There is so much to know about recruitment. This high-rewarding industry has experienced many changes over the past decades; from sourcing open positions in newspapers and having only phone communication, then going through a digital make-over, to nowadays, where AI is influencing recruitment, gpac has remained at the forefront of recruiting and talent acquisition.

With over 33 years of industry experience, we’ve combined the perfect balance of both the tech and human aspects of recruitment. This allows us to perform at the highest level and be effective for all parties involved in the hiring process.

  • For clients, we’re able to streamline the hiring process, helping companies save time when growing their teams. 
  • For job-seekers nationwide, recruiters focus on improving the candidate experience and making the application process less stressful.
  • Lastly, but by far the most impactful for our recruiters, our top-notch recruitment platform, cutting-edge technology, and constant on-the-job support provide a solid foundation of sustainable success for those seeking a career in recruitment.

So, what is gpac recruiting?

gpac is a recruitment agency founded and owned by the Good family in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Since our foundation in 1990, our main objective has been to help organizations and candidates meet their staffing and professional goals. 

Our devotion to the craft, hard work, and high-performing mindset have made us a truly diverse and well-spread network of over 700 committed professionals and heavy-hitting recruiters.

We’ve replaced the stale corporate hierarchy with a system that identifies more closely with an all-star sports organization, and we’re maximizing our efforts to change the recruitment game. 

Our teams are well-balanced with people from all over the U.S. with varying levels of experience and backgrounds; some who had never even heard of recruitment before getting in touch with our gpac talent acquisitionists.

“Our top performing recruiters, also known as Alpha Pac members, had no previous experience 
and are now making 6-figure incomes.”

What does gpac stand for?

Our identity and mission are all about growth; gpac stands for “growing people and companies.” We serve most U.S. industries, and our top priority with every client and candidate within them is to fulfill their staffing and professional goals. With this objective in mind, our recruiters forge personalized paths to succeed.

Over our more than 30 years of existence, we’ve partnered with thousands of businesses and organizations. The confidence of all these clients is proof of the long way we’ve come in building a reputation and becoming a legitimate staffing solution

Regarding recruiters training, the knowledgeable and robust leadership at gpac allows each individual to be an innovator, educator, and supporter of the recruitment industry. gpac believes wholeheartedly in the value of human connections because nothing in this people’s business is purely transactional.

How is gpac leveraging digital recruitment?

The recruitment industry had been demanding a digital makeover long before the pandemic, but the recruitment process can’t simply reduce job-seekers and available positions to ones and zeroes. 

Thanks to gpac’s Tech Hub, we have a vision for growth and development that matches today’s changing landscape of professionals. Our advancements have enabled us to work smarter, not just harder, and helped us improve the customer and recruiter experience.

On top of being at the front line of talent acquisition and recruitment, our digital tools —created, developed, and maintained by our own tech experts— have made possible a smooth and seemingly effortless transition to a fully remote company. 

The matchmaking industry has met its match with gpac.

Digitally restructuring our network and building tailored systems allows us to continue making strides in recruitment. Because of our proactive approach to advancing technology and processes within recruiting, the professionals and businesses in every other industry we work with also benefit. 

And how far can a net be cast for potential candidates with local ads? Not to mention the time and resources spent appealing to job-seekers when urgent positions need immediate filling.

In tandem with our tech-savvy needs, gpac’s dynamic marketing team is making an effort to help our recruiters take charge of their personal branding and extend their reach on social media platforms. Recruiters can reach top talent wherever they are and get opportunities in front of them with just a few taps on their mobile devices.

Even though our services have many applications, gpac’s three main business lines are filling companies’ hiring needs, matching candidates with their dream jobs, and training recruiters. We will now examine each one closely.

How do companies benefit from working with gpac? 

As one of the main stakeholders of the hiring process and our craft, companies benefit from working with a recruiter in many ways. Contrary to the common belief, recruiters can perform in many ways for hiring managers rather than just searching for top talent. As an associate and extension of organizations, here are some perks from partnering with a recruiter. 

Maximizing your budget

Hiring is expensive, and even with an extensive recruitment budget, you should organize it and make the most of it. A recruiter’s industry knowledge, experience, network, and matchmaking skills will help manage your costs better and guarantee effective use of your budget. 

Some of the recruitment strategies gpac recruiters apply to optimize your budget are: 

  • Reduce time-to-hire
  • Target the candidate search
  • Provide market insights 
  • Assure candidates quality

Streamline the hiring process

As a staffing solution, one of the main goals of gpac is to streamline the hiring process. For you, this means less of the burden of time-consuming recruitment tasks such as vetting and qualifying candidates. By handing some of this work to a recruiter, you can keep performing your everyday responsibilities even when you have urgent positions to fill. 

Preparation and follow-up

Recruiters are also helpful after decision-making. Whether it’s for assisting during an employee’s onboarding or walking a candidate through rejection, gpac search consultants’ responsibilities don’t finish after putting talent in front of you. They can also get involved in other hiring, interviewing, and growth planning processes.

What do candidates get from working with a recruiter? 

As the other major party involved in the hiring process, candidates can get a huge advantage in their job search by working with a recruiter. Although many job seekers aren’t completely aware of how a partnership with a gpac recruiter works, they can save you hours of surfing job boards and guide your efforts free of charge. 

Here are some of the main perks of having a recruiter on your side.

Extra insight on job openings

A recruiter can give you more information about an open position than a job posting. Chatting with them before applying for a job will allow you to weigh in if it’s the right match for your growth plan. If you decide to go ahead with the application, they can help you prepare your resume and profile to fit the job specifications.

Confidential job search

Suppose you need your job search to remain confidential due to your current employer or any other circumstances. In that case, gpac recruiters will perform a down-low instead of shotgunning your resume to every employer in your industry. 

You can rest assured knowing that our search consultants will discuss potential opportunities with you to ensure your interest before making any moves or putting your name in front of a decision-maker. 

Interview prep

If you don’t feel entirely confident with your interview skills, partnering with a recruiter will sharpen your game for the big meeting. From mock-up interviews to crafting responses to the most common interview questions, they will help you gain confidence and increase your chances of giving an excellent impression to hiring managers and ultimately landing the job.

What does gpac do for recruiters and HR professionals outside of the pac?

We have the duty to share and care
for the recruiting business.

So, we’ve touched on what recruiters do for hiring authorities, job seekers, and, of course, our own recruiters. But it’s worth noting that gpac talks the talk while walking the walk in the industry itself. 

The result of combined efforts in research and experience is laid out in multimedia resources for recruiting professionals in our Knowledge Center, from helpful articles with tips from successful gpac recruiters offering career advice, talent acquisition solutions, and guidance on mastering the craft to our Tales of the Pac video series with a more in-depth discussion about recruitment in general.
