In order to attract top talent, it’s important to make a great first impression. This means your company must have a strong employer brand. A strong employer brand will help you stand out from the competition and show job seekers that you’re a great place to work.
There are a few things you can do to establish a strong employer brand:
Using social media to recruit new employees is a fantastic method to grow your company’s talent pool.
Posting job openings on social media, especially with a link to the application, is an effective recruiting tactic since even people who are not a fit for the job may know someone who is and pass the ad on.
In addition, using social media to research potential candidates is a great way to find qualified individuals. You can find out what their interests are and see if they would be a good fit for your company.
The golden rule of hiring – search for candidates who are a good fit, both for the job position and company culture. But, this is easier said than done, as the number of candidates who will truly match both is sparse.
Instead, think one step ahead and ask yourself how each hire can add to your existing company culture. Define what your culture of tomorrow looks like ahead and consider candidates who will help you reach that goal.
Yes, LinkedIn is the network made for finding new talent for your company. But, it’s not the only one. Consider more options for finding and reaching out to potential new hires.
Some innovative options include conference speaker lists, app stores (seek out the talent behind the technology), Quora, and even Amazon book reviews (search for insightful commenters)!
One of the most effective recruiting strategies is to ask your current employees for referrals. Your employees likely know people with similar skill sets and interests, making them more likely to be a good fit for the job opening.
Plus, since your employees already know and trust the person they’re referring to, it’s more likely that the candidate will accept a job offer if one is extended.
Employee referral programs can be extremely successful if they’re implemented correctly. Be sure to offer incentives for employees who make referrals, such as bonus points or gift cards. You should also make it easy for employees to refer candidates by providing them with an online form or a referral link.
Attracting top talent is no easy feat, but it’s definitely doable with the right strategies in place. Improve and streamline your operations, processes, and strategies and your candidates and employees will notice the difference.
