subject: Importance Of Recruitment Solutions For A Business [print this page] Every industry needs to recruit quality employees either through recruitment agencies or various direct marketing strategies. In order to make sure that one is able to locate potential employees who fit the requirements of the organization, it may be advisable to locate a company that provides recruitment solutions. This has gained a lot of importance in the last few years due to the high competition in every field.
Many companies still follow complex processes of recruiting agents as was done earlier, which included expensive print ads, awaiting print dates of various publications, collecting hundreds of applications, sifting through these to find some suitable candidates and then calling them for interviews. Now, with the advent of the internet, it has become easier to recruit quality employees, and at lower budgets.
Information gathering has become a standardized process, and the time taken from posting the advertisement to reaching the intended audience has become lesser. The potential applicants are also of a much better caliber than before, due to streamlining of the whole recruitment process.
The banking and financial industry requires the services of quality financial advisors and insurance agents. While selecting a particular vendor, care must be taken to ensure that the vendor has expertise in the area that one is looking to recruit. As an example, if one focuses on insurance products, companies must provide services that are specifically for insurance agents. Strategies for getting appropriate agents and advisors must be provided, and not just price lists of services offered.
Through a recruitment tool known as Advisor Direct Connect, it is possible to search for databases of financial advisors and insurance agents, just as the name suggests. The agents and advisors can be sorted based on the following criteria- geography, license types, experience, captive or independent, ethnicity, business or residential address, and phones and email addresses. One is able to gather real time information about insurance agents and advisors, which can further be refined, viewed and downloaded.
Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) information is also available through the above tool. This can help to update advisor databases in different companies. A reputed financial company with a RIA database provides a platform, which can be used by clients for advice and insights.
The RIA database has about 28,000 advisory firms, with key contacts, and over 200 individual data elements to provide insight into the growing investors' market. To help businesses decide which companies to invest in, the services of experienced Investment Advisors are required.
