Why Hiring Right Matters 

The long-term success of a business depends on hiring the right individual every time, not just filling a vacancy. A wrong hire can result in lost revenue, decreased productivity, needless stress, and potential damage to a company's reputation and culture. The basis for a strong, high-performing team begins by hiring the right people. 

At Get Recruited, we know that hiring right begins with visibility and access. That’s why we’ve invested in an Access Volcanic recruitment website. With SEO-optimised job listings, mobile-first design, and intelligent search tools, Volcanic ensures that our vacancy is front and centre for the people who matter. It’s part of how we make hiring faster, smarter, and more efficient from day one.

 Finding the right talent sometimes becomes tough, especially for our specialised roles across Marketing, Finance, Sales and Insurance. We use Volcanic to ensure each sector is optimised to its full potential, to each unique audience.   

Maximise the Candidate Experience  

In a competitive job market, it takes more than posting an advert to win the best talent, it's how candidates feel every step of the way through your hiring process. Every touchpoint, from applying to the final decision, affects their opinion of your business. Open communication, respect, and an effective, transparent process make a lasting impression. 

As a hiring partner, we make sure that candidates feel respected at all stages. Even when the candidate is not shortlisted, they depart with a positive impression, strengthening our talent pipeline for the future and shaping our reputation. And with market knowledge and access to pre-screened talent, our clients save time and synchronise hiring with their strategy for growth. 

Our Volcanic-powered website allows us to deliver a streamlined, professional candidate journey that reflects the standards of the employers we represent. From customised application forms to ‘Apply with LinkedIn’ functionality, we ensure candidates can express interest quickly and easily. And because every interaction is branded and on-message, we make the right impression from the very first touchpoint, even before interviews begin.  

Another way to improve the candidate experience is by making onboarding count. Great onboarding is more than paperwork, it's your chance to greet, train, and engage new hires from day one. A thoughtful process with orientation, access to tools, goal setting, and team introductions establishes early confidence and connection.   

Build a Strong Employer Brand 

Experiment with using marketing strategies to help attract the best candidates for open roles. For example, consider advertising available positions and sharing information about your business with potential employees on social media. This can differentiate your business and show potential employees that they will be working with a great team. 

It's also important to update your site regularly with information about current job openings along with other relevant content on a career page that contains all the information about available positions. 

 Top talent is drawn to companies that stand out above the rest. That's where your employer brand comes in, it's the story that you tell about what it’s like to work for you, and why someone would want to come and join you. What distinguishes your business?  A mission-driven culture, meaningful perks, flexible work hours, and growth opportunities all aid in attracting individuals who share your vision. 

 As a recruitment partner, Volcanic gives us the tools to build and promote your employer brand online through content-rich job pages and seamless integration with social media. By managing everything through one platform, we keep your careers page up to date, relevant, and discoverable. Whether it's sharing company culture or spotlighting benefits, we use our website to help candidates see what makes Get Recruited stand out in a crowded market.  

Put on your marketing hat and promote job vacancies, highlighting team culture, and sharing your values on social media.  Share staff spotlights, business events, and behind-the-scenes images to offer candidates a true, authentic sense of what goes on in your company. 

 When you have a great employer brand, you aren’t just filling roles, you’re building a talent community that is eager to grow with your business. 

Highlight Retention: 

We believe in hiring for the long-term. Our consultants actively look for candidates with strong retention indicators, not just skills, to ensure we match businesses with candidates who are just as invested in their future as they are. Beyond qualifications, consider factors like past job stability, career growth, and long-term ambitions. Candidates with a proven history of loyalty and progression are more likely to be valuable long-term team members.  

 Providing flexible work arrangements makes your organisation more appealing to top talent, particularly those with duties to their families, health, or personal lives. It's a straightforward yet effective way to expand your talent pool and encourage long-term retention. 

Prioritise Culture When Hiring and After 

Culture defines who you are as a company. The everyday environment in which your employees operate has a direct impact on retention, performance, and teamwork than your industry or objective. 

Hiring someone who doesn't mesh with your culture might result in early turnover, disinterest, and conflict. Hence why cultural fit should therefore be given equal weight with a person’s knowledge and experience.  

We guide clients in asking the right interview questions and communicating company culture and values to prospective hires to assess compatibility. We also work with candidates to ensure they are aligned with your values, work environment, and mission. 

Alignment is effective only if the culture is worthwhile.  A strong company culture is one in which employees are encouraged to perform at their highest level and feel supported and included.  

If you uphold these values and invest in initiatives that support them, you'll draw in talent that wants to advance with you. 

Incentivise With a Great Total Compensation Package  

Hiring top performers takes more than a great culture, you must also offer a competitive, well-rounded compensation package. Salary, benefits, flexibility, and career growth are all part of what today's candidates value when searching for a new role. 

To stay competitive, start with market research and salary benchmarking to ensure your pay structures align with industry standards and reward high performance.
