Recruitment and Selection

There is some ambiguity when it comes to recruiting and knowing what and what not to do. Is it right to only let the ‘ideal’ people to join your team? Or should you consider recruitment in your business to be like an adding game of numbers? The answer is simple, and the comparison of recruitment and hiring an employee is written clearly for you below. It has been a while since we’ve updated you with new content, so here it is as promised, right during the holiday season!



The Differences:


Spotting them: An employee is found using a job description and specification, usually displayed in a job advert. Recruitment on the other hand is usually done in person, over the phone or face to face. It is common for recruitment to be done online, but this has some set-backs especially if the recruit is not located near you.


Reeling them in: For hiring, an employee will respond and apply for the job. However for recruitment, it is up to the consultant (that’s you) to find the right people for your team and to get them interested about the opportunity (and to sign up).


Selection process: Whilst most businesses look for the best candidate, direct sales looks for anyone. That is because in this industry training and resources are immediately provided. In addition, it is up to the person to achieve their goals. Even some of the most coy or less experienced people, can turn into real go getters.


The Benefits: When hiring it’s all about the remuneration and pay. When being self-employed it is about discounts, commission, bonuses, extra incentives like a company car/ holiday – and naturally working from home at your own pace and hours!


Expectations: When hiring an employee you can expect the most from them. For direct sales or party plan you cannot expect anything from them. All you need to do is make sure you’re there for them. To do this supply your contact details and keep them updated on company news, even if they’re not performing. It is common for a team of consultants to do poorly in their first year.


So the idea is numbers and adding more great people to your team. Remember to select people that will grow, motivate others and become great achievers. This is when selecting the right prospects. However, if someone or anyone wants to join your team and they’re generally a good person – let them! You never know who will be your next platinum seller or a sitting duck
