As a hard-working staffing company, we understand that the past year has left many companies recruiting on a tighter budget than normal. In the following sections, we provide tips and tricks on how to blend human touch with technology so that your organization can continue recruiting quality candidates on a tight budget.
1. Feel free to come up with unique compensation ideas.
In addition to money, there are other useful ways to attract candidates to positions. Millennials are dominating the workplace today, and unlike generations before, they are more willing to accept unique compensation beyond a salary. Millennial’s value having a work-life balance, so consider offering things such as a flexible working schedule, work-from-home Fridays, travel perks, and training opportunities. The key is knowing your potential hire, identifying his or her priorities, and designing creative solutions that will match these priorities.
2. Utilize the internet to tell a story about your brand.
It is no secret that branding is important for customers, but it also helps attract top candidates. When applying for positions or accepting an interview many applicants will turn directly to Google for answers about your company. Take some time to establish a strong brand that tells a story about who you are and what you do through your website, blogs, social media platforms, business listings, and any other niche forums that can be found online. Your brand should provide candidates with a clear view of your company culture and employees, giving them the freedom to see themselves in your company. Quality candidates will often choose not to apply or accept a job interview if your company’s online presence is confusing or hard to follow. When a brand is well-represented on social media, it is an excellent recruiter's tool.
3. Interviews are a crucial part of your brand.
When a potential candidate takes time to interview with your company, they are often investing a lot of time and effort into your meeting. Some may be taking time off work, buying new clothes, practicing answers, and paying for childcare. Therefore, each interview should be treated carefully, the candidate should feel comfortable, refreshments should be offered, and time should be respected. Despite the fact you might not choose that candidate if you keep a positive impression of your company they may come back with more experience or recommend a family member or friend who fits the bill. You never know what can come from a positive interaction!
4. Use current staff for referrals.
Your current staff knows the company better than anyone else. Try offering a referral strategy to find staffing opportunities. This includes offering current employees some of the flexible compensation strategies you came up with in tips one for every referral and/or new hire they can bring to the company.
