While many companies look at human resources departments as overhead support, they are critical to helping companies succeed, especially when it comes to hiring and online recruitment. Human resources can improve business’ returns on their ongoing investments – their employees.
Attracting Talent Using Online Recruitment
Human resources departments need to understand how sales departments are structured, what they are selling and to whom they are selling it to so they can assess the position and help find the best candidates for the sales team when conducting online recruitment.
Sometimes it’s not enough to simply find someone that fits the job. HR professionals can help find a candidate that fits the company, whether it’s someone on-site, remote or available to work on weekends.
Onboarding
Having a seamless onboarding process usually takes several days to weeks. To help save time, have new hires fill out all their paperwork in advance, which helps to reduce overhead time and allows them to start their sales training immediately.
Family-Friendly Environments
Instead of only focusing on sales numbers, create a family-friendly company culture. You may not have as many sales, but you’ll retain far more employees. Competitive companies that set higher sales goals and don’t focus on a family-friendly environment often experience double-digit sales employee turnover. Unfortunately, we all know that employee turnover affects bottom-line profits.
Hiring Efforts To Boost Online Recruitment
While many human resources departments and companies tend to focus on extremes, such as attracting top performers, we tend to overlook that most people are average performers. Focus on attracting average to above-average performers, instead of wasting valuable time trying only to recruit the top tier. By incentivizing middle performers, you can help them become top performers.
Given the right resources, human resources departments can help sales teams find the best candidates to boost their revenue and become a long-term team player.
