Business is often considered a numbers game - "You can't manage what you don't measure," points out Smith Advertising. The firm believes that businesses must be as data-driven about their hiring process as they are about their product.

To help businesses master their recruitment process, Smith Advertising have offered their top tips:

Outbound recruiting
The secret to a strong outbound sourcing program is looking in unexpected places. A lot of people only used LinkedIn and that's it. But Smith Advertising believe that it is better to have a diverse index of places that are constantly being used to search for candidates.

Inbound Interest
It doesn't matter if the business is tiny or Google, they should have a good flow of people applying for jobs proactively. Smith Advertising believe that whether you're marketing your product or your vacancies, your secret weapon is the same: good storytelling. More and more companies are leaving traditional job descriptions behind and providing a more rounded account of their company and how the role they're seeking is pivotal. The firm believe that businesses should aim to give job seekers a real sense of what life is like at the company and what they could anticipate if they joined.

For outbound candidates
When you contact prospective candidates, Smith Advertising says it's imperative to be bold and not shy away from stating your purpose outright. Statistics released by LinkedIn show that only 25% of the workforce is actively looking at any given time, but 85% are willing to talk. However, the firm point out that you don't want to be careless. You still have to be human and not send an automated response to every candidate. Personalize your outreach and speak to the motivation of that particular candidate. Also the firm suggests keeping it short, the longer it is the more desperate you look, and the more power you give up.

For inbound candidates
When receiving resumes or emails about jobs, there should be a 100% response rate. There's no excuse when somebody takes the time to reach out to your company for not taking the time to respond, says Smith Advertising. Especially if recruiting in sales, response rates should be as consistent as sales reps. If a customer were to complain directly to you, you would probably respond. This should be the same when somebody is interested in working with you, they need the same level of respect, points out Smith Advertising. Remember word gets around and you want everyone to have high opinions of you, and hear high opinions of you.
