What does it take to be titled a Good Recruiter? If we had to answer, there would be a tie
between finding the right talents and filling vacancies as and how needed. By the right talent we
mean a candidate who fits not only the job description, but also the company culture. On the
other hand, filling vacancies as and how refers to the situations where recruiters need to fill
multiple positions, hire fast, or both at the same time. The recruiter who emerges successful in
both the processes is the one who has aced ‘the subtle art of hiring the best’.
Why is the hiring process essential? Why is the screening important? That is simply to ensure
that the candidate who joins the team can fulfill the tasks to be assigned to him/her. More so, it
is to ensure that this candidate can adjust in your company’s work culture. These things cannot
be compromised on, and some efforts from a recruiter’s end to ensure.
When involved in the process of hiring, following are some factors that they should account for,
to find the right fit-

● Employment type, i.e., whether you’re looking for a freelancer, part-time employee, a
full-time employee
