DO YOU KNOW WHEN TO CALL IN THE HR PRO?
It’ s Time To Rethink Your Hiring & Retention Strategy
The employment landscape is constantly evolving and businesses not savvy about human resources practices and procedures are at a major disadvantage – not to mention a major liability. Furthermore, unless you have at least one full-time HR professional on your team, you’ re probably missing something. And that“ something” could be costly.
Maintaining the proper education and compliance standards can be overwhelming for those who’ ve chosen a career in HR, but for those who haven’ t, the task is nearly impossible. Oftentimes, help is available. If you can’ t afford to bring on another team member or you only need some targeted expertise, a consultant may be just what you need to take the edge off. Specifically, you might find particular success working with a consultant if you’ ve experienced any of the following scenarios.
Strategic Recruitment
Identifying and recruiting the right candidate for your team has become difficult, a fact that continues to reveal itself in high turnover and low employee performance. But you also have a business to run, so you really can’ t divide your time between managing the day-to-day and pounding the pavement in search of top talent. Instead, consider working with an HR consultant who will:
• Work directly with you to identify the skills you should be looking for in job candidates.
• Help you determine what prescreening assessment tools will help you hire qualified individuals. For example, the Predictive Index Assessment currently utilized by Rea & Associates provides value to companies by supporting the following functions of your business: »»
Talent acquisition
»» Talent development
»» Change management

Job Posting
There was a time when simply putting an ad in the paper was enough to fill an open position. Now it’ s not so easy. These days, there are a variety of ways to reach out to potential job candidates. An HR consultant can help you:
• Determine the correct locations to target for recruitment purposes.
• Take advantage of job websites and advertising resources to widen your talent search.
• Examine job descriptions and ensure they are ADA-compliant and match the job requirements.
