However, to reach this state of managerial level, here’s what you must do first.
Manager Rules For Recruiting and Hiring:           
  1.  Prepare job description and mention the key objectives of the job: Every job has 5-6 key objectives that every individual must fulfill successfully. When contacting candidates it is essential for recruiters to know the job specification this way the new opening can be a good career move.
  2.   Benchmark the performance of your employees for the job: This is perhaps the most reliable method when making choice among number of variables. For example, if your best engineers collaborate closely with product marketing before designing anything, add this to the performance-based job description.
  3.  Transform major characteristics requirement into performance objectives: Since these factors are very subjective, it helps to convert each one into a task. For example, among many common traits communication skill helps the sale department on various occasions such as presenting in a meeting.
  4.   Always value potential over experience: Don’t totally depend on exact skills and experience match. Instead, tell your recruiters you want to see people who have accomplished more then your expectancy by analyzing their previous record. This will open the talent pool to the new comers.
  5. Try to check everyone recommended by the recruiter: The recruiter must ensure that the recommended candidate has accomplished the tasks given in performance based job description.
  6. Conduct a 30-minute phone screening before calling someone for interview: This will not only save your precious time by interviewing every single candidate, it will also minimize the impact of first impressions for those you do see.
  7. Compare candidate’s skill and performance with the standard set in job description: Use the Most Important Interview Question of All Time for this.
  8. Be fully engaged, flexible and available: Hiring managers need to invest extra time in the whole process to ensure that the desired candidate has a good understanding of the job and its upside potential. 
  9. Clearly define your vision about the job and its impact on the company: Hiring managers not only hire people just on favoritism basis but the people who take challenges accept such proposal from their managers.
  10. Take responsibility for finalizing the candidate: The best people will accept challenges who are mentors and can become role model for others. Recruiters can orchestrate the process, but it’s up to the hiring manager to seal the deal
While qualified recruiters are expected to find, qualify, and present top people in front of hiring manager, this is only one most critical step in hiring process. However, the manager must be fully committed and fully engaged on the other side.

10 Valid Reasons For Hiring Recruiter


This article is particularly for those working in the recruiting industry. Just to be contrarian, here are the 10 reasons why Manager's hire recruiters.
  1. They lack the ability and required skills to prepare a job-description.
  2. They also don’t know how to classify the worker under different salary packages especially low paid jobs.
  3. They mostly depend on HR or the recruiter to come up with skills and competencies. Non- HR professionals have an innate knowledge of skills and competencies, but do not have the vocabulary to describe them.
  4. It's a difficult job to assess someone’s potential. Most managers just want to fill a job especially at lower levels. At more senior levels either they rely on recruiter or promote someone from the lower rank on his/her performance.
  5. Managers already have too many things in list to do and hardly get time to see everyone recommended by the recruiter. That's why they hire the recruiter.
  6. Managers are incapable to phone-screen candidates. This provides another reason to hire a recruiter.
  7. The recruiters match the skill and experience of candidates with the organizational work environment and the required academic qualification before the final selection.
  8. At the time of interview differences occurs between the manager and the recruiting department.
  9. Managers are concerned about their own jobs rather than the new job opening.
  10. Today companies recruit experienced peoples rather than go to hunt fresh talent, even the experience of their past wasn't satisfactory.
