Pnet is streamlining the recruitment process for South African SMEs
As a small- or medium-sized business owner, chances are you’ll be looking for the right candidate at the right price – either now or sometime in future.
ou may also be considering how the future growth of your company depends on your capacity to increase your headcount.
Given these factors, it is likely that you require a quick turnaround time when it comes to filling your job vacancies.
Any time you spend on recruitment is time you’re not spending on your core business activities – sifting through CVs, shortlisting candidates and conducting interviews is not only time-consuming, but it may also feel daunting.
However, if you want to scale your business and grow, sooner or later you have to recruit.
It is important to resist the temptation to settle on the first available candidate rather than taking the time to find the right person for the job.
As you grow, the last thing you want is to lose new customers and clients, because you can’t provide them with the service they deserve.
Generally speaking, rushing your hires and recruiting the wrong people will cost you at least four months:
- One month, for the initial hire
- One month to realise they’re not the right person and fire them if you’re lucky
- One month to hire the next employee
- One month to settle in the new employee successfully
Hiring the wrong person for the job can have serious consequences for your bottom line, but the good news is this can easily be avoided when you partner with Pnet.
With a database of 6 million jobseekers, Pnet is the leading online recruitment platform in South Africa and can help you get from the CV search stage to the interview stage with minimal disruption to your daily tasks.
Take the headache out of hiring with Pnet’s Response Handling solution
Pnet is more than a job-board. We fully know, understand and adhere to best practice when managing the recruitment process for SMEs and believe every business should be empowered to win the right talent to ensure future business success.
Our Response Handling Team can help to make the matching process a seamless one for you. As experts on our system, they know how to input your job description to get a list of suitable, quality candidates from your job ad.
They will also create suitable shortlists and manage candidates on your behalf, so that you can get on with your core business activities until you’re ready to review the shortlisted candidates and set up time to interview them.
Our process is simple. All you’ll need to do is provide us with a detailed job description, your shortlist criteria and a closing date. We will manage the rest…
First, we’ll generate an advert with a link to a uniquely designed questionnaire, structured to your criteria, to rate and score applicants.
Then we will shortlist successful applicants and send out regret letters to unsuccessful applicants. Successful applicants will be shortlisted in a designated folder for you to review, and you can then decide who you’d like to invite for an interview.
Having a responsive recruitment partner like Pnet at your side also ensures that quality candidates are not left hanging in the process, which could negatively affect your brand image.
Candidates appreciate clear and consistent communication from the recruiter and employer as to where they stand in the process.
This can include more personalised communication in the latter stages of the selection process, prompt replies to inquiries from the candidate, and consistent updates about the next steps in the recruiting process, for example the date of next interview or the deadline for an assessment.
