Finding the right person for the job has never been easy — and it’s harder than ever amid the current labor shortage. You need to fill open positions on your team, but you’re not willing to hire just anyone.

Traditional hiring solutions might not work right now, so it’s time to get a little creative. Here’s a few ideas to help you find the caliber of candidate you want.

4 Tips to Find Top Talent Right Now

 

Seek Employee Referrals

You’ve probably wished you could clone some of your employees, because they’re so talented. While you can’t do that, you can tap into their networks, where you’ll find loads of quality candidates. Many of these people will likely be passive candidates, so you won’t even have to compete with other companies. Feel confident your employees won’t recommend anyone they don’t truly stand behind, because they want to please you and work with people they genuinely like.

Hire Temporary Workers

It’s impossible to know how a candidate will both perform and mesh with your team until they’re in the job. Testing out candidates on a temp-to-hire basis is a unique opportunity to just see how things go. If you like them, you can offer them a permanent spot on the team at the end of their contract, but if not, there’s no obligation to do so.

Use Predictive Analysis

An innovative way to staff your workforce, predictive hiring allows you to use data and analytics to hire. Data and predictive algorithms help narrow down your list of applicants, so you can spend more time vetting the right candidates. Instead of relying mostly on human intuition, you’re able to use tried-and-true software that provides seriously helpful results.

Streamline Your Hiring Process

When candidates apply for an open position at your company, you want to ensure they have a good experience. Things like an unnecessarily detailed application or a hiring process that’s way too long can cause you to lose top talent. Surveying new hires and applicants about their experience will help you make the right adjustments.
