Undoubtedly, hiring is one of the most (if not the<\/em> most) high-priority tasks on an entrepreneur\u2019s to-do list. The recruitment process has too many moving parts, even for very small teams. As a recruiter, I truly believe that getting hiring wrong can really slow down a company and, sometimes, have catastrophic consequences.<\/p>\n

My views on hiring are summed up neatly in the following quotes:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGreat vision without great people is irrelevant\u201d
\n\u2013 Jim Collins<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to have a collaborative hiring process.\u201d
\n\u2013\u00a0Steve Jobs<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Over the course of my career, I have done hiring work for around 50 different companies. I can say from experience that most people in my field are still relying on traditional tools and resources for their work. I myself have spent a good deal of time grappling with clunky spreadsheets loaded with inordinate amounts of data. Back then, I used to frequently find that these spreadsheets, aimed at making my job easier, in fact slowed me down.<\/p>\n

Still, with no better system in sight, I continued using a rudimentary database to track new inquiries and record key points discussed with clients. I never quite had a good system to track my network \u2013 my personal candidate database that I\u2019ve built over many years. These are the people who I\u2019m always enlisting \u2013 whether or not I\u2019m working on an active job opening \u2013 so that I have a group of people ready to go in case a position opens up.<\/p>\n

My introduction to Orgzit
\n<\/strong>When I began working for Orgzit co-founders Nitin and Pavan, they were already using Orgzit to manage their engineering services company Spans Envirotech\u2019s projects. When they made it compulsory for everyone on their team to use Orgzit for internal processes, including working on hiring requirements, I was rather peeved. I\u2019m not very tech savvy and had neither time nor inclination to learn how to use a new IT product.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve now been using Orgzit<\/a> for nearly 6 months, and have to say that I\u2019m pleasantly surprised by how easily I\u2019ve been able to adapt to the tool and how much I\u2019m enjoying using it. Beats using those unwieldy spreadsheets any day!<\/p>\n

Before I begin explaining how I\u2019ve used Orgzit to streamline my recruitment tasks, I want you to know that although this system has worked wonders for me \u2013 it\u00a0doesn’t mean that the exact system will be the best fit for you. The best thing about Orgzit is that you can completely customize it as per your unique needs. So feel free to modify my framework for your particular hiring needs and processes. You could also\u00a0reach out to the support team at Orgzit (support@orgzit.com<\/a>) for any help that you might need.<\/p>\n
