If you want your company to grow, you need to employ the right people.

The people you choose to hire need to be handpicked carefully to ensure that you are hiring for growth at all times.

We cannot emphasize enough the importance of regularly tuning in to the KeenHire Blog to find out what is hot and new in the world of human resources and employee selection. Hiring for growth is not something that comes naturally to every employer and therefore any help or advice you can get from employment experts, like those at KeenHire, should always be welcomed with open arms.

Tips for Better Hiring: Resume Red Flags

Cher once sang a song about knowing how much a man loves you by measuring the quality of his kiss. Don’t underestimate the powerful messages of a resume and how much they can reveal about a potential employee from the very beginning. What do resumes really say about candidates applying for a job in our companies?

The following information highlights some of the most important resume red flags that all employers should be aware of so that they can learn how to hire better and recruit the perfect candidate for each and every position within their company. KeenHire knows what the resume red flags are and we know what kinds of candidates you should avoid at all costs....

Typos
If a potential employee cannot even manage to send you a CV that is free from typing errors when applying for a job in your company, why would you even consider interviewing them, let alone hiring them?

If there are typos in a candidate’s CV, the advice that the recruitment experts at KeenHire would give you would be to ignore their application completely.

Contact our Recruitment Experts... Job Boards Just Aren’t Enough

If you have been advertising a position within your company for a significant period of time already (a few months of more) and you have had no success in filling that position, something is wrong with regards to your human resources approach or the way in which your human resources personnel are working in this area.

This is the perfect time to contact the recruitment specialists at KeenHire so that we can help you find a solution for your recruitment problem fast.

Sometimes contracting someone to fill a very important, integral role within your company can take a very long time. When the job that you are advertising is one of the most important within the company, decisions should never be taken lightly and it is hard to find effective employees for these integral roles, because they are, more often than not, already employed elsewhere.

However, if the position that you are trying to fill is one further down the ranks in the company’s hierarchical structure and you have had no success over a number of months, there is something that needs to be fixed in terms of your recruitment approach and it needs to be fixed fast.

Recruiting Problems: How Unemployment has Clouded the Candidate Pool

How has the recent period of unemployment made it difficult to hire the right person? Why do you need to advice and expertise of the hiring and selection specialists at KeenHire now more than ever?

The issue is that the increased levels of unemployment have generated a large number of people looking for work, but a large number of people of poor caliber.

In general, the employees who are worth anything in any way have already been snapped up by other companies and this has left a large volume of “employee dregs” at the bottom of the recruitment pool. The human resources training team at KeenHire is ready and waiting to lead you through the process of effective recruitment in these times at any time.

We have a number of different processes, programs, strategies and ideas that we want to share with you as soon as possible, and in particular our Conscious Hiring Process, which will help you to filter out the garbage and employ only the very best.

Hiring Tech/Software Employees in the 2010s

Technology and software is developing at an incredible rate and it will no doubt continue in this vain in the years to come. Therefore, as technology advances and new industries are created (new roles and positions are generated within your company) how are you preparing yourself to find the best software developers and the best computer programmers in the business?

The employment and recruiting specialists at KeenHire know how difficult it can be to find the best software develop for your company because we are contacted every day by many businesses who are experiencing the exact same problem and who are finding it difficult to hold on to those creative and effective computer programmers once they have them within their grasp.

So what is the key to hiring the best software developers of the best computer programmers and then keeping those employees loyal to your company for years and years to come? How can you improve the way in which you approach the hiring of technology whizzes in the bizz?

Forget about the job boards
The demand for technology experts is huge because the industry is developing fast and no business can really now survive and grow without an internet presence of some kind, so forget about advertising on jobs boards.

Recruitment: Why Change is Good

Global employment is changing rapidly. Within the last 20 years, we've witnessed highs and lows that have redefined the way talent is acquired, assessed, and implemented into the various business environments of the modern world. This change has been a result of global events, government regulations, and a changing economic climate that has demanded efficiency. Not only is this change revolutionizing the recruitment and hiring process, but is benefiting both recruiters and growing companies alike.

An Employment Rant From An Outsider's Point Of View

Getting hired hasn't been a problem for me, nor do I foresee it becoming one in the future. Saying that may surprise many people, especially given the current state of employment in this country, but I'm not done... I'm 20. Now I know what you're thinking, "Damn kids, look what's being put into their heads. They've got no sense of reality," but the only thing I have to say is that times are changing.
