What Does Full Cycle Recruiting Mean?

Introduction

What does full cycle recruiting mean?

Full-cycle recruiting is a process of finding and hiring the ideal candidate for a job vacancy. It's a holistic approach to hiring that involves all steps in recruiting, beginning with sourcing talent and ending with on-boarding new employees. The most important aspect of full-cycle recruitment is matching candidates to the right position within a company, which saves everyone involved time and money. 

Two types of full-cycle recruiters

There are two types of full-cycle recruiters: Internal recruiters, who work for the company in need of new hires; and external recruiters, who work for staffing agencies or recruiting firms. Both internal and external recruiters search for candidates that fit the position you're hiring for. They also help interview those candidates and bring them into your organisation.

The value of full cycle recruiting

A lot of people think that full-cycle recruiting costs more than traditional hiring methods because it takes more time and money to find the right candidate. But in reality, it actually costs less because you're not wasting your resources on unqualified candidates who will be rejected anyway — and saving you from having to pay for those rejected applicants' job applications.

Full-cycle recruitment can also save your business money by helping you identify what positions need filling so that you don't have unfilled positions sitting around collecting dust while they eat up unnecessary resources from other departments (like HR). This means there will be no wasted effort trying to fill an open position when there are already other open ones that should take priority over yours!

The process of full cycle recruiting

In full-cycle recruitment, you will be involved in sourcing talent; screening candidates; interviewing them; and making a final decision on hiring. This process can be more time consuming than traditional recruitment techniques but it can also help to ensure that you are only bringing on people that are truly interested in working with your company.

For example, let's say you have an open position at your company. You've drafted up a job description and posted it online; now it's time to start sourcing candidates. A full-cycle recruiter will scour their network of contacts, reach out through social media like LinkedIn or Twitter, attend career fairs and networking events — whatever they can think of — in order to find potential hires who might be interested in your company culture and mission statement. Once they've identified some promising candidates, they'll then conduct phone interviews (and sometimes even in-person interviews) with each candidate to determine whether or not he or she would be interested in working at this particular company; if so, then congratulations: You've found yourself a viable candidate! Now you can move on to the next steps of interviewing and choosing the right applicant.

How to be successful in full cycle recruiting

In order to be successful in full cycle recruiting, one must be patient, organised and able to multitask effectively. If you want to find the right person for the job, you need to have a high level of attention to detail. You also need patience because it takes time for people to apply for jobs and then get back with you about their availability. Finally, organisation helps ensure that all of your bases are covered so that your candidates can be scheduled appropriately.

If you like putting all the pieces together to create something great, then full cycle recruiting might be for you!

Conclusion

The world of full-cycle recruiting can be exciting, challenging and rewarding. It requires a lot of hard work and dedication, but the rewards are worth it! If you're looking for an opportunity to make an impact on your organisation's future, consider becoming a full cycle recruiter.
