10 Reasons to Screen Applicants When Youre Recruiting

10 Reasons to Screen Applicants When Youre Recruiting The process of screening applicants is useful for an incredible number of reasons and should be carried out before recruiting for any position in a company. No matter how senior the position, using a thorough screening process will give any employer an advantage and prepare them for the interviews ahead. Here we take a look at the top ten reasons for screening applicants when recruiting: 1) Time Is Important: As any successful employer will understand, time is a valuable commodity and any way to reduce the length of a task without compromising the quality with which it is carried out should be examined carefully. Screening applicants is a great way to save both time and money by ensuring that employers don’t have to sit through time-consuming interviews with applicants that are plainly neither qualified nor suited to the open position. 2) Cut 90% of Applicants: The screening process is both time and resource efficient because of the incredible number of applicants that you can discard as unsuitable. Whether it’s because they don’t have the knowledge base necessary for a position, haven’t taken the time to write an interesting application or have made mistakes on their CV, screening ensures employers sift through those that don’t meet their high standards with minimum fuss. It’s important to remember job seekers will look for positions in numerous ways â€" from services to independent applications. You therefore need to find a way to screen through all these applicants who will be coming at you from all angles. 3) Generate Questions: Applications can be a great source of inspiration for interesting interview questions, particularly if you receive a fascinating application. The number of employees who tailor their answers to meet the demands of the job and consequently submit exciting applications may be low, but when employers do stumble across them, they are often a gold mine of information. Interviews with this type of employee can be hugely rewarding, even if they don’t get the job at the end of the process. 4) Lower Employee Turnover: One of the major recruitment problems experienced by businesses is finding employees that will end up staying on board for any serious length of time. A high turnover in a company means that they have to spend valuable time, resources and money running recruitment programs, training new employees and guiding them through the induction phase when they won’t be at their most efficient. Screening gives employers the opportunity to search out those recruits that seem to display qualities that will keep them at a job for a serious amount of time. 5) Protect The Workplace: In some cases, new employees can be an extremely destabilising force in the workplace. This may be due to a poor work ethic, a troublesome personality or an inability to work as part of a team. Avoiding this is not only an essential part of finding the right employee, but also of keeping an existing workforce well motivated and efficient. Consequently, protecting the workforce is an important benefit of pre-employment screening services. 6) Focus Your Interview: The screening process will give employers the opportunity to focus any further interviews on the things that matter, rather than spending valuable time asking questions that don’t really go anywhere. Any information revealed in the screening process should be put to good use and form the basis of further questioning. Generally, this will occur naturally if a potential employee proves particularly interesting. 7) Minimise Disruption: The recruitment process can actually be quite disruptive to normal business operations; though not always in the most obvious ways. Most businesses will utilise a number of senior employees during the interview stage, taking them away from their regular work and leaving them with a backlog. Similarly, new recruits can generate a lot of interest from the existing workforce. All of this means that you want to minimise the length of the application process in order to minimise disruption. 8) Test The Recruitment Waters: Screening applicants will give employers an opportunity to send feelers out and see exactly what is happening in the recruitment world. It will give them an idea of whether they are hiring at a moment where there is a distinct lack of quality applicants or a period in which quality is exceptionally high. 9) Maximise Efficiency: A lot of success in the business world can be put down to making a lot out of the little companies have to work with. This ability to maximise efficiency is a fantastic attribute, particularly in the world of recruitment, and screening should help you streamline the hiring process. 10) Get The Right Workforce Hiring the right workforce is an important part of running a business and will go a long way to ensuring future success. The screening process will help contribute to a recruitment process that helps employers find a suitable and sustainable workforce.

