New Employee Recruitment Process
This program is a proven best practice at Herman Draack. The steps in the process include: Organizational Assessment, Candidate Sourcing, Candidate Screening, Behavioral Interviewing, Selecting, Hiring, and the Orientation Plan Development. This program can also be contracted with an objective to document and train the Human Resource Team.
Organizational Assessment
Herman Draack will conduct an extensive assessment of the organization. This involves assessing the culture and employment brand of an organization which helps build the recruitment marketing message. We also conduct interviews with Hiring Leaders, selected team members and/or peers. This step also involves the development, enhancement or modification to the Organization's Position Descriptions and Position Specifications. Herman Draack will develop a Position Description and Specification based on the assessment and information gathered which will be provided to the Hiring Leader. These forms will help narrow the search thus increase the speed to fill each position.
Sourcing Step
As part of the recruiting strategy, Herman Draack employs various sources to attract and source candidates for posted openings. These sources include creative use of technologies, cold calls into target companies, network of professionals as well as targeted advertising.
Referral Program
Herman Draack will help an organization develop an extensive referral program, which will help the organization reduce recruitment expense while also providing a measurement of employee moral.
Screening Step
Telephone Screen
Herman Draack will screen every qualified candidate based on the information gathered in the assessment. The notes from the screening step are documented and formatted in an organized overview of vital information received during the phone screen.
Selection Tools (Testing)
Once a qualified candidate has been identified through the telephone screen, we will administer various testing tools that will help further qualify the candidate based on the specific positions. These tests have been statistically validated by third party Organizational Psychologists. Each test measures specific competencies and behaviors applicable for the position.
Interviewing Step
Personal Interviews
Qualified candidates proceed to the Interviewing step in the New Employee Acquisition Process. Herman Draack will interview all qualified candidates focusing on three primary areas:
Personality and Cultural Fit
Skills and Knowledge
Education and Experience
Once a core group of candidates are identified, Herman Draack will personally present a detailed overview of each candidate highlighting the screening, testing and interviewing results to the Hiring Leader. Herman Draack will also coordinate any and all logistics for each candidate at the discretion of the organization.
Selection Step
After a candidate is identified, Herman Draack will perform background checks and reference checks prior to extending an offer. Herman Draack can also provide current economic job market data as well as current compensation data through the use of various compensation tools.
Hiring Step
Offer Extended
Herman Draack can help extend the offer to each candidate negotiated on behalf of the organization.
Candidate Report
Herman Draack will also provide weekly staffing reports for each position highlighting the number of candidates in each step of the process. This will provide you and your management with a clear view of the candidate pipeline, which can be utilized for organizational planning purposes. The Staffing Report is distributed by e-mail to hiring managers as well as Human Resources. The report includes a cumulative and weekly update on the status of the recruiting process.
Measurement Process
In order to continually improve the recruiting process, Herman Draack also tracks recruiting measurements - number of days to fill a position, sources and the average number of candidate presented for each position. We also provide industry trend reports, which provide a snapshot of economic conditions compared to the specification of skills desired.
Training and Development
Once a new employee is hired, Herman Draack can also help the Human Resources Group with the preparation to train and orientate the candidate to company.
60 Day Orientation Training Plan
Herman Draack has helped many organizations with their orientation training with the implementation of their 60-Orientation Training Plan. The 60-Day Training Plan is designed to help new team members adjust to the company and their position. The 60-day plan consists of training modules facilitated by Human Resources, an assigned training team or the hiring leader. Company Knowledge, Market Knowledge, People Knowledge, Product Knowledge, and Process Knowledge categorize these modules. The content of the 60-day plan is customized and designed by the Human Resources team and the hiring leader. In addition, the 60-Day Training Plan also requires weekly feedback sessions between the Hiring Manager and Employee. The feedback sessions are designed to gather observations, comments and suggestions, and to answer any questions regarding the training. It is also designed to help continuously improve the training program, making every new team member an effective participant in the Company's success.
Employee Feedback Program
Herman Draack also helps organizations implement a best practice Feedback Program designed to provide the supporting leader a solid understanding of the new Employee and their background. This program involves on-going, one-on-one feedback sessions with the Employee. These sessions are facilitated by the Supporting Leader and designed to help cultivate on-going communications focusing on career development, continuous improvement of company process and programs and building a better relationship between the supporting leaders and employees. A full description of the program can be provided upon request.
Employee Profile
The Employee Profile is a tool designed to gather information. This profile is designed to capture the employee’s background, which will eventually populate a HRIS System. Once this information is gathered electronically, it will populate an HRIS system giving the organization the ability to identify potential candidates for new positions, build career development plans for individual employee and conduct useful feedback sessions with each employee.
