Recruiting Campaigns
Recruitment is one of the biggest single costs for HR professionals. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) calculates the direct cost of recruitment at somewhere between $4,000 and $6,000 for managers and professionals.
However, if you factor in indirect costs, such as cover for the vacant position (it takes an average of seven weeks to fill a vacancy), the drop-off in productivity as other employees fill in and jobs are not properly done, plus the additional training and development required once an appointment is made, and the total cost soon climbs far higher to well over $14,000 per job.
Many bad recruitment decisions are made in business and it is hard to reverse them. Your ability to attract and secure the top talent is likely to rest on a well-executed recruitment plan.
Rail Personnel can assist you in that process whether you are recruiting for local candidates or for candidates from a global market, we can provide you with services you require to ensure that you hire the best candidates available.

Where do I start?
To find the right people, you must be absolutely clear about what you are looking for. Rail Personnel will meet with you to identify the key talents and skills your organisation requires. If it is a major campaign involving multiple positions, we will assist you in creating profiles for each role.
"The best recruitment campaigns are no different from the best marketing campaigns. It is about matching a product (in this case, a job) with a consumer (a potential candidate)," says Helen Rosethorn, chief executive of Bernard Hodes Group. "Like most things in life, detailed effort in the planning stages pays you back in spades."
Our manager assigned to the project will work with you on every detail of the campaign. We will establish time lines, campaign strategies, reporting processes, job track success and real time reports to measure the success of the campaign.

Make first Impressions count
Rail Personnel will work with you to ensure that your organisation's value proposition is clear from the outset.
The survey First Impressions Cost, by recruitment specialist Brooklands Executives, found that more than one-third of candidates have declined an offer of a position because the recruitment process had left them an unfavourable impression of the organisation.
From the moment your advertisement is produced, prospective candidates will be swayed by how they are treated at each stage of the exercise - from the length of time we take to respond to their application, to how fairly they are dealt with during process.
Rail Personnel always thinks of the candidates' experience and represents the client with the respect and dedication you deserve.

Communication to the job market
Rail Personnel will customize a media campaign tailored to your requirement and time lines. We will start by advertising your positions on our own website that receives over 1000 unique visitors each day.
Whether you want to advertise the positions globally, nationally or regionally; whether you want to enlist the press, online job boards, corporate sites or Government sponsored job expos. We will match the media at which your aiming.
Depending on the number of positions, Rail Personnel will ensure that there are sufficient resources to manage the volume of applications.
Each applicant will be reviewed, screened and either submitted for your review or politely rejected with a personalized email response.

Integrated technology systems
Rail Personnel's information management system is a fully featured online recruitment system that will do everything from managing and sifting applications to final hire.
Through the Employer Care Center, you will have immediate real time access to information on every candidate being considered for your job, a real time activity report on the job track status and customized notes field for each candidate and job.

Evaluate processes and candidate tracking
Rail Personnel will work with each candidate that shows an interest. We will pre-screen all candidates and submit only those candidates that we feel will meet your job profile.
We will arrange interviews, do background checks [if required], co-ordinate the offer package, and make sure everything is done to maximize the success of your campaign.

Manage your success
Your ultimate success will be measured in the number of qualified candidates that have been successfully integrated into your organization.
Campaign success is measured on a day-to-day basis. You want to know at what stage each candidate is at in the job track process.
- How many candidates and which candidates have you received resumes from?
- Which candidates have interviews scheduled and where?
- Who has received an offer?
- What is the current status of each candidate on a daily basis?
Information management is critical to the success of any project. Recruiting campaigns are no different. With the Rail Personnel Online System, you will have daily reports available so that you can manage the campaign and make necessary corrections on a moment by moment basis.
