A Fresh Perspective on Recruiting

As we head into the holidays, it’s the perfect time of year for reflection. 2020 may not hold our favorite memories, but there are just a few short weeks remaining.  This time is sure to include the holiday hustle, end of the year reviews, budget analysis, and planning for what’s to come.  

As you look into 2021 from a business perspective, there’s likely one certainty. Whether due to increased demand or provoked by turnover, hiring will be on your 2021 to-do list. At CRB Consulting Group, we're here to take the hassle out of hiring.

As we ring in the new year, the pandemic won’t magically disappear, and life as we knew it may not instantly return at the stroke of midnight. But 2021 is sure to include positive turning points. Does your hiring process keep you up at night? Then one of your New Year’s resolutions needs to be streamlining recruiting. It’s time to have an open mind about new and improved ways of doing business. Embracing change is a must for your success and sanity!  ​

Embracing Change

If you’re like us, you’re a people person.  You miss the in-person meetings, the handshakes, and actually seeing the smile on your teammate’s face.  We don’t want to hide behind a mask any more than you do.  But at CRB, we’re choosing to see the positives that have come out of this strange year.  The curveballs 2020 threw our way have shined a light on our true purpose. We’re here to help:

• We help people get back to work
  
• We help bring efficiency to HR departments
  
• We help improve retention rates 
  
• We help reduce the cost of hiring
  

If you’ve struggled with the changes, you’re not alone.  But we’re here to encourage you to look for the silver lining as you plan for 2021.

What’s new in 2021

While you may be skating by during this busy time of year, envisioning how you want next year to look can benefit your company. So what’s on your 2021 to-do list?  While no two lists will be alike, gaining efficiencies, and spending wisely will likely intertwine themselves into everyone’s goals.

Whether your staff has been bouncing back and forth between the office and home, your production lines are working around the clock, your healthcare facility is bursting at the seams or for those of you in transportation, the wheels have never stopped turning — at the core, these struggles all trickle down to your team.  The people.  

Would saying goodbye to an inbox filled with unqualified candidate applications make you more productive?  We’d bet highly on this one.  Knowing where and when to outsource can be a real struggle for business professionals.  

You have a ‘do it all’ mindset.  And while we have full faith in your abilities, there isn’t enough time in the day to do everything efficiently and effectively. If you’ve been struggling with hiring and staff retention, we highly encourage you to review our services.

Remaining focused on your big goals is more important than ever.  Remember, you don’t have to have every step mapped out today.  In fact, short-term plans and goals are often the most effective in an ever-changing landscape.  This allows you to remain nimble and pivot when a curve ball comes your way.

Your bottom line

Believe it or not, a solid human resources department can have a significant impact on a company's bottom line.  From skilled labor and line workers to health aids, and truck drivers — hiring continues to present its challenges. And bad hires, short-termers, and turnover cost your company and negatively affect your bottom line.

When you hand the candidate selection process over to CRB, we’ll introduce you to prequalified, direct-hire candidates. We work on a retainer structure, which means no pay-per-hire or commission style relationships.  At the end of the day, we have to perform to maintain your business and to build lasting relationships.

So what makes us different?  When you start working with us, you’ll immediately have budget clarity around hiring.  You can cross the resume shuffle off your to-do list.  And you gain access to our geo-targeted technology that puts your job post right into the hands of ideal candidates, literally.  We’d love the opportunity to share more!

At the end of the day, we’re ready to be your partner in recruiting, hiring, employee retention, and even training.  So whether it’s over virtual coffee or behind a mask, we’ve embraced the new normal and we’re ready to partner with businesses eager to grow as we head into 2021 — a year sure to be filled with opportunity, growth, and hope.

Whether you’re here in our SE Minnesota neighborhood or hundreds of miles away, our technology and process can be applied to your industry.  Give us a call to learn more about the opportunities available for your unique business.
