There is a time in every manager’s career when they need a little bit of extra help. Whether it’s short-term assistance or something a little more permanent, it can be difficult to find the specific talent you need at the exact time you need it. Luckily, there are a number of tried-and-true methods you can use to strengthen your team’s productivity and secure the resources needed to succeed.
Utilizing the Traditional Channels
If your business or career spans multiple decades, the traditional channels may have evolved since you started. Today, these avenues typically include online job boards, business-oriented social media sites, and: internet-based classified ads. Utilizing these resources, along with the more common channels like magazine classified ads, tradeshows and college recruitment, will ensure you have access to the largest pool of talent possible.
Thinking Outside the Box
Once you’ve tapped the traditional channels, it’s time to move on with some of the non-traditional resources. Some popular options include:
- Recruiting the friends and family members of your current staff: Not only does this minimize the effort on your behalf, this typically results in genuine candidates who are skilled, hardworking and diligent.
- Hosting company-sponsored events, including activities that offer specialized certification or training: This is a great way of recruiting new workers – including top talent from your competitors and all corners of the industry – to your company. After all, it’s much easier to recruit them once they’re already in the door.
- Filtering your search for candidates according to specific interests or skills: For best results, use modern applicant tracking systems (ATS) to automate the process.
- Performing interviews via online streaming video: Today’s job seekers are utilizing the latest and greatest in technology – so it’s important you do, too.
