SYSTEMATIC RECRUITING is an outstanding program that teaches participants how to take control of their manpower destiny by sourcing and hiring top performers away from other retailers and service establishments on a "direct", one-on-one basis. It takes participants through a proven, step-by-step process and provides them with specific recruiting methods and techniques that can be implemented immediately. It is an impactful program and powerful tool for any organization that wants to keep pace in the highly competitive race to capture an increased share of the ever-dwindling supply of top retail performers.What is Direct Recruiting?Though all hiring is often referred to as recruiting, SYSTEMATIC RECRUITING focuses exclusively on the portion of the process that we call "direct" recruiting… the "surgical removal of top talent from other organizations and transplanting them into yours"… in other words, stealing people!Who is the Program Designed for?Systematic Recruiting is designed for trainers, training directors, HR Managers, field management personnel and frontline store managers with the need to master effective direct recruiting methods.

	Proactive Approach. Direct recruiting allows store and field managers to take proactive control of their manpower destiny, building a "ready-file" of potential candidates to contact when positions become available.
	Higher Quality Performers. While direct recruiting may not be the quickest means of bring people on board, it is without equal when it comes to identifying and hiring the best people.
	Upgrading, Not Just Replacing. Direct recruiting allows your people to do more than simply fill positions… it provides them with a means for "upgrading" the performance level of their store team.
	Observation. The primary benefit of a direct recruiting program is that it allows you to observe an individual acting naturally in their own environment without them knowing they are being observed.
	Cost Effectiveness. Compared to the cost of other means of attracting top talent (especially newspaper advertising), direct recruiting is extremely cost effective.
	Reduced Turnover. It takes longer to woo top performers away from their current employers, but once they do make the decision to change jobs they tend to stay 2-3 times longer than associates/managers hired via other means. Over time this reduces turnover.

	It’s Focused. It is not about job fairs or classified ads or employee referrals. It is about identifying top performers at other retailers and service establishments and hiring them away to work for your organization.
	It’s More than Simple "Rah-Rah." This program does more than sell your people on why they should be recruiting… it teaches them HOW to do it, providing specific and easily reproducible techniques that get results!
	It Removes the Fear Factor. A primary reason that managers don’t recruit is their fear of approaching potential candidates. SYSTEMATIC RECRUITING removes the "fear factor" entirely!
	It has Follow Up Built Into the System. Experience shows that effective follow up doubles the number of hires you will make. There is a follow up system built into the program from the very beginning.
