How does a “small but mighty” recruiting team of about 10 individuals manage to hire 1,200 people in a year?
According to Jordan Applegate, senior director of recruiting at Sweetwater Sound, a musical instruments and accessories company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the answer lies in its recruiters’ “dual roles” as both recruiters and HR business partners.
Recruiters are instructed not only to create relationships with hiring managers but also the candidates they help shepherd through the recruiting process — a relationship that can last for a worker’s entire tenure, Applegate said.
