So whats all the noise about Lean Recruitment?
Lean Recruitment
We have all worked in HR departments where things haven’t changed in 10 years and we still fill out the same old forms and no-one ever asks why? If you do ask why its always the same old answer “its how we’ve always done things”.
In my last job, we had a million pound system and yet we had to complete a paper form and take it up to “Doris and Ken” in accounts who put it in a file and into a drawer….. why? No-one ever questioned it.
Lean Recruitment is a new way to look at your HR departments and making your Recruitment and Onboarding process more efficient. It identifies and eliminates non-essential and non-value added tasks in your talent acquisition process, and matches your process to what your internal stakeholders actually want.
What does that mean in the world of HR?
- Reduced Time to Hire and Time to Onboard
- Improved Candidate journey
- Improved Hiring Manager experience
- Decreased advertising spend
- Increased compliance to GDPR
- Reduced Staff Turnover within Probation
- Improved New Starter productivity
Continuous Improvement & Right First Time (6Sigma)
HR is one of the worst for getting you to recomplete forms or asking you to complete a form, only to find out it was the wrong one. Our aim is to fix a process so that it will be 99% right first time, with no resubmission required.
What does that mean in the world of HR?
- The right forms filled out correctly
- Correct information in CRMs
- Employment contracts right first time
- Managers following the correct process
- New Starter access and hardware on Day 1
Put it together and you have Cheaper, faster, better processes and services for your stakeholders and hiring managers.
The main pillars of Lean Recruitment are:
- Auditing your current way of working
- Map your current process
- Plan your Workforce
- Voice of the Hiring Manager
- Getting the right Key Metrics
- Recruitment Training, Systems & Projects
- Having the right Documentation
- Efficient Transformation & Change Management
