ExtensisHR’s Complimentary Recruiting Services: A Guide for Brokers
Quick look: Recruiting is a critical service offering which brokers can fulfill for their clients by turning to a professional employer organization (PEO) partner. Being able to connect small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with an experienced team equipped with managing all HR and benefit services, including recruiting and retention, has become a cost- and time-effective way to do business, giving both SMBs and brokers a competitive edge.
Recruiting exceptional talent is a full-time effort beyond the already complex scope of day-to-day HR responsibilities. Each generation of employees has a list of wants and requirements they have in mind before accepting a position. And, with multiple generations making up the workplace, it makes it extra challenging knowing how to get the right candidates through the door and willing to commit.
Often, recruiting is offered as an a la carte option to a full-service PEO solution. However, with ExtensisHR, brokers don’t have to worry about adding another cost for their clients. Recruiting for most staff-level positions are complimentary as part of a comprehensive HR and benefit plan, and there is extensive value which goes well beyond placing potential job candidates.
ExtensisHR’s wide range of recruiting services
Tackling the task of recruiting is time-consuming and is also hard to keep up with as workplace trends come and go. Since recruiting is only one part of the HR role, it requires a balancing act to ensure everything is streamlined for efficiency and effectiveness.
ExtensisHR eases this pressure for SMBs by implementing a full spectrum of recruiting services and personalized assistance as part of an all-inclusive PEO solution. These include:
Weekly check-ins with a dedicated recruiting specialist
Regular weekly check-ins ensure alignment on priorities, candidate progress, and any evolving hiring needs. This consistent communication helps keep your recruitment strategy agile and results-driven.
Talent pool analysis and skills assessment
A talent pool analysis matches potential candidates’ specific qualifications with current and future job openings and evaluates their skills and experience to meet a company’s long-term growth needs.
Additionally, some job specifics may require certain technical skills or cognitive abilities, which require further evaluation or tests to determine competency levels.
Job posting and promotion
There are multiple places people look for jobs these days. Knowing which is the most effective is part of what helps to draw in high-potential candidates. ExtensisHR also assists SMBs with crafting job descriptions by using clear, enticing language to cut through the noise and target the right candidate for the role.
Offer letter consultations
A highly competitive job market means candidates are often considering multiple offers from different companies at once. Therefore, it’s important to streamline the hiring process to avoid missing out on top-tier talent.
This includes being ready with a persuasive offer letter detailing all pertinent information, including salary, benefits, and employment terms, in a way which is welcoming and within compliance with employment laws.
ExtensisHR-led sourcing using AI technology
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may help minimize administrative tasks which leaves more time and resources to focus on other areas of the recruiting and onboarding process.
Automating the candidate search through predetermined criteria enhances the effectiveness of the recruitment process by sourcing viable candidates.
DEI-focused searches based on clean resumes
Clean resumes remove personally identifiable information to prevent unconscious bias in the hiring process.
This DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) approach promotes equity by ensuring candidates are evaluated solely on their skills and qualifications while widening the scope of candidates for a more inclusive hiring process.
Onboarding support
Onboarding closes the recruiting and hiring loop to set new employees up for success. ExtensisHR’s recruiting services include assistance to help new hires adjust to their roles.
This includes orientation programs, training sessions, and resources to ensure a smooth transition and integration into the company culture.
Adding value to a broker’s portfolio
SMB clients are always on the lookout for ways to boost their company’s long-term value, and brokers play a big part in their strategy. When a broker goes beyond the traditional services and expands their offerings by working with a PEO partner, it solves several problems at once.
First, outsourcing HR frees up time for SMB leaders to focus on other areas of growth strategy. As their work population expands, ExtensisHR can adapt its HR services and benefits to stay relevant to a company’s evolving goals and employees.
Therefore, the employees SMBs have worked so hard to recruit will have more reason to stay, leading to higher retention and greater cost-effectiveness.
Also, by connecting clients with a PEO partner like ExtensisHR, brokers and SMBs can rely on a single point of contact well-versed in the specifics of their business.
By working in true collaboration, ExtensisHR’s experts can anticipate the unique needs of their clients and proactively propose solutions which align with their intended business outcomes.
Lastly, a PEO partner strengthens the relationship between brokers and their clients. It allows brokers to differentiate themselves and extend their services to include HR and payroll, risk and compliance management, and recruiting and retention, in addition to a centralized technology platform with reporting to inform decisions as SMBs reach their next phase.
Effective recruiting keeps companies competitive
There is a treasure trove of talent ready to work. It’s wading through the mix of experience, skills, and qualifications which takes time and concentrated effort.
Having HR experts in place to handle recruiting is one of the main ways broker clients can stay competitive. Guided by a dedicated HR manager, recruiting is made easier with a team who is up-to-date with the latest workforce trends, understands the various hiring platforms, and knows what it takes to attract qualified candidates.
Great companies are driven by great cultures which means recruiting is a necessary part of long-lasting success. Brokers and PEOs can work together to provide SMBs with what they need to stay competitive with larger companies and attract the best talent through a full-service recruiting plan.
