7 Recruitment Strategies to Hire Top Employees

Adding a new employee comes with challenges and questions for businesses. Can the candidate do the job? Are they reliable? Will they get along with their co-workers?

To receive honest answers to these questions, companies must ask candidates questions during interviews that reduce the likelihood of rehearsed answers.

Doing well in a job interview does not always mean a candidate is ready to succeed in a role. Businesses should use job tests and assessments during the recruitment process to ensure that promising candidates will become effective employees.

Posting a job description online may seem like a simple task. In reality, planning, writing, and posting successful online job postings may require assistance from a recruitment professional.

Today, more than 7 in 10 adults (72%) use social media multiple times per day. Despite the massive presence of social media in people’s daily lives, companies should operate a targeted, selective social media recruiting strategy to reach relevant job candidates.

Managing job postings, resume banks, applications, and the candidate interview process can be challenging for a growing company. To reduce the amount of work necessary to recruit top employees, growing companies should invest in an applicant tracking system.

Companies want to be sure they hire the best people. Businesses can benefit from an inexpensive and effective form of talent discovery by offering rewards for employee referrals.

Not every future employee is actively looking for a new job. This means businesses should develop a “passive recruiting” strategy to hire top talent.
