The professional recruiting industry is a challenging environment where radical transformations are occurring. New recruiting trends are emerging. Social media is also changing the landscape for hiring managers and human resource (HR) departments. With all the changes in the recruitment industry, Refraktion continues to prioritize the job candidate by providing job applicants with the information that is most important to them based on their employment history, work experience and career ambitions.  Employers appreciate the partnership approach used by Refraktion because their best interest is paramount.

During the last 4 years, our emerging recruiting business continued to provide key personnel to the leading firms in our vertical markets, which include the following market sectors and disciplines: Online ESL Tutors, In-Class ESL Tutors, Transcribers, A.I. Learning, Nursing and specialized care workers, Maintainance Management, Network Operations Management, Etc.

While companies such as LinkedIn have played a part in the transformation of the corporate recruiting process, our sourcing methodology has stayed true to our valued client companies and stakeholders by focusing on strong values, ethics, discretion and confidentiality in all our business partnerships and recruiting assignments.

Our specialized recruiting firm attracts, screens and selects only qualified candidates for a job. Hiring "game changers", extraordinary individuals and top performers in business, requires a recruiting process that is unique and capable of attracting them to your firm. When mid-size and large organizations retain our professional recruiters, they can be confident that by outsourcing their job candidate search processes, we can produce superior results and find the right employee.

Many national headhunters, niche recruiters, sourcing firms, passive candidate research firms and search specialists in the recruiting industry use personal industry contacts to identify prospective employment prospects. We also use referrals and our professional network to asses potential candidates for job openings that require highly skilled workers. Our consulting services are no different. We work with employers to analyze and document the job requirements in order to fill open positions by using a 5-phase approach; strategy, recruitment, implementation, closure and follow-up.

Our 5-stage approach to recruitment includes sourcing candidates by networking, advertising and getting referrals. We begin our recruitment process by performing a job analysis, in order to document the actual or intended job requirements. We prepare a detailed job description which is used by our recruiters to define the objectives our search efforts.

We screen potential job candidates by using a variety of tests and interviews. We select the best employment candidates based on numerous criteria and assist with the on-boarding process to make sure the prospective employee can begin performing their new job quickly and effectively.

Employee verification is important because a significant number of job applicants falsify information on their resumes. According to Neil Adelman, President of SafeGuard Background Screening LLC, a comprehensive background screening company in Beachwood, Ohio and business partner to DRI: "About 50% of resumes contain incorrect information and many businesses lack proper in-house resources to carry out full employment verification procedures or criminal record checks. As a result, companies can easily make poor and costly hiring mistakes."

Small, specialized recruiting firms such as  Refraktion, frequently decrease an employer's time to hire, increase the quality of the job candidates, provide verifiable metrics, reduce expenses and improve compliance with government regulations and standards.
