Human Capital
In today's business
environment, performance is required from your employees at every
level. Human Resources is not a profit center however, your
department can contribute to your organization's bottom line
through a commitment to improve the level of performance from your
new hires. A recruiting strategy incorporating specific hiring
practices will achieve recruiting excellence, improve overall
employee performance, increase efficiency and improve the bottom
line. Your organization cannot afford to hire underachievers who
have a negative effect, drain resources and create morale issues.
To best serve your organization, you must hire people who have a
proven track record and can hit the ground running. Hiring the
wrong person is expensive. A great deal of time, money and
resources are expended to fill a position. If you calculate wasted
time and money spent on training, loss of productivity, the drain
on resources, salary, benefits and the cost of finding a
replacement, poor performance can cost your company thousands of
dollars. The negative effect of a poor hire on your other employees
is also a factor. There is one last important step in the
recruiting process to insure you have the right person for the
job.
Often, the pre-employment
background investigation is overlooked as a method to improve
overall performance. No one drives into work each day thinking;
"I'm going to hire someone really mediocre today and drain company
resources", and yet that is what happens if a commitment to hiring
excellence is not in place. TABB INC. will be an integral part of
your strategy to hire the most qualified candidate and improve your
company's bottom line. The best method of determining an
applicant's ability to perform from day one is to thoroughly
research past performance and abilities. A candidate's previous performance is a predictor of
future performance. A candidate who has demonstrated skill and
competency in their prior employment is likely to be successful
with a new employer. Companies need to hire someone who is already
capable of performing up to expectations rather than take a chance
with a hit or miss strategy; resumes and applications just do not
provide the full story. Hoping a candidate will succeed is not
acceptable in today's competitive corporate environment. Recruiters
require a full picture; they need to know what the applicant did
and how well they performed in their prior position. A policy of
researching those applying to join your work force and a stringent
background investigation will have an added psychological bonus on
both current employees and new hires. This policy will put everyone
on notice that one must prove their value to the company before one
is able to join the team, and that not just anyone can walk through
the door and be a part of the organization. A company with this
reputation will attract applicants who seek employment with a
successful company and work with others who have proven
abilities.
TABB INC. will help Human
Resources improve the bottom line with a specific course of action
tailored for your company. We specialize in pre-employment
background investigations. Our personnel bring over twenty years of
experience in this field to work for you. We have defined a goal of
working with clients to develop a new
approach to their employment process allowing clients to hire the
most qualified applicants on an expedited basis while meeting due
diligence requirements. Our comprehensive process develops
verifiable information from an applicant, which, in conjunction
with our background investigation, results in a written report that
includes the information you require to make an informed hiring
decision. TABB INC. has implemented specific processes to
accomplish this goal.
The first step toward recruiting excellence
requires the applicant to provide details regarding their past
employment. The applicant must include a full description of their
duties, accomplishments and provide references that have firsthand
experience working with the applicant. Although not all references
will cooperate, contrary to popular belief, supervisors and
professional references will provide information regarding a
co-worker's past performance. A recruiting strategy to interview
references and develop an accurate picture will confirm that the
candidate has demonstrated the skills and core competency to
succeed. The result is a successful hire. Our employment
verification process differs from that of most background
investigation companies. TABB INC.
conducts a two-part verification of employment. The first part
consists of an interview with Human Resources to determine job
title, dates of employment, eligibility to return,
responsibilities, reason for departure and salary. The second part
consists of an interview with the applicant's supervisors and
professional references to obtain more specific information
regarding the applicant's work history including duties, work
performance, strengths, weaknesses, promotions and accomplishments.
We provide a narrative report including interviews with those who
have firsthand experience working with the applicant. In addition
to standard questions asked of supervisors relating to work
performance, our researchers ask open-ended questions such as,
"What are the applicant's strengths and weaknesses? What stands out
in your mind regarding the applicant as an individual and their
employment at your company?" "What did the applicant accomplish in
their position?" Recruiters may request TABB INC. to conduct
specialized questioning regarding an applicant and their work
history to focus in on specific concerns. Our interviews are
reported in a narrative format unique to each applicant. Our
reports utilize our researcher's experience and training to discuss
and appraise each applicant with references. Our process is more
time consuming than that of background investigation companies.
However, we believe our report provides the utmost benefit to the
client. Our research provides clients with insight regarding a
candidate to determine their success at prior occupations and offer
a position to someone with a proven track record who can hit the
ground running.
A strategic plan to hire the most qualified
candidates will have a positive impact on your organization.
Numerous business studies have shown that a successful recruiting
program will have a positive effect on the overall performance of a
company and increase value. We at TABB INC. strongly believe that
our background investigations will
assist Human Resources with your recruiting goal to hire candidates
who will be productive and take that first step to improve the
performance of your company.
