If you want to recruit the best talent for your vacancy, here’s what you need to know.

Hiring can be risky – it’s a gamble knowing whether you’ve hired the right person. Maybe you hire someone and they were all talk in the interview, but they don’t quite cut the mustard on a practical level. Maybe they don’t gel well with the rest of your team. Today on the Blue Glove Jobs Blog, we are looking at how to avoid hiring the wrong person & how to recruit only the best talent for your vacancies.

Everyone has made a bad hire at least once. Just don’t let it happen again!

Hiring isn’t easy and anyone who has ever made a hire, has probably made a bad hire. In interviews, candidates can put on facades, tell lies, and over exaggerate.  Brief interviews aren’t necessarily the greatest way to determine someone’s personality either. You can’t fully get to know someone within a half hour time slot. Making a bad hire is simply a mistake, but not correcting that mistake when you go to hire new talent is also a mistake! Check out our top tips to make sure you’re reaching the right people for you and your team.

 

Generate leads from your current talent.

Got a talented, hardworking and motivated team? Look to them for possible future employees. Birds of a feather flock together and all that! Chances are, the people working for you already, know people of a similar hardworking and motivated nature. If you are looking to recruit, speak to your team and get them to ask around. Sometimes the best talent is right in front of you. With this method, you can save a lot of time and money on the recruitment process too!

Who did you reject last time?

Remember who was close second to getting the job last time? Call them back. There is nothing embarrassing about reaching back out to your second choice. If anything, it will be a nice surprise for them and they will more than likely be grateful that you kept their name on file. And who knows? they might still be looking for a new job! Give your second chance a first refusal.

 

 

Make sure your job is appealing.

If you’re struggling to recruit the best talent, look at your job advert. If you can’t attract the right kind of talent, maybe you’re not putting out the right kind of job advert. Have you been specific enough? Or maybe you have been too specific and have limited the number of people who could apply. Are you offering the right kind of wage for the job you’re expecting to be done?
