Recruiting Outside the Box

75% of HR leaders struggle to attract and recruit the top talent they need.

Basic recruiting techniques are bland. Spice up your recipe.

One-on-one interviews can be intimidating and awkward...

...try a group interview instead.

“Candidates get a chance to better understand the job and how potential future coworkers interact.”

“Organizations that use a team approach to interviewing tend to make much smarter hiring decisions."

Use your people

“Too many companies focus on industry experience when they recruit…

...we can teach people about finance. We can’t teach passion, urgency, and a willingness to go the extra mile.”

Current employees know best of all who from their networks would fit in.

Passive Candidates-----------------Take IKEA

The company created a set of “career instructions,” which it placed inside of some of its furniture packaging...

Customers would get home, open the package, read the directions, read the job description, get a new table, get a new job.

45% of workers will jump ship for a new job even though they are happy in their current position.

Past applicant + employee referrals

Go back into the archives and dust off top applicants from past cycles who were not hired.

Social Grapevine

Red 5 Studio handpicked 100 ideal candidates and got to ‘know’ them by researching their social media profiles and past work experience...

The startup then sent each one a personalized iPod equipped with a welcome from the CEO.

Get creative. You never know where your next best employee will come from.
