How to Sustain a High-Billing Recruitment Office During Holidays
Summary
Creating a buddy system where recruiters pair up and agree to cover each other’s holiday periods works well – provided they write good handover notes. They should also be recording calls with their candidates and clients within the CRM system so the person doesn’t have to hunt to find notes and everything is nicely captured. It’s a good idea to introduce a split policy on any jobs filled that the buddy covers for them so there’s a motivation to assist with another recruiter’s work and to keep up an excellent standard of service. Ask their buddy to continuously take notes of anything that happens in the holiday-goer’s absence that concerns them so this can guide them through the barrage of emails theyll come back to. If you’ve got a slog of staff holidays coming up and you’re dreading the impact it could have on business and team morale, put these steps into motion and you should be able to minimise disruption substantially.
