Train your contingent workers. Ask their staffing agency to handle training. 2. Negotiate the pay rate of your contingent workers. The agency should set pay. 3.

Direct the worker to his or her agency. 5. Routinely include contingent workers in your company’s employee functions. 6. Allow contingent workers to utilize facilities intended for employees. 7. Let managers issue company business cards, nameplates, or employee badges to contingent workers without HR and legal approval. 8. Let managers discuss harassment or discrimination issues with contingent workers. 9. Discuss job opportunities and the contingent worker’s suitability for them directly. Instead, refer the worker to publicly available job postings. 10. Terminate a contingent worker directly. Contact the agency to do so. © 2012 Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Use sources such as referrals from current employees that yield applicants more likely to be better performers. Recruitment materials have a more positive impact if they contain more specific information. Provide applicants with information on aspects of the job that are important to them, such as salary, location, and diversity. Organizational image influences applicants’ initial reactions. Ensure all communications regarding an organization provide a positive message regarding the attractiveness of the organization as a place to work. Applicants with a greater number of job opportunities are more attentive to early recruitment activities. Ensure initial recruitment activities (e.g., Web site, brochure, on-campus recruiting) are attractive to candidates. Realistic job previews that highlight both the advantages and the disadvantages of the job reduce subsequent turnover. Provide applicants with a realistic picture of the job and organization, not just the positives. Applicants will infer (perhaps erroneous) information about the job and company if the information is not clearly provided by the company. Provide clear, specific, and complete information in recruitment materials so that applicants do not make erroneous inferences about the job or the employer. Recruiter warmth has a large and positive effect on applicants’ decisions to accept a job. Choose individuals who have contact with applicants for their interpersonal skills. © 2012 Learning.
