Client and candidate best practices

In the external staffing profession, there are certain candidate and client best practices that you're going to want to implement and today I'm going through four of those best practices. The first one is you've got to utilize forms. You can't leave anything to your memory or just think you're going to get back to it later. You've got to use forms to keep you on track. These include your application form, your reference forms, your prep and debrief forms, your prep form before interviews, debrief after, and of course, your job order forms. The resumes and CV's that are provided to you by candidates give you who a person has been and who they are.

A resume and CV does not tell you who they want to be and that's why you must have them fill out the application form because then you're going to be better prepared to answer questions about them. Sometimes you will have clients give you their requisition form, and they want you to work off of their form, but trust me, their form is not in your best interests and often they haven't updated the requisition.
