Recruitment Process
What is Recruitment?
Recruitment is a process of identifying, screening, shortlisting and hiring potential resource for
filling up the vacant positions in an organization. It is a core function of Human Resource
Management and process of choosing the right person for the right position and at the right
time. It also refers to the process of attracting, selecting, and appointing potential candidates to
meet the organization’s resource requirements.
Importance of Recruitment
Recruitment is one of the most fundamental activities of the HR team. If the recruitment process
is efficient, then
It helps in creating a talent pool of prospective candidates, which enables in selecting the
right candidates for the right job as per the organizational needs.
What is sourcing?
A sourcing is a strategy by which viable candidates are identified by organizations with a hiring
need or by the executive recruiters or search consultants who have been hired by those
organizations. This strategy is composed of multiple candidate sourcing techniques, which are
typically used in combination to maximize results.
Basically, there is more than one recruitment sourcing method. The way in which these methods
are used depends upon a wide array of factors, some of which include:
The resources at the disposal of the person (or people) utilizing the strategy
And the list goes on and on. The point is this: an overriding talent sourcing strategy is composed
of individual candidate sourcing techniques. The way in which the overriding strategy is
composed depends at least in part on the factors listed above.
Okay, so now that we know what a recruitment sourcing strategy is and how it’s composed of
multiple candidate sourcing techniques, what are some of those techniques?
Of course, many hiring authorities and recruiters (both in-house and third-part) maintain their
own recruiting database of candidates. When these hiring authorities and recruiters have a job
order, they often automatically check their own database first as a way of sourcing candidates.
Of course, the better your recruiting application tracking system is, the more quickly you’ll
find the candidates you need.
It seems almost everybody does this, right? Well, while just about every company does it, not all
recruiters do. There is still a contingent of search consultants that refuse to add job posting
boards and job board integration to their candidate sourcing methods. One reason is that
online job postings usually attract active job seekers but aren’t great passive recruiting strategies.
The latter are usually top performers at their current employer, are busy and compensated well,
and aren’t even looking at online job postings.
So do job boards really work? The effectiveness of this candidate sourcing method depends on
who you ask.
In addition to searching candidates that have applied to job board postings, try a resume search
using Boolean search methods which are explained with examples in the next section because
many people use tech spaces to find their dream jobs. Moreover, candidates will have their own
websites that frequently host an updated copy of their resume.
Now this is one of the old-school sourcing strategies for recruiters that never actually gets old.
That’s because it’s so darn effective. Organizations have official employee referral programs
whereby employees are paid a referral bonus if they refer a candidate who is actually hired.
Recruiters also employ such methods of sourcing. Offering a referral fee to candidates that
suggest friends or colleagues that are later placed successfully is a very viable technique. The
best place to find more candidates like the one you just placed is to ask that individual who they
know.
This is a technique that organizations often employ, especially if they’re heavy into succession
planning. Of course, with this method, the organization does not need the services of a third-
party recruiter. That’s because the talent is right there within the company. However, the talent
still needs to be convinced to make a move, even though it’s with their current employer.
We are currently in the midst of a “candidate’s” market.” That means candidates have the upper
hand in the marketplace. That means the really good candidates are interviewing with more than
one company, they’re often receiving multiple offers of employment, and they have plenty of
options from which to choose. On the other hand, we have hiring managers and authorities who
never seem to find the candidate they want. A recruiting network can provide a solution, since
the recruiters within the network share candidates and job orders.
Based on George Boole’s mathematical theory in which all variables are either ‘true’ or ‘false’,
Boolean search is one of the best sourcing tools for recruiters. The definition of Boolean search
is that it’s a type of search that allows users to combine keywords with operators such as AND,
NOT and OR to produce more relevant results.
Here are the basic operators for Boolean search strings for recruiters:
AND
When you want to include two (or more) criteria in your search, the operator AND narrows
down your search. For example, a Boolean search string for recruiting Android developers
should include ‘developer AND android’. This will produce results that include both keywords.
A AND B | A ∩ B
OR
The OR operator, on the other hand, allows us to expand our Boolean search results. People
might use different words to say the same thing. OR is particularly useful for synonyms, like
‘bank OR finance OR financial.’
A OR B | A ∪ B
NOT
The NOT operator excludes unwanted terms from your Google sourcing search. Instead of NOT,
you could also use the minus symbol followed by your unwanted term without leaving a space
(e.g. ‘NOT recruiter’ or ‘-recruiter.’)
A NOT B | A – B
Brackets ()
You can use brackets to group multiple search strings and set your priorities. This will come in
handy, as most candidate searches are complex and combine different keywords. For example,
‘(developer OR designer) AND Java’ indicates that Java knowledge is a must-have both for
developers and designers. But, in a ‘designer OR (developer AND Java)’ search, Java knowledge
is important only for the developers you’re looking for – not the designers.
(A OR B) AND C | (A∪B) ∩ C
Quotation marks “ “
If you want search engines to consider the phrase you’re searching for as a complete phrase, you
should put it in quotation marks. For example, leaving a blank space between ‘customer’ and
‘service’ will provide pages that contain both of the words ‘customer’ and ‘service,’ but not
necessarily together. You should type “customer service” to get more relevant results when
sourcing passive candidates.
Using Boolean search will improve your search results and eventually get you closer to your
potential candidates. Crafting effective commands can be a little tricky, at first, if you’re not
familiar with Boolean logic. Here’s a short guide to help you with common searches.
‘site:’
A site: search is also known as an x-ray search. You can search through a specific site for
candidates with your desired skill set or any additional details that are a top priority for you. The
key here is to look in the right place. LinkedIn is useful to search for all kinds of professionals,
but for more targeted searches you should crawl niche websites instead.
