Candidate sourcing involves actively searching for and identifying potential candidates, often using databases, networks, and social media. Resume screening and initial interviewing streamline the hiring process by evaluating and shortlisting candidates based on qualifications and fit. Talent acquisition strategy development provides a tailored approach to meet specific organizational needs and goals. Background checks and reference checks ensure candidates have the required credentials and a positive track record. Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) offers a comprehensive service where an external provider manages all or part of the recruitment process.
