If you thought “The Great Resignation” was over, think again. The amount of people quitting their jobs every month is rising. With 23% of Americans saying they’re planning to quit their jobs in the next year - you need to have a great recruiting strategy.
How do you find the best candidates? How do you set yourself apart from the sea of competition? What's the best strategy to fill the vacant jobs with your company? Here are 5 employee recruiting strategies to get you started:
1. Utilize Social Networking
Posting where the most people are should be your top priority. With 72% of Americans on social media, it’s the best place to start - but you need an established presence before you start posting jobs.
Post about your work culture. Share what makes your company great, which services you provide and what makes it a great place to work. It’s easy to entice candidates (and prospective clients) by showing the exciting and normal snippets of your daily work life.
2. Find the Best Job Boards
Job boards are the #1 way to reach professionals. Posting on these sites ensures that you’re reaching the maximum number of qualified candidates.
Do your research, find out which job sites are most active in your industry. Make sure your job posting is thorough and really showcases your benefits and other aspects that set you apart in your industry.
3. Use Referral Incentives
The US Bureau of Labor and Statistics says 85% of jobs are filled by networking. Your employees already bring you the best candidates, why not incentivize them? Providing a cash bonus or other incentive encourages your employees to find even more quality candidates.
