Identify the best talent sources by considering the following:

• Past successes : Identify where you've already found great candidates. This can be via ad sites, social networking platforms, or forums specialized in your sector.
• Application conversion rate: See which channels not only attract candidates, but also translate into applications that convert.

• Employee recommendations: Consider how often employee referrals lead to successful hires, as these candidates often fit naturally into the company's culture.

Proactively search for future positions, not just vacancies. 🌱

Don't wait for candidates to come to you.

Transform your recruiting strategy from reactive to proactive by actively seeking talent for future roles, not just for immediate vacancies. This approach involves exploring the vast pool of passive candidates — talented professionals who are not actively looking for a new job but who could be the perfect fit for your organization in the long run.

Expand your search beyond job ads by taking advantage of professional networking platforms like LinkedIn and Glassdoor. These sites are gold mines for discovering candidates who may not even be considering a change, giving you an advantage in initiating conversations that could lead them to consider opportunities within your company.

Engaging these candidates now cultivates a relationship, making them more receptive to potential opportunities in the future.

Write engaging messages ✉️

Capturing the attention of the right candidates is crucial, but it's all in vain if they don't commit. Effective communication is the backbone of your talent sourcing efforts.

Think of your reach efforts as a key service that you offer to potential hires. It's about changing the perspective from a business-centric approach to a candidate centered approach. Focus on what the candidate is looking for in their next role, aligning your message more with their career aspirations than with the organization's needs alone.

Key techniques:

• Use a compelling email subject that sparks curiosity and encourages the candidate to go further.
• Add personal touches to each message, adapting the content to reflect the candidate's unique background and accomplishments.
• Give an overview of the position and how your business stands out.
• Highlight how the candidate's specific skills could make a difference in your team.

Understanding your target audience is critical. Tailoring your message to reflect different preferences can dramatically improve your engagement rates.

Finally, take advantage of the feedback from new hires on the effectiveness of your messaging. These insights can guide you to refine your approach, testing different strategies to see what resonates best and improves response rates.

Opt for the most suitable recruitment tools 🛠️
