As 2013 quickly comes to a close, many companies find themselves scurrying to get everything in order before the new year begins. From meeting holiday season demands to determining next year’s budget, several areas will need attention before the year finally winds down. Among these vital areas should be a realistic evaluation of your projected recruiting needs for 2014. This includes reviewing your current process and focusing on ways in which it can be improved. To begin proactively planning for your company’s recruiting in 2014, consider the following key areas:

  • Metrics. Begin by determining what it is you should be measuring. Acknowledge what will be your benchmark for success in recruiting and decide if this can be measured with your current technology and tools.
  • Trends. Review past and current trends to make an informed hypothesis on upcoming recruitment trends for 2014. Use this information to hone in on your strategy and maximize your plans for the upcoming year.
  • Marketing. Consider the marketing channels your company is using and whether or not they are playing a part in helping you achieve your recruiting goals. Do some research to learn if there are any additional outlets that may help you achieve both marketing as well as recruitment success in the upcoming year.
  • Technology.  Since technological resources are constantly evolving, it’s important to determine if your company’s current technology is capable of supporting next year’s recruitment strategy. Leverage the technology available to maximize time and reach your goals more efficiently.
  • Overall resources. Take a look and determine if you currently have the necessary personnel and resources in place to make your strategy successful. If the answer is no, research additional recruiting resources, such as partnering with a staffing firm.
