The right talent will seldom walk into your organization with an application for a job profile that will best suit your open positions. Your best hires are mostly the candidates, who are passive job seekers or who are probably applying elsewhere. Hence, hiring managers will have to go beyond just ads, job listings and cold calling. Here are a few creative ways that might attract the most suitable talent.
1. Interactive Open House
Job fairs can be intimidating with everyone prepared to grab the most lucrative jobs in blue shirt and tie uniforms along with their strong portfolios. However, interactive open houses where the candidates are not under any pressure to give interviews and can openly talk to experts in the room are better. Such informal mingling sessions can also be packed with informative industry news and trends that may not be readily available on the internet. Such educational settings and meetings will help the candidates to make a clear decision and to get in touch with their preferred organizations. Hiring managers can utilize such informal open houses to answer pertinent questions about the jobs and attract the right talent. This was originally published on SCIKEY website.
