Detroit,
Michigan – A new year has sparked thousands of job opening in several cities;
however the search to find qualified candidates is always a laborious task.
Here are a few tips to help your company attract the perfect candidates ready
to interview with your company.
Brag, Brag, and Build Interest.
Identify three outstanding qualities about your company so you can share it
with newspapers and local media. Word-of-mouth marketing can reach twice as
many people. Potential candidates are extremely interested in working for
companies that offer high salaries, opportunities for advancement, paid health
insurance, retirement planning and vacation pay. Think about how you can build
the reputation of your company by creating marketing advertisements that
highlight what you can do for the perfect candidates. From a classified
advertisement that features the picture of current employees listing what your
company offers to a viral video showing an inside look at your daily
operations.
Be Creative, Host a Contest. Nothing
like a good contest to encourage applicants to submit their resume. Prospecting
for new applicants can be expensive, hard work, and can eat up the budget of
any company small or large with no result guarantee. The best job applicant
have always been, still is, and will always be the one who contacts you. Every
30-days launch a big resume contest; offer the best prospects a 30-60-90-day
hiring incentive. Get your local college radio station to promote the event.
Just like the F.B.I – Post a Reward.
Social
media is a great place to generate buzz use your companies Facebook, Twitter
and Linkedin pages to get people to promote your Most Wanted List post a reward
for information leading to a new hire. If recruiting good talent is puzzling
you put some money out there - get people to search for you. Be sure to include
your current employees and local churches in the search everyone loves extra
money.
Get Out the Office and Network. Company
recruiters can’t sort through faceless resumes daily and expect the best
candidates to magically appear. Attending a JobFairGiant.com Job Expo event can
increase your chance of meeting dynamic candidates eager to interview with your
company. Potential applicants attend job expo events with the intentions to
discover new job markets, network with industry recruiters to secure a formal
interview. JobFairGiant.com has sponsored job expo events in several Michigan
cities for over twelve years; connecting hiring employers with experienced
professionals, recent college graduates, military veterans and entry-level
workers.
Volunteers Welcome to Apply. There
is no way to estimate if new hire’s will mesh well with your company, preform
assign task well or improve productivity in their department. Internships and
volunteering is not just for high school or college kids. Candidates that have
the education for the job but lack the work experience maybe willing to work pro
bono for a limited time. To ensure volunteers will put their best skills forward
offer a weekly salary draw, encourage friendly competition invite multiple
candidates to volunteer at the same time, be sure to agree on a volunteer start
date and end date – no one wants to waste their time volunteering if a job
offer is not possible.
