The Blue Octopus Method:
5 Steps to Successful Recruitment
In order to ensure the best possible results from every recruitment campaign we run here at Blue Octopus we tailor our service to perfectly suit each client and role. This tailoring may involve utilising certain niche job boards, creating multiple adverts, running adverts for different lengths of time or any of a number of other customisations. At the heart of every Blue Octopus recruitment campaign however, there are 5 fundamental steps. We’d like to share these steps with you:
Our Client Delivery Team discusses recruitment requirements, timescales and preferences with you and together we establish the best plan of action for the recruitment campaign. The Client Delivery Team remains in close contact with you for the duration of the recruitment process.
We write professionally worded job adverts and post them to the most suitable job boards and job websites. In addition to this we create a bespoke application form for the role featuring relevant questions for applicants.
Our activity with jobsites is supplemented by an unlimited number of CV searches utilising not only our own extensive database of candidates but also other major CV database resources.
All job advert responses and applications are managed and filtered using our innovative Engage Recruitment Technology – which allows you to see precisely what’s happening 24 hours a day and also shortlist applicants you would like to bring to interview.
We get in touch with candidates to let them know whether they’ve progressed to the interview stage or have been unsuccessful. If requested we will also arrange interviews for you and then follow up on their outcome; ultimately making an offer to the successful candidate or candidates.
