this means the recruiter is “selling” a great opportunity to the right person. It’s the opportunity to become a part of the team where they can win. When we evaluate a candidate, they are evaluating us too. This may not be the case for a candidate who is unemployed and looking for the first paycheck they can get, but that’s not necessarily who we want anyway. The presence, professionalism and personality of the recruiter are critical. The recruiter provides insight into the way the company operates and sets the stage for the future relationship built on accountability and trust that must exist between a leader and an employee in a high- performance company. It is also important that you have a good understanding of the quality of the employees you currently have on the team. A great internal way to keep track of this is through the “A- F” designation system: “A” representing the highest-quality employee and “F” representing an employee who probably needs to be working somewhere else. If you have “Cs”, “Ds” or “Fs,” how could your company benefit from having an “A” or a “B” in that role? Imagine a team made up of all “As” and “Bs.” Wouldn’t that be nice? These teammates are happy, they go out of their way to do quality work and they need little more than recognition for the great work they are doing. So how do you get there?

There are several ways to find candidates, but I would like to highlight AppCast, a resource within RAREtoolbox. AppCast is a leading “pay- per-applicant” company. You only pay when they send you a candidate, helping to minimize the cost. You may find additional information in the Franconnect library found in the RAREtoolbox folder. Additional ways to find candidates include word of mouth, referral programs, or traditional job boards such as Indeed.com. The “how” should be a process within your business. Once a candidate is identified, have them apply through the Rainbow International website under “Apply Locally” and choose their location. Once they have completed the application, you will be able to view a basic assessment of the candidate and whether you should proceed or consider redirecting them. Develop a process of interviewing these candidates - ideally it should start with a phone interview and proceed to multiple in-person interviews. The first should be with you (or the designated recruiter) and then have them meet with other team members as well. THE RECRUITER What is a recruiter?
