Staff recruitment in Perth and Bunbury

A business can’t grow without the right talent. The people you hire and the skills they bring can make or break the momentum of your success. So if you’re feeling a bit unsure about where to start or how to improve your recruitment process, don’t worry – you’re not alone. At RecruitWest, we’ve helped businesses at every stage of growth boost their workforce and achieve their strategic goals. We’ve put together a few friendly tips to help you find and recruit top talent.

  1. Work out exactly what you need

When there are gaps in your organisation, it can be tempting to dive straight into the recruitment process. But these moments can also be an opportunity to assess and define your exact business needs. What skills, qualifications, and experience will take you to the next level? And how does hiring for this role align with your broader strategy? Once you’ve locked these details in, make sure they’re reflected in the job description. Be exact and clear about the responsibilities, day-to-day tasks, and expectations you have for the role. That’s how you attract the best-fit candidates.

  1. Think beyond the resume

Skills and experience are obviously very important. But when you’re hiring long-term, you’ll also want to consider how well a candidate will fit within your company culture. A great cultural fit will tend to feel more comfortable, be more productive, and stay with your business longer. The best candidates enhance team cohesion and job satisfaction for other team members, too. Think about your core values and work environment, and how well they align with the person you’re interviewing. And remember, you can often teach skills to someone who matches your culture – but it’s much harder to train a skilled candidate to fit in.

  1. Soft skills go a long way

Another attribute to consider is having a well-rounded skill set that includes technical as well as soft skills. Qualities like communication, teamwork, and problem-solving are essential in most roles, and a candidate who excels in these areas is likely to thrive in your work environment. Considering emotional intelligence is important, particularly – but not exclusively – for management roles. It’s not always easy to judge in the interview process, but aim to ask questions that give you insight into how well the person can manage relationships, navigate conflict, or show empathy. This is why we often recommend a structured interview process that gives you the space to ask behavioural and situational questions as well as practical assessments.

  1. Don’t limit yourself to one channel

Every employer has a preference for recruitment channels, and different industries have varying success on certain platforms. But there’s a case to be made for diversification. More channels can give you more options to choose from, which often means higher quality candidates in a faster time frame. At RecruitWest, we make sure to incorporate a range of channels into your recruitment process to maximise the chances of getting the right candidate’s eyes on your organisation. Working with us gives you access to a wider talent pool, with expert guidance throughout the recruitment process.
