Crowd  of people walking Mass recruiting is very challenging simply because of its wide coverage and the immense competition for talent acquisition all over the world. The world might not just be in your reach, but that of your competitor’s. Attracting the best people today hasn’t gotten easier; it’s much harder. What can you do to get over the blunders of mass recruiting? How can you get out there and solidify your brand while attracting the best talents in your industry? There are good hiring practices that set the best organizations apart from the rest. By applying these practices to your mass recruiting pursuits you might just be able to reel in the right people who fit best in your organization.

Globalize Then Localize

Moving to the international stage is an important step to casting your recruitment net far and wide. This will ensure you cover for each qualified person in the world to answer your human capitalization needs. Everyone must be accounted for – this is the secret to getting the best out there. Yet this is just the way you start, not how to end your mass recruitment efforts. If you do you will end up with an unrefined list of prospective workers.

When the net is cast, try hard to localize your effort. How can you do this? Talk to people within the confines of their culture and level of professional experience. You might launch a global mass recruiting campaign, but you must be able to talk to a variety of people (possibly in other languages) clearly with consideration to their language, culture, and employment preferences. You must also be able to reach up or down in their professional levels and accomplishments. Your tone must level with fresh graduates or seasoned professionals. This localization effort will allow you to get your employment message across clearly. As a result, you get a better applicant pool, streamlining your process.

Maximize Technology

Technology in the HR field has significantly advanced. There are now HR analytics that provide people in recruitment to forecast needs and understand the strategies needed to mass recruit. It’s also thanks to the Internet that there are online employment tools that can help in the pooling for talent. One of which is video interviewing. Organizations these days are scrambling to expand globally and this expansion demands a mobile channel that links recruiters to the job market remotely. With a video integrated in the hiring process, organizations can talk to candidates directly and quickly gain a better grasp of their personal and professional bearing. With asynchronous video interviewing, screening of applicants can go on all day with assessment to follow when initial pooling is coming to a close. This provides for fast mass recruiting allowing organizations to focus on pooling in one sweep, processing more applicants and getting the best from the rest before other organizations can catch up.
