Behind every successful company is a team of loyal, hardworking people. However, these trustworthy employees aren’t always easy to find, so if you’re looking to expand your staff, you’ll need to put some serious effort into your search.
The value of a dedicated and honest employee who truly wants to help your company succeed cannot be emphasized enough. Use these tips to find the best possible candidates to fill your open positions:
- Write comprehensive job descriptions detailing all major duties associated with the position. The best employees have their choice of companies, so they won’t even look twice at a vague posting offering little-to-no insight on what the job entails. Responsibilities tend to evolve with time, so always update these descriptions before posting.
- Sell your company as a desirable place to work, to make top talent want to join your team. Create a robust online presence detailing what it’s like to be part of your staff. Share pictures of the office, fun employee parties and accomplishments your team has realized together. Detail employment perks and feature employee testimonials on your website.
- Ask for referrals from existing employees, as no one is going to recommend someone they don’t want to work with. People aren’t going to risk their good name by endorsing a candidate who may tarnish their reputation. This is a great way to add employees to your staff who are of the same caliber as your existing top talent, because they’re plucked directly from the same networks.
- Conduct reference checks to make sure all top contenders are as great as they seem. This is a savvy way to verify employment and learn key information about the person from someone who has worked with them. The information you find will either confirm that you’re making the right choice or effectively warn you to cut ties with the person, before it’s too late.
- Work with a staffing agency to get your hiring decisions right the right time. Recruiters are experts at what they do, so you can count on them to find a candidate who exceeds your expectations. Staffing professionals have extensive networks, filled with talented people who can be difficult to find elsewhere. Your recruiter will do all the legwork for you, so you just have to make the final hiring decision.
