Our best tips to find employees for your business
If you want to attract new employees, you’re in luck. The Labor Department says 4.3 million people quit their jobs in August. Thanks to “The Great Resignation,” many skilled workers are looking for their next best job.
That means it’s time for you to convince them your open position is their dream job. The hiring process can be time-consuming and challenging, but finding an all-star team player is worth the effort. But if you’re worried about attracting bad employees, don’t be. The Komando team has your back.
We know of a few great ways you can find employees on Craigslist, Facebook, LinkedIn or wherever else you upload your job posting. These are essential tips for job recruiters. Follow this checklist to find new employees for your company.
1. Post on social media – not just job sites
Don’t limit yourself to job sites. Sure, that’s where the vast majority of job seekers will be, but you’re missing out if you only post on Monster or ZipRecruiter. Take advantage of social media and post your job on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Think of it this way: You’re casting as wide a net as possible. You might even pique the interest of someone already in a job. Maybe seeing your ad in their feed makes them look into your company and decide to make the switch.
2. Make sure your company has a great LinkedIn page
Our sponsor LinkedIn says 40 million people use its platform to find jobs every week. Needless to say, your LinkedIn presence plays a huge role in landing your next star candidate.
That’s why it’s a good idea to polish up your company page. Make sure you have a well-written front page with engaging graphics and photos. Insert links to the company website.
Just make sure your front page isn’t a ghost town. You want to make an excellent first impression on future employees.
3. Ask your current employees to spread the word
Don’t underestimate your team’s networking skills. They might know a friend who has the perfect skillset. Ask them to put out some feelers.