When searching, you need to think from your ideal candidate’s point of view. Let’s say you want
to hire a Software developer. If you only look for ‘Web developer’ you’ll probably miss a lot of
good profiles that use a different title, like ‘Software developer’ or ‘Web programmer.’ You
could combine AND and OR commands to search multiple terms.
You could use an asterisk (*) to get more results for the term you’re looking for. For example,
account* will provide you with results both for accounting and accountant. Let’s say you’re
looking for writers or counselors with an expertise in business investment. Medium is a good
place to start looking; you just need to search for posts included related terms.
‘intitle:’ or ‘inurl:’
Most people name their resume files using the word ‘resume.’ So, if you want to search Google
for candidates’ resumes, it’s best to look for pages that include this word in their title or URL.
If you’re wondering why we used the minus sign (-) in the previous example, the answer is
simple: to narrow down our results. Once you play around with Boolean search, you’ll realize
that you need to exclude some results to get what you’re looking for. It’s usually helpful to get
rid of ‘jobs’, ‘templates’ and ‘examples’ when you’re looking for candidate’s resumes.
‘filetype:’
Google offers you the chance to search the web for files, which is useful if you want to get
access to online resumes or portfolios.
Even if you’ve crafted the perfect Boolean search string, take a moment to double-check your
results. A quick search can lead to false positive results. For example, if you’re looking for a
Marketing Manager in Boston, you’ll probably find professionals who don’t actually live in
Boston, but could have studied there, lived in the past or simply wrote a blog post about
marketing trends in Boston companies.
Invest some time, hone your research skills and don’t rely on the first results that pop up. Taking
the time to refine your Boolean search strategy will make your search for candidates a whole lot
easier.
Before we go any further, it is important to review the method by which we will build our
Boolean search strings. In general, when in doubt, start by creating lists of must-haves and
helpful-to-haves, then plug each of those qualities into the following formula.

Baffled by Boolean? We can help with that.
Finding the right candidate for your open opportunity is no walk in the park.
Sourcing qualified talent takes a keen eye and sleight of hand – but magic’s got
nothin’ to do with it. With the power of the Boolean search, talent acquisition pros
can boost their recruiting arsenal, run highly specialized searches, and hire top
talent based on current and past job titles, particular skill sets, geographic location,
work experience, or academic background.
AND
The Connector
The more times ‘AND’ appears in your search query, the lower the volume of
search results.
The word AND allows recruiters to include and connect specific skills into a search
query.
Use AND to narrow down your search for candidates who only meet ALL of your
specifications.
Think of ‘AND’ as the wolf of the pack who commits everyone to the 8 pm dinner
reservation for just the six of you – and no one else.
EXAMPLE
You’re searching for developers with C#, XML, and Java skills. 2
OR
The Expander
The word OR allows recruiters to expand their candidate search to include similar,
related terms or phrases.
Use OR to connect terms and to increase the number of results that appear. OR is
the friend who gives you options. Would you want to watch a movie OR go on a
hike OR grab lunch tomorrow?
EXAMPLE
You want to cast a wide net and recruit for both a front-end and back-end
engineer.
Your results would pull up candidates who list any of these skills on their profile,
which pertain either to front-end or back-end engineering.
NOT
The Excluder
The word NOT allows recruiters to exclude unrelated skills, titles, companies, and
other keywords or phrases from a search query.
Use NOT to refine your search and leave out any unwanted, irrelevant information
on a candidate.
If AND is the includer, we’ll appropriately call NOT the cold shoulder.
NOT is also the friend with the dinner reservation who specifically asks you don’t
bring along that guy who somehow always forgets his wallet at home.
EXAMPLE
sales NOT manager NOT director NOT chief NOT engineer NOT developer NOT
programmer
This search query would leave out management-level candidates and engineers
AND NOT
The phrase AND NOT excludes unwanted results likely associated with the original
search
Use AND NOT for hard-to-fill, specialized positions that yield relevant and
uncorrelated results.
Consider AND NOT the buddy who doesn’t want to hang out with you this
weekend because you’re friends with the guy who never brings his wallet
Remember: This operator eliminates entire profiles and pages containing the
specified term, even if those pages include information you’re searching for.
EXAMPLE
You’re only hiring SDRs, but most of your search results are pulling up AEs
This search string would include candidates who are SDRs, not AEs.
“”
The Enforcer
Quotation marks allow recruiters to search words and phrases exactly as they
appear.
Use quotation marks to search for specific, distinct words and phrases that may
be particular to the type of position you’re hiring for. Quotation marks must be
used to search for exact phrases.
EXAMPLE
You’re hiring a data scientist with experience in machine learning and natural
language processing.
Your search results, however, are pulling in a variety of candidates that have both
“data” and “scientist” in their profiles, but not the exact title, “data scientist.”
Results pull up unrelated candidates who, for example, are data entry specialists,
data analysts and scientists. Use quotation marks to search for candidates with
the exact job title.
This search string would only search for data scientists who have listed this title in
that exact phrase and syntax. The search would also pull up candidate profiles
that list “machine learning” and “natural language processing” as part of their
skills and/or experience.
()
The Combiner
Parentheses allow recruiters to group search terms for more advanced searches,
multiple search phrases and criteria.
Think of them as the ones who strategically plan where everyone sits at the
wedding party.
Using more than one Boolean command to build your search string? Use
parentheses to combine them before you hit Enter
EXAMPLE
This search query will retrieve content marketing managers who have experience
in the B2B recruiting space. Want to up the ante on your search? Here’s another
way to approach the query:
These search results will also include content marketing candidates who have
experience as writer and editors, and who may identify with the “talent
acquisition” umbrella term instead of “recruiting.”