POWER of Branding An Interview with J.D. Power - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

POWER of Branding An Interview with J.D. Power - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with James David Dave Power III, the visionary entrepreneur whose company, J.D. Power Associates, has become a household name since its inception in 1968. Dave shares many of his successes and failures in the new book,  POWER: How J.D. Power III Became the Auto Industrys Adviser, Confessor, and Eyewitness to History  (Fenwick Publishing, Sept. 2013). We discussed how he was able to build a brand synonymous with the automotive industry, the power of the press, and Dave shared his tips for young people looking to get ahead. How did your brand and company get started? We built the company as a brand back in the 1970s. And it was our intention to sell our market research for the automobile industry. We had an independent viewpoint where we owned the data, so we could use it in a public way and let the consumers know how their ratings turned out with each car. We wanted to inform them for when they purchased their next car. However, one thing led to another and we were forced into public focus. This happened in 1973 when we did a survey on the Mazda rotary engines. We found a major problem with the engine, the “o-ring” problem as we ended up calling it, and we actually sold the results in a survey write-up and it was very popular. We sold 14 companies on the survey results, and they were supposed to treat them confidentially. But Mazda didn’t purchase it, so they didn’t know what the results were. One of the American companies, I can’t recall which, released the information that Mazda engines were failing once they reached 30,000 miles. Th en I got a call from the Wall Street Journal a few days after the report had been issued. And they said, “I understand you’ve done a survey of the Mazda rotary engine owners.” I asked him how he knew about that, and he said, “We have our ways.” I could tell he had the full report in front of him. I said, “I hope if you’re going to print something on this, you have my information from my press release. I want to make sure it’s balanced.” And he told me to get it to him right away, so I sat down and wrote my first press release on a yellow pad of paper. I’m located in Los Angeles, and we had to get it to Detroit and it’s already 3 PM in Detroit. So we found a Telex machine operator in our small office building and she typed it up for us and sent it. The next day we’re on the front page of the Wall Street Journal claiming Mazda had a problem, which they denied. We had to continually verify, and Mazda became very interested in our study after that, so it showed m e the power of the press. That’s when we started looking at ways to control it, and as long as we owned the data we could make it better. If the press gave the information back to the manufacturers or consumers, we could bring about greater acceptance of our studies. And that’s how it started for me and the company. Building off of that publicity, your company became a household name. How has your brand become synonymous with the automotive industry? Another thing that happened when we were doing the “Customer Satisfaction Survey,” it was the third time we did it and we covered all models. We came up with a summary ranking each company and model, according to the results from owners. In the first couple of years, Mercedes and Toyota were at the top. Mercedes was on top the first year, Toyota was second. Then they flipped. The third year, Mercedes was back on top, but Toyota had slipped to third. Subaru had slid into second. They had subscribed to the study as well. I didn’t know anything about it, but they used half of their entire budget on one commercial for the Super Bowl in January of 1984. At halftime I’m sitting in my living room watching the game with my wife and we were amazed when the screen came up with a black background that said, “According to J.D. Power Associates, Subaru is second only to Mercedes in customer satisfaction.” We didn’t know about this ahead of time, but my head statistician got a call from CBS and they asked “is that a legitimate claim?” And he said, “yes, our data shows that.” He had no idea what it was actually about, and then we realized the strength of the survey. Monday morning, right when I got to the office, I had a call from Mercedes saying, “how dare you allow Subaru to use our name in their advertisement.” But I had no idea, so we had to do some more work regulating how the companies could use the reports in advertising. We got the lawyers in the room and determined that we would only give certain awards that could be advertised. Of course, number one in customer satisfaction was one of them. We limited it to a few, and then later expanded it to trucks and so forth, but we controlled it. We said to the companies, “these are the ground rules; we don’t know who will come out on top.” And we charged a fee to companies that wanted to advertise, they didn’t have to do it, but we found that companies would seldom give up the chance to adve rtise it. That also required us to think through, and I did a good job at deciding, that I would not be the person giving the award. It would be J.D. Power Associates, and my daughter-in-law, who was an art director at an ad agency, designed the trophy. I had a clock on my desk so we decided to use that in the trophy. She designed it and that’s the trophy that is still used today. About 90% of consumers don’t think that J.D. Power is an actual person. A publishing company in New York that had Good Housekeeping and a few other magazines was talking with me about publishing a new magazine on automobiles called The Power Report.  