Hiring the best candidates is more than following a standard
hiring procedure. It takes planning,
prioritizing and the ability to spot potential.
Recruiters should constantly “Think Outside The Box” explore
new ways to network with potential candidates. We are glad recruiters are using
social media to engage with potential candidates however, it is time to leave
the office and network in the community.
Recruiters are comfortable scanning resume search websites
and waiting for new resumes to appear in their inbox “this
is the old way of recruiting”. It is time to develop new relationships and
recruit candidates that add value to your company. Here are four ways to meet
and hired the best candidates.
Solution #1: Do attend state and local chamber commerce and business
networking events. This is a perfect way to meet professionals and build candidate
referral sources. Be sure to take
advantage of presentation opportunities; most chambers offer new members ten minutes
to introduce their company use this time to remind attendees you are hiring. Distribute
business cards and receive business cards, be sure to follow-up.
Solutions #2: Do host free hiring seminars at local colleges
and community centers. Team up with hiring firms such as JobFairGiant.com and
HiredInMichigan.com this is a great way to gain exposure using familiar brands.
A small gathering can generate hundreds
of resumes from word of mouth advertising and media promotions. Prepare a short
presentation no more than sixty-minutes. Follow this guideline:
5- Minute introduction
5- Minute company bio
10- Minute verbal presentation about positions available
10- Minute question and answer
10- Minute video presentation about positions
10- Minute verbal presentation discuss salary and benefits
10- Minute final Q & A and accept resumes
Be sure to make time for interviews.
Solution #3: Do participate in local job fairs that encourage
recruiters to meet, interview and hire candidate’s onsite. Avoid job fairs that
are not One-Stop Hiring Solutions we suggest that recruiters utilize job fairs
for more than resume collecting. Do your research before attending job fairs “not
all job fairs are the same” only attend job fairs host by reputable
companies. JobFairGiant.com is the
largest monthly job fair. We have collaborated with several local newspapers,
radio stations and television broadcasting stations to promote our monthly job
fairs. We guarantee recruiters will hire talented candidates at our job fair
events. It is important to participate
in job fairs that have active state and local synergies. We are the only monthly

JobFairGiant.com voted best job fair in Michigan for 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Hiring is our mission and goal for recruiters.
Solution #4: Do use recruitment firms to target and interview
candidates. If your time is limited it a good idea to hire a team of recruiters
to meet and interview candidates on behalf of your company. Do not confuse
staffing agencies with recruitment firms they are not the same. Recruitment
firms are paid recruiters that are hired to find the right candidates and
negotiate a fair salary “nothing more” hiring a staffing agency can be costly
for small businesses looking to hire a few people (research both options). Sion
