It is hard to believe how quickly the time is counting down until the New Year. Before you know it, January will be knocking at your door. Do you know what your hiring needs will be in 2016? Before you close out this year, now is a good time to think about all the ways to find your next superstar candidate after the holidays have come and gone. Here are some tips that can help you.
- Scout where they are.
The first place to find your stellar candidates in the New Year is to start by looking at where they already are. In the second decade of the new millennium, that place is the internet. Use Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to connect with professionals looking for work in your field or your area. The key to a strong social media presence is engagement. - Look at your current staff.
There are two things to consider when looking to your current staff. Might someone be a good fit for a promotion leaving their position easier to fill with a less experienced candidate? Or, maybe your trusted staff members know other people looking for a job. Good people often refer good people, so it is a resource that should be tapped. - Evaluate your compensation package.
Another way to get superstar candidates in your community to be interested in working with your company is to ensure that your overall salary structure and benefits package are enticing. You need to be competitive within your industry, do you research on sites like Salary.com and offer something that your primary competition can’t. These will convince the best-of-the-best to apply to work with you. - Partner with a staffing agency.
Lastly, don’t forget to tap into the extensive resources of staffing agencies in your community. The recruiters have been trained to source and submit the very best candidates based only on your requirements and necessary qualifications. They can work with you to ensure that only the top performers are considered for your open positions. A staffing agency can be one of your best allies in the New Year.
