Do These Five Things Before Posting A Job
I know of a recruiter who placed a client’s brother at his firm. They even got paid on it, and rightly so. They solved the problem. It’s a little absurd though and I’m sure the client will be more thoughtful next time. Here’s a checklist to quickly find your low hanging options:
-
Send an email to industry colleagues and employees asking for a referral.
-
Review past submitted resumes, which you obviously saved, for appropriate keywords.
-
Follow up with past candidates who accepted offers elsewhere. Are they happy?
-
Write a realistic job description FOR THAT JOB. Do not hire if they don’t compare well to the description and if they match it you will aggressively pursue them.
-
