Looking for new hires? As the baby boomer generation begins to retire, the war for top talent is on the rise. Although there’s no perfect formula for finding the best candidate for your company, there are several best recruiting practices we recommend.
Recruit your ideal candidate. Assess the skills required for each new job opening at your company and develop a clear job description. After, identify 10 key responsibilities and characteristics you will use to screen applications and resumés (this will also help you establish questions for interviews).
Take advantage of networking events. Attend as many industry trade shows and career fairs as possible. This is a great way for you to build a presence for both your short-term and long-term hiring goals.
Capitalize on social media. In order to reach a larger audience, post job ads on your company website and on all of your social media platforms. And keep in mind, LinkedIn has become the number one social media platform for recruitment and hiring (it’s time to start making the most out of this powerful networking site).
Hire professional help. Recruiters and employment placement firms already have a developed pool of potential candidates at their fingertips. They also provide a second pair of eyes to help you with your search.
