Working in the Talent Acquisition department, the majority of staff are recruiters, or "talent advisors." I had the opportunity to participate in a recruitment workshop for two days during my internship. In this workshop, topics were covered such as job profiling/sourcing strategy, passive candidate sourcing, and client/candidate relationship skills.
The key to being a talent advisor is working with hiring managers, or clients, to make the best decision about a candidate through providing recruiting expertise.
It's important for recruiters to really be familiar with the business acumen and have a deep understanding of business line priorities and how it works. To do so, it's important to communicate regularly and effectively with hiring managers. In this workshop, I learned the importance of setting up a job-intake meeting, and the questions that a recruiter should ask the hiring managers.
The workshop focused on how to make relationships with clients, which ultimately concludes with a better hire and hiring process. It's crucial for recruiters to develop a sourcing strategy through pitching a compelling employee value proposition. This should answer the question "Why American Red Cross?" and "Why this position?". A sourcing strategy also involves knowing the success factors of the job.
Overall, this workshop provided me with an opportunity to see everything that a recruiter does, other than the obvious. Participating in this workshop was one of my favorite parts of the internship.
