Life Cycle Recruitment is also known as Full Life Cycle Recruitment or End to End Recruitment and is undertaken by the majority of the professionals in the recruitment agencies in the USA who are responsible for the entire hiring process. As a result, the agencies not only accomplish their mission of providing the best-suited candidates for their clients’ organization but also the top-notch employees with proper skills.
But what exactly is a Full Life Cycle Recruiting?
Well, let’s explore the End to End Recruitment and the various processes involved in it in order to understand the significance it holds in the modern recruitment industry.
What do you understand by Life Cycle Recruiting?
Life Cycle Recruiting refers to the talent acquisition process from the very first stage of recruitment to hiring as an employee of an organization through an extensive approach made by the HR professionals for a given company.
This process is mostly applicable to the small and medium-sized companies initiating its growth and development. If your company is seeking a permanent employee, the end to end recruiting process would be of great help in finding the right candidate for the vacant job position in your organization. Therefore, most of the staffing agencies of the United States follow the life cycle recruiting process for proper employee recruitment and success. For the HR professionals working in the growing small and medium-sized companies, since the department is not very big, tend to manage the steps of the process all alone and provide necessary emphasis in each of the steps involved. However, larger companies or the recruiting agencies have separate people working in separate departments looking after each of the processes for recruitment.
