Recruiter training combines study and real-world execution.sales person making an appointment image by Peter Baxter from Fotolia.com
Certifying the new hire, via programs offered by AIRS, A Company of the Right Thing, or SHRM, the Society of Human Resources Management, increases the potential for greater calibration and higher desirability of the firm's work product to clients. Because Human Resources clients of the agency value these certifications, HR's language, needs and requirements present strongly in these training formats.
Both these certifications define and support the recruitment agency's commitment to quality. Certification usually offers the potential to sell more work to clients, and ultimately makes individuals within the organization more marketable to other recruitment firms or employer human resources teams. - 2
Providing tools that improve outreach improves recruiter performance.business man on phone 2 image by Paul Moore from Fotolia.com
Training the new hire on cutting edge recruiting tools, such as those offered by Broadlook Technologies, costs nothing to the recruitment agency. Trainings on Broadlook Diver, a deep internet research tool, provide a fascinating overview of the capacity to use the inherent redistributive power of the world wide web for recruiting purposes.
For example, using a search engine to identify potential candidates usually frustrates the novice recruiter. Using Google, MSN or Yahoo to identify "chemical engineers" yields large numbers of records. Attempts to use each page to extract information for use by the search team usually frustrate the most patient researchers, because information gleaned is not in useful form.
Broadlook's Diver program almost instantly extracts and inputs names and contact information, such as telephone numbers and email addresses, into a spreadsheet format for the recruiter to use. Countless numbers research hours saved with such technology means greater efficiency to the search management team as well as cost savings.
Basic access to Broadlook Technology's Diver program costs about $2,000. - 3

Teaching the new hire to use "tools of the trade" includes the use of social media and development of networks. This teaching involves how to properly use the enormous amount of information available within networks like LinkedIn and Twitter.
Free and low-cost trainings offered by Arbita's Shally Steckerl instruct the new recruiter on how to effectively and efficiently use resources available.
Because most recruiting agencies do not introduce their employees to concepts and strategies in use by other nimble agencies, many talented new hires do not have the competitive tools to perform at maximum capacity.
