TorontoJobs.ca Employer Newsletter

Over the years, there have been some great methods that some of the top companies use during the recruiting process to find exceptional candidates for their organizations. This article covers ten of those top strategies that companies use.

Top companies know what the market is for salaries. They have done their research on what current compensation packages are so that they can deal effectively with candidates. They find out what will be required to get someone to join their company. They will have done research using salary surveys or have spoken with recruitment firms to determine what a candidate should be paid. As a result, they will be prepared for any negotiation that may be required and have support for their pay structures when dealing with candidates.

Top companies deal with candidates by giving them the worst-case scenarios during the interview process. As examples, if the company is having financial difficulties or if the position is going to require a lot of overtime, companies will share that information with the candidates to make sure there are no surprises later on. The less surprises mean the less risk of someone quitting as a result of not knowing an important fact.

The future of networking is now based on a virtual network - one where we don’t meet face to face, we can’t judge body language or shake hands. How then, are we going to master the art of InterNetworking? E-Commerce is the topic on everyone’s lips – what does it mean when it comes to building more profitable connections using networking?

The following suggestions will help readers become successful “InterNetworkers”:

Know your market - Select your market (country) based on the need you perceive for your product or service. To find out if there is a need connect with your embassy or consulate in the countries you are targeting. They have the knowledge and they will happily share – building your business is why they are there! Go to your local library or World Trade Centre – check out the National Trade Data Base – this is updated monthly and will be a wealth of information. You can subscribe and receive information on line. Resources on line are endless - tap into them.

Know your competition - Find out who your competitors are both domestically and internationally – who do they sell and export to? They probably have a web page – check it out - do they list their products and services? Do they have a catalogue – is there an opportunity to join venture? Connect with the Chamber of Commerce in the country you are targeting – ask for the membership directory. Use your resources – do you have colleagues from that country in your existing network – who do they know? Join associations with national memberships. Participate in chats - subscribe to lists that target your market.