I got some good advice from a lawyer who was working for them. I had a problem deciding whether I should have these awards or not and I asked him about the “Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.” And he said that it was very effective, however some people in the organization started selling the seal to companies, and you’d have to buy six full-page ads to get the seal. They were selling the seal rather than the research they were doing. His advice was for us to have a separation from church and state. So the people selling the awards have nothing to do with the researchers. That helped me out tremendously. You were ahead of the curve when it came to enabling the voice of the consumer. What did that do for your company? The results of our surveys were not well-accepted by the companies, especially those who were down at the bottom of the rankings. We had to really work hard to let them understand we were independent. What we wanted to do was to feed the information from the consumer, we learned from the consumer. We had an 8-page questionnaire with a lot of detail and we said to consumers to write on the back anything they thought we were missing. We told them we wanted to hear it from them, and that we would pass it along to the manufacturers. And we would get a -12% return on people who added to the full questionnaire, and that was tremendous, I used to keep a number of those letters, and we’d get photographs, and we’d pass it on to the manufacturers. I don’t know what they did with them, but I think some of them looked into it. So that was very important. People loved to talk about their cars. We respected the consumers, and they felt that they were helping themselves and others by providin g this information. Another thing was that everyone who worked in our company was called an “associate,” and it was really like a family company. Everyone felt like they were doing something that would provide better cars and trucks for people. Can you provide one or two pieces of advice to young people looking to build a successful career? Well, I think in Macbeth, Philonous said to his daughter who was leaving home to marry and never return, he says a lot to warn her about the world. The final piece of that scene is, “above all, be true to thine self.” I carried that through with our staff and my children, if you are not true to yourself, you can’t be true when you’re trying to give advice. Second, in the book, the beginning speaks about my background. I had a liberal arts education in college, then went 4 years in the Coast Guard on an icebreaker, then went to graduate school, and then went to work at Ford Motor Company. I had 5 jobs in years before starting my own company. I learned the ropes through that experience before starting my company. I learned how to live, and how to be successful. It was a long journey, and I was well-along in years by the time we started the company, and today I’m happier with the results because of it. I think we never used the term “entrepreneur,” we just did the work. M y wife and my four children worked in the company and they did the folding of the questionnaires on the kitchen table and living room floor. They’d put a quarter on the envelope as an incentive, and it had to be face-up and just so. It doesn’t happen overnight, unless you’re one of the lucky ones. Thank you to Dave Power for taking the time to speak with me. His wealth of experience and success is a treasure trove for young people looking to build a successful business or take the next step in their career. To learn more, pick up the book today!

The First 4 Hires For Your New Business - Classy Career Girl

The First 4 Hires For Your New Business If you want to grow your new business, you can’t do it on your own. You must have other people working for you. Its impossible for you to do all of the things that need to get done while still managing the administrative tasks that you hate doing anyways. For you to see what you should be delegating,  write down everything that you do in one day. This will include the administrative items, the technical items, marketing, social media, research and revenue generating activities. Once you have documented everything you do, mark the items that you LOVE doing.  Then, start figuring out over the next year how you can delegate the tasks you dont like doing, the tasks you cant do, and the tasks you shouldnt be doing.  This will help you figure out as the CEO what you should be focused on and what you need to let go of. Here are the First 4 Hires You Should Make in Your New Business: Hire #1: Bookkeeper As an entrepreneur, your success is directly related to how well you keep track of your personal finances. When you’re worried about personal finances, the stress eats up all the energy and focus you need for your small business. You can’t successfully run a business while constantly trying to put out fires someplace else. There was one tax year where I spent two entire days putting together the expenses for the entire year so I could file on time. I was so busy trying to make money that the entire year I didn’t track my business expenses. It was after that year I vowed I would never do that again. One of the best steps I made very early on was to separate my personal income with my business income. I went to the bank and got a debit card specifically for my new business. Then, I felt like a real business owner, and tracking was much easier, but I still was not looking forward to tax season. So I went ahead and made a scary hire. I hired a bookkeeper and let someone see my finances. I felt so small in the beginning because I was barely making anything but once I hired her my income steadily rose. Treat yourself like a business. Separate your business and personal income and hire that bookkeeper. My bookkeeper now sends me reports monthly. She also sets up monthly meetings and helps me get prepared for taxes. Everything is done