While it sounds like it should be easy to hire hourly workers, it’s not. The recruiting tactics and techniques that work for exempt professional positions don’t necessarily translate into the hourly worker’s candidate experience. However, going back to manual recruiting processes isn’t the solution either, especially since your hourly workers might also constitute your frontline employees, which means you have to source, assess and hire the best!
Without the right technology in place, driving cost-effective, standardized hourly hiring processes is impossible. One of the major pitfalls of not having a consistent approach and central repository for candidate data is the inability to build a viable candidate pipeline and retrieve that information when hiring needs dictated by growth and turnover occur. Using manual processes, every time a position needs to be filled, recruiting managers are required to duplicate efforts to identify qualified candidates, compounding the time it takes to get people into open positions. In addition to being an inefficient use of company resources, these cumbersome manual processes inhibit the ability to rapidly identify candidates who are most likely suitable for the job.
For candidates, who often express frustration with both the application process and lack of communication once they have applied for a job, the experience immediately improves once the hourly hiring process is automated. While everyone may not have the skills, experience and qualifications necessary for the job, they are likely a potential customer and an ambassador for your company’s brand. Delivering a positive experience contributes to better reputation management in the marketplace and sets the stage for a first-rate professional employment experience should the relationship progress to the hiring stage.
