I received a phone call this week from an employer who is struggling with finding the right employees in today’s job market. I was thinking about some of the suggestions that I shared with him, and I wanted to pass my advice onto all of you!
TAKE ON A POSITIVE MINDSET
-
Good people are out there.
-
You will find awesome candidates. If you have this mind-set, you will take more effective and empowered actions than the leader who believes all the good people are taken and no one is out there.
-
Be the kind of leader who finds employees in unique, easy and effortless ways.
-
Though you may have had a position open for a long time, don’t resort to hiring just anyone. You have an obligation to your current staff to hire someone who fits your culture and the job position. Doing otherwise can stir employee
-
Take a moment to consider your ideal employee. Hire more people who fit those qualifications and speak to those ideal qualities in your job listing.
MORE QUICK TIPS...
-
Use local job-service organizations and part-time staffing services. Consider hiring veterans or people with disabilities. These people can be very loyal and committed.
-
Use multiple social media platforms with your employees’ help. Chances are, one of your employees will be comfortable with a social media platform that intimidates you.
TAKE THIS ACTION
Pick one mindset and one quick tip that you will integrate and take to find your next hire.
