up a business as a self employed van driver undert... (read more)

285. 3 Ways To Make Culture Central To Hiring Process
August 12, 2017
There have been quite a few interesting changes to worker attitudes in recent decades from the older to the younger generations. However, one of the most intriguing is undoubtedly the shift from an emphasis on pay and benefits, to one on the ‘culture’ in which one works.
Millennials – the generation born roughly between the early 1980s and the early 2000s – are by no means uninterested in a good salary or career advancement, but one thing that they definitely do care about is company culture.
So, how can you make your own organisation’s culture central to its hiring process, thereb... (read more)

289. How Do You Keep Your Company Culture The Same As Your Business Grows?
August 04, 2017
You might think there’s little point trying to ‘control’ or ‘preserve’ company culture. After all, culture is a fluid and changeable thing, right? Wouldn’t it be best to just allow it to evolve naturally as your company grows and past and new employees past through your revolving door? The truth is, though, that there are real benefits to taking an intentional approach to your company culture and attempting to preserve its most important elements over time. Talented candidates are attracted to companies that have a great culture, as are potential clients and customers.

291. Sometimes, Even Your Best People Need To Be Moved On
July 30, 2017
Yes, you read that right. Losing a great employee isn’t always a mortal blow – or even necessarily a blow at all. We aren’t just talking about those times when the worker may have got a better offer elsewhere. We’re also talking about you being proactive enough to drop even the best people on your payroll if it could benefit your company as a whole.
Yes, it does sound crazy – at first. But here are a few reasons why it could make perfect sense.

292. 10 Tips for Summer Job Search Success
July 25, 2017

Ford R. Myers, career coach, speaker and author of “Get The Job You Want, Even When No One’s Hiring,” (John Wiley & Sons, 2009, http://www.getthejobbook.com) says, “Summer is no time for job seekers to be trading-in their business suits for swimsuits or their briefcases for beach bags.

July 23, 2017
A lot of things about the corporate world may seem to have already changed in 2017, but one thing that definitely hasn’t is the necessity of ensuring that every department of your company is performing as well as possible.
That is certainly true of your HR department – if it suffers from glitches, inefficiencies or poor all-round performance, one of your company’s higher-ups may have to intervene, having been distracted from their core duties.
So, what can you do to stop all of that? By outsourcing your hiring function, that’s how – and here are three great reasons why.

296. How Technology Can Help To Build A Great Company Culture
July 14, 2017
You may think of technology as cold, impersonal, the kind of thing to boost bottom-line productivity and efficiency perhaps, but hardly an aid for that most human of things – company culture.
Yet, the right technology – tactically deployed – can indeed help to build and maintain the right culture at your company.
It’s not a case of trying to replace the distinctly human element of culture, but instead of incorporating technologies that have been carefully chosen to alleviate day-to-day pressures on your workers and assist your firm’s drive towards its broader goals.

297. Sometimes, The ‘Best Candidate' Isn't The Best Candidate
July 07, 2017
Recruitment Experts across the land are likely to tell you all about the importance of choosing the best candidate for your vacancy. However, the term ‘for your vacancy’ is in many ways the key one – and more than that, you need to make sure that person is also the best candidate for your company.
Let’s give you a demonstration of what we mean. Yes, a given candidate may seem to be the perfect one for your open role. They may have the skills and the experience – but when you put them in the mix of your company, with its specific values and culture, existing employees and other requiremen... (read more)

300. Even Employees Who Stay With You Can Be Affected By Attrition
June 30, 2017
A high level of employee attrition in a company is one of the biggest reasons Recruitment Firms like Webrecruit get approached. It’s a struggle that all too many business owners are familiar with, to the extent of some organisations being forced to replace the equivalent of their entire workforce each year.
Such extreme attrition rates – combined with the many months that it can take to find and train up a replacement for every departing staffer – makes it all the more crucial to determine both the causes and effects of attrition.
One of the often-overlooked factors is the impact t... (read more)
