Proactive planning helps departments to avoid talent surpluses or shortages as well as long delays in the hiring process. Managers are encouraged to analyze their current workforce, determine future needs, identify gaps and implement solutions.

Posting a position sets up successful recruitment activities. Managers should consult with their recruiter prior to posting to help establish screening criteria and to determine what sourcing/marketing strategies are needed.

Recruiters will guide the talent to the managers. Managers will interview and make the decision on who to hire based on the best match against the job requirements. Remember all interview notes should be sent to the recruiter once a final candidate has been selected.

Once the manager has completed the dispositions in Taleo and the selected candidate is in the Offer step, the manager and recruiter will discuss the salary. The recruiter will send the electronic offer through Taleo, and both the manager and recruiter will receive notification of the candidate’s response.

Once the candidate has electronically accepted the offer the onboarding process is initiated.

Managers should plan for the arrival of new employees and create a welcoming experience.
