Amp up the recruitment process: quality vs quantity

Mashudu Nenjelele • Sep 14, 2022

The great debateOver the years, there has been continuous debate about a qualitative vs quantitative recruitment process. Do you interview many professionals in a short period and increase your chances of finding the right candidate for your role; or do you play the waiting game until you find the perfect candidate?

What generates success is actually a combination of both processes. From a recruitment perspective, the ultimate success is to find the right candidate for a vacant role the first time around.

In this blog, Network Recruitment will share tips to help amp up your recruitment process.1.  Get in touch with a specialist recruitment company

The hiring process begins when the need for a new hire emerges. Many employers who don't have the time to look for specialised skills contact a specialist recruitment agency such as Network Recruitment. This is because our specialist recruiters exclusively focus on sourcing high-calibre skills for different employers in the IT, Finance and Engineering sectors. Furthermore, they maintain and develop relationships with these candidates. As it currently stands, our candidate database is home to over 600 000 talented professionals. If you're looking for a candidate, we can assist. 2.  Collaborate and host events with recruitment agencies

Professional events are a great way to network. In an article titled 'How to hire for quality and quantity at the same', co-founder and co-CEO of ThirdLove, Heidi Zak, shared that while these can help attract talent and foster professional networks, they also create a platform for professionals in the industry to discuss new ideas and projects where everyone who participates can benefit in some way or another.

For example, Network Recruitment co-hosted an event with the South African Institute of Tax Practitioners (SAIT), where tax professionals were able to participate in discussions and share information about trends in the tax industry. We saw many professionals build and develop relationships with each other and are proud to be associated with this type of initiative.

For many organisations, recruitment has become a challenging and time-consuming process. However, if you have a specialist recruitment agency such as Network Recruitment who spends a great deal of effort attracting and screen candidates to fit your needs, it makes the process easier.
