perfectpoint — Sat, 25 Feb 2023 10:27:00 +0000

In a recent Inc. Magazine article, Jerel Cain, the founder and CEO of TalentWoo Real Estate Staffing company, shared his story on how he built his business around values. Cain’s recruitment philosophy emphasizes the importance of matching the values of the candidates with those of the companies they will work for.

Cain’s values-based recruitment approach is rooted in his own personal journey. As a young man early in his recruiting career, he believed the true test of success was how well he could match employees with potential employers based on traditional core drivers: using the right skill sets; salary; opportunity for career growth; brand prestige; industry appeal; perquisites; desirable work locations. Over years and decades of working, he came to understand that a true match was more akin to aligning purpose with meaning vs matching skill sets with dollar signs. His experience inspired him to build a company that would prioritize the values of candidates and clients alike.

TalentWoo Real Estate Staffing Company’s success is a testament to Cain’s unique recruitment strategy. By focusing on values, Cain has helped his clients find talent that aligns with their company culture, leading to positive outcomes for both employers and employees.

In the Inc. Magazine article, Cain shares insights on some of the difficulties of leading a values-driven company culture, even as it attracts and retains top talent. He emphasizes the importance of being very clear on which values are important if you are to have a positive work environment that fosters collaboration, growth, and development for employees.

Cain’s advice to entrepreneurs and business owners who want to build a values-driven company is to define their values and ensure that they are communicated effectively to employees and clients. He also emphasizes the importance of staying true to those values and using them as a guide when making business decisions.

RPO Results: 4 Ideas to Consider For More Timely and Cost-Effective Hiring

perfectpoint — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 11:38:00 +0000

RPO results: In a recent article, we compared two recruitment strategies for filling new positions that required a cost-effective, quick turnaround to hire quality candidates for a large-scale reorganization and consolidation of call center support staff. In that scenario, the recruitment process outsourcing model and process outperformed the traditional hiring process.

The same conditions that make an RPO solution more effective in large-scale and time-sensitive scenarios exist in most companies whether they know it or not, even with lower volume and less time sensitivity. In this article I want to share how RPO is not just for large-scale recruitment efforts anymore.

RPO Results: The Foundational Building Blocks of RPO are Key to Cost Savings & Increased Performance

RPO firms live and die by the effectiveness of their operation. Fundamental to strong performance, especially with large-scale efforts, is making sure everyone on the team is performing the right activities, at the right tempo, with the highest quality. This becomes a science for RPOs as they measure and consistently assess and improve everything from activity levels to time-to-hire to recruiting cost ratios. Since your recruitment performance directly impacts your operational effectiveness, quality, you’re your profitability, in most cases having a dedicated RPO aligned with your business will lower you recruiting costs and improve your bottom line.

By handing over some or all of your hiring tasks to an RPO, you gain the synergies of an organization designed for focus, performance and variable adjustments. They have the team, process, and oversight to provide results accountable to your requirements. If you work with an industry specific RPO, they will be your industry experts (whether commercial real estate, residential, industrial, etc.) and have a beat on the market with a network of resources to match and woo the perfect candidate, not just find a warm body to fill the position.

Speed to access top talent before your competition is paramount. David Morel, a Forbes contributor, believes there is a ‘great rebalancing’ on the horizon as the demand for talent and the supply of candidates evens out. Others expect and economic downturn in 2023 with significant job loss during this rebalancing period.

Hiring managers and human resource professionals would be wise to prepare for the impact by considering working with an RPO like TalentWoo. Improving your time-to-hire will give you the edge over competition for acquiring the best candidates before others.

Realize Increased Performance and Reduce Cost by Partnering with an Industry Experienced RPO

When an organization brings an RPO onboard as an aligned partner, the RPO serves as the organization’s recruitment resources. The result of this alignment is that all the benefits the RPO was designed for is now benefiting the organization. This can be a wholesale outsourced solution where the RPO serves as the entire recruitment team, or with specialized RPOs like TalentWoo, an organization may want to align the RPO with one slice of their recruitment need.

Several specific metrics an RPO can reduce your cost include:

Application Completion Rate. Expert RPO providers will define and then hone the interview and application process to ensure the application length is appropriate for the position. For example, organized questions structured well can assist in keeping the application completion rate high.

Candidate Call-Back Rate. Some say recruiting is a form of selling. A selling strategy can get warm bodies in the building but not the right candidate for the job. A dedicated niche recruiting partner does not ‘sell’ – they woo, and candidate call-back rates improve with that tactic.

