Revolutionizing Recruiting Through Training, Coaching, and Speaking

Choosing the Right Recruiter Training Program for Your Needs

Let’s face it, recruiting is hard. Even if you discount the people who fully quit within the first year (some say as many as 90% do), one in four recruiters leaves the profession each year. Permanently. Whether you’re a small firm owner or running a talent acquisition department, it’s essential to invest in the right program to help your team excel in this often-difficult profession. With numerous options available, it can be challenging to choose the one which best suits your unique needs. Let us help guide you step-by-step in selecting the ideal recruiter training program, ensuring your time and investment are well spent.

Core Components of  Quality Programs

Recruiter training programs generally encompass an array of topics such as recruitment strategies, interview techniques, talent acquisition, leadership, and HR management/avoidance. These programs can be delivered through webinars, video sessions, on-demand courses, or live in-person training. Moore eSSentials includes all of this, in all these formats, and more. (We’re all about more.)

We find early training programs are often focused on the trainers’ success, not necessarily the needs of someone learning to be a better at recruiting. We include professionalism, business etiquette and ethics, structural definitions, and foundations about the recruiting industry. We give you scripts and script delivery techniques. In short, we give people the tools needed to be successful headhunters.

Freshness of The Program Content

Are you up to date on your training? Just as importantly, is your trainer and their training up to date? We stay updated on the latest recruitment trends, technologies, and best practices. People and technology changes make this a profession which is fails if you stagnate. With private and group coaching programs, we’re deeply involved in the dynamic landscape of recruiting daily.

Because of this, our programs are constantly evolving. Taking an identical program twice in a year still means new content- so we update our “recorded” on-demand content just as often. Artificial Intelligence is upon us like the first snow of winter, with 300 million jobs expected to be impacted. We’ve been on top of it since 2020. While some trainers talk about the same things year after year, we teach you what works now, and continually adjust with market conditions.

Advantages of Training Programs For Recruiters

Elephant in the room; as the best reviewed trainers in the recruiting industry, we’re biased. We want you to invest in training… even if it’s not ours. For employees, completing a training program enhances their expertise and skills, giving them a competitive edge. For employers, training employees can refine their organization’s recruitment strategies and boost their placement rate. Training promotes employee retention by offering career development opportunities and by nurturing a learning culture. On a personal note, bad recruiters make all of us look bad, which in turn makes the work harder on all of us.

That’s a bunch of reasons to invest in any training.

Criteria for Evaluating Training Programs Aimed At Recruitment Professionals

When searching for a recruiter training program, consider the following factors:

• Cost. Of course, you want something which aligns with your budget. There’s a lot more to it. There’s free training on YouTube, all the way to custom built solutions in your exact industry. We’re leading with this because we are not your cheapest option. Unless you consider our recurring Random Act of Kindness Fridays, where we’ll help with any problem in the recruiting industry. Always Free.

• ROI. Reframe in terms of Return on Investment. It’s your money, what are you getting from it? Check the reviews of any firm you’re considering for terms like “return on investment” and “wish I did this sooner.”  We’re not just saying that because you’ll hear it from our clients…

• Topics. Choose a program providing a comprehensive overview of recruitment strategies, professionalism, candidate management, onboarding, and all of the relevant topics to your organization. Trainers love to train, so call and ask if you don’t know if something you need is covered. Tricia answers her phone – 630.240.4454

• Delivery Format. From online training to on-stage, live webinars, microlearning, and on-demand courses, you have a lot of options with how you want your team to learn. We know different people learn in different ways. Ensure you consider what’s going to work best for your recruiters. By the way, we do it all.

• Mutual Feedback. Look for programs which offer feedback on your progress and some way to help you improve. Without knowing what you are doing right (and wrong) a trainer’s library of knowledge is just that – a room of books. That kind of teaching is easy and unaccountable. Think of reading “How to Make $25K a Day” and nothing in the book works. Is it you? Or was the book nonsense spit out by an imposter? A trainer should be able to help you through if it’s you… and the testimonials from past students should tell you if the training works. That’s the “mutual” part of the feedback!

• Interactivity. How much interaction with a coach or trainer do you need to successfully implement? For some people, that’s a monthly check in. Others feel more comfortable with weekly interactions, (so your coach has deep knowledge of the interior of your deals), and on-call emergency assistance. Decide what you need and evaluate if it’s working along the way. Is your training adaptable to your needs?

• Support. For some people, education support means workbooks and an easy step-by-step guide to success – maybe with video. Others want long-term access to be able to go back and get answers from the same trainers who coached them to success. We’ve got you covered at all ends of the spectrum. We call it unlimited support.

• Values & Alignment. There are great trainers who match with your values. Great coaches with whom you will feel aligned. Certainly, as recruiters, we know that not everyone is a “fit.” While we do believe there are many correct ways to do this industry, you’ll likely find your best – and happiest – success using techniques from people who you feel are a great “fit.” For you.

• Your Time. Perhaps the biggest investment of all. Are you retraining or losing poorly trained recruiters, then hiring again? Your hours have real value, and while you can make more money, you simply can’t make more time. *Except through diet and exercise, where not limited by Acts of God.

Investing in a recruiter training program is a big decision. There’s a lot of reasons to choose Moore eSSentials.
