The UGLY Truth in Recruiting: Rethinking Your Recruitment Strategies

Attracting and retaining top talent to your organization is once again evolving. The game is no longer how many job boards can you post your job on, but rather creating compelling reasons a job seeker to apply or respond to an email you sent. More importantly, how can I retain this person after I hire them? If you are not thinking about employee retention and growth, then you are already behind. Benefits, salaries, PTO, and carrying out the value proposition to your existing staff are becoming the missing link to companies who are serious about their recruitment strategies. The cookie cutter job ad, benefits, lengthy recruitment cycles, and mandatory time in the office, are being replaced quickly! Forward thinking organizations know the difference between a job ad versus a description, have shorter recruitment cycles, offer telecommute opportunities, leverage technology to their advantage, and offer some really cool benefits far beyond the traditional ones. If your recruitment strategy is not working then the “UGLY Truth in Recruiting” exists in your organization!
