Ascend Employee Recruitment Consultation Services

The most important investment your company will ever make is in its PEOPLE —so why would you settle for hiring anything less than the BEST?

According to recent studies, replacing an employee today costs on average, 2-3 times the annual salary for any given position. 

Surprisingly, hiring the wrong candidate is commonplace today in corporate America.  Because of resource constraints, many companies simply do not take the time to employ a sound recruitment strategy.  Poor hiring decisions can affect a company in a number of ways:

• Lowered Employee Productivity: Other employees may have to pitch in and pick up the slack to compensate for low performance by one or more individuals.  In addition, management personnel, already stretched with responsibilities, may also have to cover for another’s poor performance.  These two scenarios can wreak havoc on a company’s productivity, bottom line, and morale.

• Lost Revenue, Time, and Resources: Today, to replace a $50,000/year employee will cost on average $100,000-$150,000.  How many of these employees can your organization afford to replace each year? The better question is this: How much money, time, and human resource capital would your company SAVE if you could cut your turnover by 30-50 percent by hiring only the best individuals? 

• YOUR Reputation: Nobody wants to be the “fall guy” for making a bad hiring decision.  Yet, most people who have hiring responsibility have little or no training in choosing the right candidate.  If the economy has changed and the job market has changed, then companies need to change their screening and hiring practices in order to be successful.

But the good news is this: By following some simple rules for success and employing Ascend Employee Recruitment Best Practices, we guarantee your organization will be more proficient in attracting, hiring, training, and retaining proven performers.  Most companies that employ our proven recruitment strategies have experienced a 100-1000 percent ROI in as little as 6 months.

Ascend Employee Recruitment Consultation Services will assist your company with:

• Locating Top Talent: Most companies today place a “public” listing almost immediately when an opening occurs.  Simple, yes.  However, it is one the least effective ways to attract a top performer.  Ascend will assist your hiring team in employing practices for finding and locating top talent in the most cost-effective manner possible; better candidates at a lower cost.

• Writing a Winning Job Description: Are your job descriptions attracting the best candidates or scaring them off?  Unfortunately, many job descriptions today are written to rival a War and Peace novel.  Others are only 3-4 sentences long.  We will consult with your organization on writing only winning job descriptions, in a clear, proactive, and succinct manner, that draw the best people to your job listings.

• Resume Screening: The number one mistake companies make when screening resumes is giving only 10-15 second to each applicant.  You read correctly: 10-15 seconds for someone the company often invests upwards of six figures in within the first 12 months.  Ascend will consult your organization on highly-efficient methods for screening the right applicants without exhausting your human resource capital or budget.

• Defining the Key Critical Areas: In most all positions, 80 percent of the results come from the top 20 percent of the responsibilities.  Yet most hiring manages are focused on filling almost all job criteria. Some searches can needlessly take months to complete wasting valuable time, money, and resources.  By allowing Ascend to work with your organization and assemble a list of Key Critical Areas, you can be assured that the candidate you hire will be the best person for the position and efficiently fulfill your most critical job requirements.

• Common Denominators of Top Candidates: What if ALL of your hiring managers were versed in what to look for in TOP candidates; the proven skills, tools, and traits exemplified by only the best people? Becoming an expert in this single area can reduce your yearly turnover by 50 percent alone and help build a winning team in an expedite manner.