virtually, so we don’t even have to live in the same state. Hire #2: Virtual Assistant When I was overwhelmed trying to get my new business off the ground while I still had one two  full-time jobs, I turned to outsourcing. I used this company that offered training on how to hire virtual assistants from the Philippines. They also had a job search website that allowed me to post a job description and sort through job applicants. There was a lot to learn about delegating, but it was the best decision I have ever made. I lucked out and the first girl that emailed me back, I hired and she has been with me ever since. Lor rocks, and I hope you have as good of a virtual assistant experience as I have had. The most important thing is to try it. Delegate your administrative tasks, work on revenue generating items, and you may be surprised at how amazing your VA replaces you. I know it’s hard to let go when you think you can do it better than anyone else, but I was surely surprised. I am amazed when I get things back from Lor. She does so much better than I could do and I can focus on tasks in my business that only I can do. [Related: The Top 10 Tools That Make My Business Run Smoothly] Hire #3: Lawyer I am not a lawyer, so I can’t provide you with legal advice. You will want to seek legal advice to ensure that your new business is obeying all the rules. Your first steps are registering as a business and meeting your local requirements. If you sell products, you may need a seller’s permit, and you may need liability insurance. There may also be federal and IRS requirements you want to check on too. Two online legal resources  to check out: 1. statelocalgov.net 2. Legalzoom.com You may also have to protect your property with copyright, trademarks, patents or non-disclosure agreements. Also, since you may still be working a day job while you get your new business off the ground, I would recommend discussing these implications with your lawyer as well. It may seem like a lot to tackle but don’t let this stop you. Seek advice, so you don’t have to worry. I realized that once I did, I could focus on the things that truly mattered in my business instead. Hire #4: Project Manager A project manager will make your life easier. A person in this role will translate the goals you have into daily tasks. They will keep the ship floating, so you don’t have to worry about the details. You will work together to create a plan, and the project manager creates the to-do list and solves the problems that often would get you, Ms. CEO, off track. This will dramatically change the quality of your work and your ability to focus on revenue generating items and items you LOVE to do. The project manager drives the deadlines and tasks so you can just focus on the big picture of running your company. This should be a goal you to strive for and put into your long-term team planning. Which of these Fab Four do you need on your team now?

10 Top Challenges SEO Professionals Face in Their Career CareerMetis.com

10 Top Challenges SEO Professionals Face in Their Career Are you thinking to pursue a career in search engine optimization Here, we will discuss ten of these potential challenges for SEO professionals, why they might be challenging, and how we can tackle them. Let us begin with the first one.1) Handing All the Misconceptions and Myths Surrounding SEOSEO, even in 2020, is a field that is often misunderstood with all the surrounding myths.For instance, there are still many people that simply don’t believe in SEO, and labeled SEO as a gimmick or even, scam.On the other hand, there are also many people who still think that SEO is a ‘holy-grail’ tactic, a get-rich-quick scheme to somehow cheat the search engine algorithm and get ranked instantly.Here are some of the common SEO misconceptions that might challenge an SEO professional, and how to tackle them:SEO is a scam. This myth is indeed rooted in the dark history of SEO involving sketchy practices and black-hat tactics. However, ‘honest’ and effective SEO practices do exist, and fo rtunately, there are now various case studies and proofs available to help back up our claims.SEO can produce instant results. SEO by nature is a long-term game and we should expect to invest at least 6 months before we can see any significant results, but it will depend on many different factors. We have to convince our clients Here are some important areas to focus on, in managing the right client expectation:Defining proper and realistic SEO objectives and goals, including educating your clients that organic traffic, not ranking, is the proper SEO goal.Communicating the right timeframe according to the site’s current condition and the SEO objectiveDiscussing the right budget, according to the difficulty of the SEO campaign based on the objectivesCommunicate KPIs of the SEO project based on the objective.Also important, set the right expectation on how you’ll manage the project, like what time is it appropriate for them to call or text you, how often they should expect an emai l, etc.Obviously, this is not an all-inclusive list, and there might be other unrealistic client expectations that would need to be addressed. However, the main idea is to set the right expectations as early as possible and maintain healthy communication throughout the project.3) Time Management and Day-to-Day WorkflowWhile SEO isâ€"as we have mentioned aboveâ€"not a very complex and technical field by nature, an SEO campaign can involve many different activities: SEO site audit, keyword research, competitive analysis, content creation, technical optimizations, and link building, just to name a few.An SEO professional must be able to juggle between all these different activities, while also monitoring all the different metrics and KPIs accordingly and adjust the strategy in real-time It can be a very challenging task, and