"I was concerned about the time, since three of the HR staff attended, but our interest was held throughout. There was no wasted time. Every segment of the presentation gave good, solid information—information we can use toward taking us to the next level in our HR processes and programs."

We channel the general theory of STREAMline into a highly precise program that meets each organization's very specific—and still evolving—needs.

We look at your organization's competencies, structure, corporate culture, competitive environment, local conditions, and so on, and then we discover the best way to make the six interconnected streams flow through the unique twists and turns of your recruiting environment.

We begin with a general curriculum designed around the steps that every recruiter should go through to take a project from requisition to hire. Your organization is welcome to receive training in all fourteen steps or to receive special training in just a few.

The fourteen steps in the curriculum include:

  1. Receiving a Requisition: After your recruiters received a requisition from one of your managers, they have to decide what steps to take first. Using the STREAMline approach, recruiters will learn to use the requisition process to construct a foundation for the project's eventual success.
  2. Interviewing the Hiring Manager: STREAMline Recruiter Training provides your recruiters with interviewing techniques to develop their understanding of a hiring manager's wants, needs, and desires for the project. Your recruiters will also learn the skills they need to build credibility with the hiring manager.
  3. Understanding the Ideal Profile: Your recruiters will learn how to read between the lines of the requisition and incorporate the hiring manager's wants, needs, and desires to develop appropriate benchmarks for finding a candidate who will fit your culture, share your values, and thrive in the position for which you're hiring.
  4. Building a Sourcer's Worksheet: The sourcer's worksheet improves direct communication with hiring managers and candidates, provides a basis for the development of the sourcing strategy, enables the creation of internal recruiting resources (profiling tools, interview guides, etc.), and helps recruiters become more confident in their approach. STREAMline will give your recruiters a step-by-step guiding to building and using this critical tool.
  5. Sourcing Strategies: STREAMline shows your recruiters how to swim in the deep waters of sourcing strategies. They'll learn how to go beyond newspapers and job postings and to utilize cost-efficient, bleeding-edge tools to find your ideal candidates.
  6. Using What's Free: The easiest way to cut costs in your recruiting budget is to use those tools that cost absolutely nothing. STREAMline gives your recruiters an in-depth understanding of how to use free tools and techniques to address your organization's recruitment needs.
  7. Contacting Your Candidate: STREAMline helps your recruiters develop advanced techniques to ensure the organization takes advantage of every opportunity to reach, attract, and hire the candidates of choice.
  8. Selling the Job: STREAMline will help your recruiters discover answers to the four questions they need to sell the job to their most desired candidates: Why this job? Why this location? Why this company? Why now?
  9. Screening without Anxiety: With the STREAMline approach, your recruiters will develop a style and framework that gets to heart of the screening process, reducing anxiety and error, saving time and effort, and improving the overall efficiency of your recruiters.
  10. Interviewing: The STREAMline process helps your recruiters develop a structured interview process that will lead to informed and consistent hiring decisions. A well-designed interview process affects the accuracy, efficiency, and value of your candidate selection process, and ensures that your organization hires only the most-qualified candidates for your positions.
  11. Presenting the Candidate to the Hiring Manager: Once your recruiters have sold the candidate on the reasons why they'll want to work for your company in this position, the next step is convincing the hiring manager. STREAMline will help your recruiters maximize the positives of each candidate they present.
  12. Making the Offer: The ability to create a win-win situation when all parties involved may have different expectations is essential to the success of your recruiters and your organization. STREAMline provides proven techniques to help your recruiters master the art of the deal.
  13. On-boarding your Hire: With STREAMline, your recruiters won't just be headhunters; they'll be the coordinators of your company's welcome party. Starting a new job can be an intimidating experience for anyone, from C-level executives to front line salespeople to customer service representatives. The challenges of a new location, new coworkers, and new processes can discourage new hires and increase rapid turnover. STREAMline will show your recruiters how to help new hires navigate their way through the choppy waters of those all-important first days.
  14. Staying in Touch: Staying in touch can stop your most valued employees from looking for opportunities elsewhere. While the STREAMline approach stresses the need for recruiters to stay in touch with their hires, it's not just about maintaining a relationship. It's about understanding the challenges your employees face, knowing whether they're happy with your organization, and pre-empting any crises that might arise.
