If you read our blog last month, Identifying Your Ideal Candidate Blueprint, you should be well on your way to finding the right candidate! The next step is to find the ideal candidate pool. Do you know where to start? Have you been posting and seeing no results?
Where are you posting your open positions? Are you tracking which job titles perform and which don’t? Certain job boards are better for certain industries. Where you are posting can be just as important as what you’re posting. Research job boards, and see where your industry thrives the most. According to ConsumersAdvocate, Zip Recruiter seems to be most beneficial to recruiters, since it posts to so many job boards at once. Whereas Indeed is the best overall job board. According to Indeed itself, 10 jobs are posted every second on their site. A simple search on Google can lead you to the job board best suited for your industry!
Building a strong network is always a great idea, and can lead you to find the right candidate. Reaching out to the people you already have in your toolbox can be beneficial, people know people. Advertising your job on social media can also be a great way to draw in candidates. Staffing agencies are also a great tool to utilize and have a niche for drawing out the best candidates.