so proper time-management and self-discipline are more often than not, the most important traits you can have as an SEO professional.To overcome this issue, it’s very important to establish a proper task management structure in place. Nowadays, fortunately, there are various software and toolsthat can help with time management and productivity.Yet, the challenge will also multiply as you grow from being a one-man show to having multiple team members. How you can delegate and spread the workload across your team can significantly affect the success of the SEO project.Audit your workflow regularly, and aim to continuously improve your Nevertheless, the ability to adapt to these With that being said, an SEO professional is expected to stay current with all of these algorithm changes, new SEO trends, relevant tactics and methods that still work today, and so on. This can be extremely challenging especially when you are also expected to juggle all the different SEO activities(as discussed above).6) Identifying The Right Tools and TechnologiesOn one hand, SEO is a very data-dependent field where the practitioner is expected to measure all the dif ferent metrics and follow-up with the appropriate optimization.On the other hand, there are now various tools, software, and technologies that can help us in achieving our SEO objective(s): from data collecting and analytics purposes to competitive research to automating some of the processes, among other functions.In theory, more help should be better, but that isn’t always the case. With all the available tools and technologies, it’s quite often that the SEO professional is faced with choice paralysis. Should we choose tool A for its cheaper subscription fee or tool B with a rather unique feature? That is often just the beginning of all the confusion.Nevertheless, we should remember that these tools are designed to help, and not the other way around. Take your time to research your options, determine your available budget, and don’t rush in making the right investment.7) Proving the ROI of SEO Campaigns and ActivitiesSEO, by nature, is an intangible marketing activity that d oesn’t contribute directly to sales revenue. Meaning, measuring the ROI of SEO investment can be easier said than done.The main contribution created by SEO effort is organic website traffic, but even then, website traffic can contribute to revenue in at least three different ways:If the website is directly selling a ‘one-time sale’ product and/or services, for example, an eCommerce site selling a smart home product, then we can simply measure the conversion rate of the website traffic.If the website is selling a subscription-based product/service with a recurring revenue model, we can measure MRR (monthly recurring revenue) and conversion rate to measure ROI.If the website doesn’t directly sell product/service, then the process might be more complicated and we might need to create a marketing attribution model.As you can see, this process can be a huge, complicated challenge for any SEO marketers. It’s very important to figure out how SEO will contribute to revenue, depend ing on the website and the overall business model, and properly calculate the ROI.8) Maintaining Content Consistency Both in Quality and QuantityContent is the core of SEO, period.An SEO professional must also tackle the content marketing aspect of SEO, which can be a very difficult challenge on its own.Nowadays, you simply can’t rank without a high quality, relevant content, and on the other hand, consistency of your content publication (quantity-wise), is also relevant in providing Google with the signal that you are indeed the go-to source for the topic.Not to mention, there’s the content promotion aspect that can also provide its own challenge.9) Generating High-Quality BacklinksWe have established that backlinks are still the most important ranking factor in SEO, and on the other hand, the quality of these backlinks is now more important than quantity. In fact, getting too many low-quality backlinks too quickly can get us penalized.In theory, getting just 3-6 high-quality b acklinks fo reach content per month is sufficient. Sounds great, right?At first glance, it should translate to an easier link-building activity, since we don’t have to generate as many backlinks as before. However, getting these high-quality, authoritative backlinks can be easier said than done.With that being said, finding ways and developing a sustainable strategy to generate these high-quality backlinks is often the biggest challenge for SEO professionals.10) Managing Client RetentionNo matter how good your work in executing the SEO strategy is, the relationship between an SEO professional and the client typically involves a patterned lifecycle.After a couple of years or so, the client might consider the SEO campaign a success and then move on to other campaigns or marketing initiatives. There are also cases when the client called it quits due to financial reasons (i.e. they run out of budget).Managing and optimizing client retentionis often one of the key challenges for SEO ma rketers. Embrace the fact that you won’t be able to keep all of your clients, but by being a better, more proactive communicator, and of course, maintain the quality of your work.ConclusionUltimately, an SEO professional is responsible for executing a thorough analysis of the SEO strategy and assessing the website’s current performance. This will provide the SEO professional with more opportunities to execute a more effective SEO campaign to handle the potential issues and challenges discussed above.Also, remember that nowadays there are various tools and technologies that are designed to help marketers and professionals in solving these challenges. Take your time to research these tools, and don’t let them create another challenge on their own.

