Emphasize Your Company Culture
Showcase your company’s mission, vision, and values and how your employees carry them out:
- Use your careers page, social media pages, employer review sites, and job descriptions to demonstrate what working for your organization is like.
- Include how offering competitive income and benefits, flexibility, and growth opportunities make your company a desirable place to work.
- Share employee stories and testimonials.
- Highlight your employer recognition awards.
Demonstrating your company culture helps candidates visualize working for you. This strategy encourages top talent to apply to your job openings.
Enhance the Candidate Experience
Increase efficiency and touchpoints in your hiring process to elevate the candidate experience. Satisfied candidates will likely post positive employer reviews and refer other talent to your company.
Implement these tips to enhance the candidate experience:
- Ensure the wording in job descriptions, emails, automated messages, and content aligns with the desired messaging about your organization.
- Ensure the application process can be completed within 3 minutes to maintain candidate engagement.
- Check that applicants regularly receive information about where they are in the hiring process, the next step, and when to expect a response.
- Share hiring decisions as soon as possible.
Diversify Your Sourcing
Expand your strategies to find talent. These alternative sources might include:
- Passive candidates
- Universities
- Trade schools
- Advocacy groups
- Specialized online forums
- Industry leaders
- Military job boards
Encourage Employee Referrals
Regularly share your hiring needs with your employees. Your employees can refer members of their network who fit the job qualifications and company culture.
Employee referrals typically perform well and remain long-term because they already know someone within the organization. As a result, you save time and money on talent acquisition.
Provide a bonus to each employee whose referral remains for a set time. Show that you value your employees’ engagement in company growth.
