It can be tough choosing the right candidate for an open position. As an employer, you need to know where to look to find the best potential new hires. That’s why Labor Solutions offers the following suggestions for how to find those hidden candidates.
Don’t Overlook These Potential Employees!
With more companies using advanced technology to screen applicants, there are some candidates falling through the cracks because their resumes don’t quite meet the criteria the screening software is looking for. Adjust applicant tracking systems to filter in candidates with certain skill sets, and periodically review any automated systems to ensure that it is performing its intended function satisfactorily.
Be mindful of how you phrase the qualifications you’re looking for in job listings. A long list of very specific qualifications may discourage otherwise qualified applicants from applying. Limit the “must have” qualifications as much as possible, and include the less vital ones as “nice to have” traits.
Simplify your application process to avoid applicants having to input the same information multiple times. Many job candidates are exhausted by the arduous application process that many companies now rely on.
Be open to hiring individuals who have been out of the workforce for a while. There are many reasons a person may have been unemployed for some time, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t ready to make up for lost time.
Working with an agency like Labor Solutions is one of the best ways to tap into a large labor pool with a variety of skills. We specialize in helping workers connect with the best companies for their talents, so you can skip a lot of prescreening by simply working with Labor Solutions.