Not Tired Maybe Its Not You

Not Tired Maybe Its Not You Many of you have kids in college.   As many of you remember pulling the all-nighters and cramming for finals, your kids are likely doing the same as they head into Spring semester and are pushing through to the end of the school year. The stress can be heavy and getting a good nights sleep is often the farthest thing from their mind. As a parent you can help them out.   No, you cant nag them.   Theyre going to try to get their studying in, go to classes, get some social time in with friends, fit a party or school event in there somewhere. So where does sleep go?   And what if all this juggling around of their schedules makes it hard for them to get a good night sleep? When they come home to visit or on your weekly call with them, you can drop a helpful hint when the opportunity presents itself. Just slide it in so smoothly they hardly even notice. There are many tricks you can use to relax your mind and body to make yourself fall into sleep mode more easily when you’re just not tired. Here are five that should fit in nicely with your college student.   Check them out Adjust the temperature Hey, its not your electricity bill anymore tell them to keep it cool! A slight drop in temperature induces sleep, so be sure to keep your bedroom temperature slightly cooler than what is comfortable for you. However, don’t let yourself get too cold, especially your feet, as cold feet can be disruptive to sleep. For optimal sleep,  the suggested bedroom temperature  is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit. Turn Off Electronics Now if you can do this one youve really succeeded as a parent.   I know.   Getting them to turn the electronics off is like putting them in solitary confinement.   They might accuse you of suggesting the equivalent of water boarding.   Maybe tie it to the last option.   A little bait and switch tactic never hurt lol. The blue light emitted from our cell phones, computers, tablets,  and televisions  restrains the production of melatonin, which is the hormone that controls our sleep/wake cycles. Reducing melatonin levels can make it harder to fall and stay asleep. Turn off all electronic devices at least one hour before bed to allow your eyes to begin to start rest and stop seeing all of the images that will make you feel jumpy and less able to relax. Create a Comfortable Sleep Environment Kids are often a lot more resilient than adults when it comes to what theyre willing to put up with sleeping on.   Sleeping on the floor, a friends futon, or an old mattress.   Something youd never consider but they dont think twice.   But if theyre struggling to get their zzzs then maybe getting them a mattress better than the one the homeless guy sleeps on would be a good plan.   Or at least a decent pillow.   You know how much you shell out for college costs, this is a drop in the bucket ?? Swap your over or under-stuffed pillow and replace with a  soft and supportive one. If your mattress is lumpy, flip it over or use a mattress pad to cover it. The more conducive your bed is to your sleep, the more likely you will be ready for bed. When laying in bed, keep your back straight and make sure that your neck is not resting too high or low. If you sleep on your side, use a pillow between your knees to keep our hips in a neutral position. Avoid Alcohol or Caffeine Before Bed   Now this one may be almost as challenging as shutting off the cell phone an hour before bed.   Maybe they werent drunk the night before at the frat party but I can almost guarantee they were chugging Red Bulls when they were cramming for that test.   Can they cut these out?   Rome wasnt built in a day.   But if theyre living on alcohol and Red Bull then an intervention might be in order. While alcohol can sometimes make us feel drowsy, consuming it right before bed will disrupt your sleep cycle and make you fall into a less deep sleep. If you like to have a drink before bed, make sure it is at least four hours before bed so it does not keep you up.  Sleep after drinking alcohol  has been associated with nightmares, headaches, night sweats, and even more frequent awakenings. Caffeine can take up to eight hours to fully leave your system, so avoid it after  2-3pm  as it can make you feel awake, even when you want to fall asleep. Meditate Every decent university will support meditation.   It really is cool to meditate (okay maybe your kids dont use the term cool but Im talking to you, not them thats your job). Meditating is a great way to center yourself and come into the present moment. Even if only for a few minutes a day, meditating has many positive effects on the body. Regular meditation practice can decrease your overall stress and even lower your heart rate. There are many guided meditations that you can listen to at night in order to relax. Check out YouTube or  meditation apps like Aaptiv. So what are you going to do?   Are you going to stand by while your kid ruins their college career with bad sleep habits?   Or are you going to help them out? Work them into the next conversation.   Theyll thank you laterway laterlike when theyre 40 or 50.
