Attracting the perfect candidate requires more than just a well-written job description. There’s a lot of competition out there, so you’ll need to make sure your company stands out above the rest. Let’s dive into actionable strategies for you to market open roles effectively, ensuring you attract the best-fit talent for your company’s culture and needs.
Positive Online Reviews
Today’s job seekers are looking for a company to call home. Whether it’s a strong work-life balance, fair compensation, or the opportunity to advance, many people turn to online reviews to see if a company offers what they want. Ask your current team members to review your organization on various job sites. Send out surveys as part of the recruitment process and aggregate the data on your website. The more positive reviews you have online, the easier it will be to attract the perfect candidate. Just make sure all reviews are genuine, and not coerced.
Fun and Welcoming Social Media Profiles
Make it easy for prospects to see themselves doing the job day to day. Your social media profiles should help them understand how they would fit in. Testimonials from current employees, a walking tour of the job site, and occasional posts about companywide special events can all help position your company as a fun and inclusive place to work. Be sure to feature team members from different backgrounds to highlight your organization’s diversity.
Knowing What You’re Looking for in an Employee
This is a vital step that many businesses overlook. How can you expect to attract the perfect candidate if you aren’t sure what that looks like? Take the time to sit down and go through the background, skills, values, and other traits that really matter in the role. Then find a way to communicate them in your job descriptions.
Working with a Recruitment Partner
Recruiting and hiring can be costly and time-consuming. If you don’t have a large HR staff, it’s easy for the process to get bogged down. But top-tier candidates won’t wait around for long.
