As I mentioned before, research should be an integral part of your life as a recruiter. Although this may sound a little nerd-ish, there is much to gain when you do research in your job.
This is considered as the seventh common mistake that recruiters do because most recruiters do not know the reason why most people resign from that job because they feel that there job would stop once they hire the people for these posts and they do not care if these people stayed in the position that they are applying for.
Research consistently shows that people fail in a job due to factors different from the criteria used to select them. Most managers can list the two, three or four most common reasons people have failed. Surprisingly, however, this exercise is seldom part of the process used to select the criteria to select new candidates. Identifying these "failure points" and building it into the selection process can reduce hiring mistakes by as much as 25 percent.
This is a very interesting viewpoint. If your company is not practicing this kind of strategy in recruitment, then they need to implement it ASAP.
