Lee Sitarz blogs that personnel recruitment is competitive, and if you are not on your A-game when it comes time to hire, you will find top talent slipping through your fingers more often than you would like. You need to know how to recruit successfully without exhausting your resources, and we are here to help:

  1. Go the Extra Mile with Your Job Description When it comes to recruiting, writing an effective job description is one of the most important elements that you have full control over. A job description is the first exposure that candidates will have to your organization, so you need to make it count.
  2. Do Your Research It may be rare but it does happen, some candidates are not completely truthful about their experience and qualifications. If you rely solely on a candidate word without researching and verifying their professional backgrounds, you could end up having to start the hiring process all over again when they does not work out.
  3. Network with Passive Candidates Passive candidates can be your ideal new hires. You already know they have practical experience, and just because they are not actively looking for a new job does not mean they will not be open to new opportunities at a later date.
  4. Stick to an Interview Rubric One of the biggest interview mistakes hiring managers make is letting their personal biases get in the way of making an informed hire. Relying on intuition can be a big part of hiring great candidates, especially for experienced interviewers, but it can also lead to bias and poor judgement. This is where an interview rubric comes in.
  5. Do Not Be Afraid to Reach Out During the recruiting stages, there could be one candidate that stands far above the rest, but this individual may be on the fence about joining your team. Maybe your competitors are making offers you can not compete with, but that does not mean you have lost the battle. Read the detail for each of the above topics.
