<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So many C-suite security company leaders fail to understand that disorganised, unprofessional HR practices during recruitment processes damage a corporate reputation as effectively as operational incompetence. It is not just failing in service provision that hurts a reputation; the people who have applied to join your company and have come away with a bad experience don\u2019t just disappear, never to be seen again. They will circulate in the security or FM sectors, speaking to potential customers or service partners about how they wouldn\u2019t touch your company due to the unprofessional way they have been treated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not unreasonably, the leadership of security companies are focused on keeping clients happy and ensuring KPIs are looking great. All that hard work can be undone in an instant if the FM manager responsible for signing off new supplier contracts at a big potential new client is someone that your HR department couldn\u2019t be bothered to get back to after they had an interview at your company a year before. Or even if they applied for a job with you and never had any kind of response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HR Admin Mistakes That Hurt Your Brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I know that these days HR may receive hundreds of applications for positions, but failing to act professionally during security recruitment<\/a> leaves a bad taste in the mouths of those who have been ignored, misled, or ghosted anywhere along the recruitment process. These people will draw conclusions about your entire company based on these bad experiences, and no matter how well you think you look after your current clients, when your HR admin team are dropping the ball dramatically, a lot of people will come away with a horrendously negative view of your organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nutshell, your operations team are striving to produce service excellence, rowing the company towards an enviable business reputation, while your HR department is busy drilling holes in the hull of your boat because they\u2019re too busy to deal professionally with company recruitment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