Cost Per Hire. Cost per hire is another benchmark in your recruitment process and helps develop future hiring budgets and plans and measures the return on investment.

Recruiting Cost Ratio (RCR) The recruiting cost ratio is the entire cost of hiring, and one of the best ways to impact this vital ratio is to have a partner by your side as interested in saving you money as they are in finding you the perfect match.

SPOTLIGHT on RPO results on Recruitment Cost Ratio :

TalentWoo helped create a world-class operating business infrastructure that combined institutional capital with professional management to fundamentally transform the single-family rental market. Owning the entire staffing process over a four year period which included an IPO and two corporate acquisitions, TalentWoo was able to help their client dramatically increase portfolio size and occupancy rates, increase core funds from operations, and decrease maintenance costs, all while maintaining a strong balance sheet.

Results

RCR 6.9% (industry average is 13.9%)

27% faster onboarding

$900,000 annual cost savings

RPO Results: The right candidate the first time saves both time and money.

You’ll benefit from the RPO results realized in several ways, especially the positive impact on your budget. A company can reduce its in-house HR staff’s workload by outsourcing some or all of its recruitment processes to an RPO provider. RPO providers have experienced recruitment professionals who can handle the tasks efficiently and at a lower cost. Secondly, RPO providers can often negotiate better rates with job boards and other recruitment advertising platforms, which allows them to offer their services at affordable rates compared to in-house postings. In addition, RPO providers can also provide access to the latest recruitment technologies and tools, which will improve the efficiency of the recruitment process and reduce the overall cost of hiring.

As important as those three reasons are for bringing down the overall costs, hiring the best candidate the first time has the most significant impact. Quality of hire, retention rates, company fit, and satisfaction rates are just a few data points often overlooked when discussing cost savings. There are both quantitative and qualitative losses from choosing the wrong candidate in all roles, but leadership and specialty positions have even a more significant effect. The impact of a bad hire includes:

Financial losses from underperformance

Productivity loss being unqualified or not proficient

Financial loss from another recruitment and hire process

Productivity loss through the time to replace

Hit on employee morale resulting extra workload and the underperformance

Negative impact on co-workers and company brand as a whole

Overall, by offloading some or all of your recruitment tasks to an RPO provider, an HR department can serve the company well by saving time and money and allowing internal staff to focus on essential priorities.

SPOTLIGHT on RPO Results with Cost-Savings:

TalentWoo is a purpose-driven company, with a mission to create possibilities. We believe that when individuals have access to stable employment and steady income, the possibilities that open up for them are endless. Financial stability not only provides for basic needs such as food and shelter, but it also allows people to pursue their dreams … take risks … invest in their future. And when our real estate clients have the talented individuals they need to drive their operations, they too can achieve remarkable success – providing homes or buildings that power our country’s workforce. It’s the individual people who bring innovative ideas, strong work ethic, and passion to their work; that’s who we’re trying to reach.

At TalentWoo, we understand that by empowering individuals with meaningful work and connecting them with leading companies in the real estate industry, we are creating a world of endless possibilities. As our purpose states, “We Create Possibilities” to make the world a better place, one connection at a time.

So how’d we do in 2021?

In short – amazing! In 2021, we had the privilege of placing 923 Americans in the real estate industry. We were able to change the lives of people in the single-family vertical, the multi-family vertical, the mortgage vertical, the iBuyer vertical, and the proptech vertical, placing them with America’s leading companies in each niche. Needless to to say, it was a phenomenal year for TalentWoo, as we hired over 30 additional recruiters, quadrupled our real estate client base, and saw a tenfold increase in monthly revenue year over year. But beyond the numbers, we are truly humbled by the impact that our work has on people’s lives.

Through our work at TalentWoo, we have seen firsthand the transformative power of employment. We have witnessed individuals go from feeling hopeless and lost to confident and driven. We have seen families thrive and communities strengthened. When people have employment, they have the ability to dream bigger and achieve more. They are able to pursue their passions and make a difference in the world.

In the real estate industry specifically, we have seen individuals find success in a variety of roles, from sales and marketing to property management and administration. We have helped companies hire customer care call center representatives, maintenance technicians, construction/renovation superintendents, and acquisitions associates. We have seen firsthand over the last year how real estate is a dynamic and constantly evolving industry, offering endless possibilities for growth and development.

At TalentWoo, we believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to create possibilities for themselves through employment. We are proud to play a small part in helping individuals achieve their dreams and build a brighter future. We are grateful for the partnerships we have formed with real estate clients and the trust they have placed in us to help them find top talent. We are excited to continue our work in 2022 and beyond, creating possibilities for even more Americans.
