Every company wants high performers. They’re more productive, highly driven, can save you money on hiring and, if you can keep them around long enough, they have the potential to do great things for your organization. But when it comes to attracting them, it seems companies are still stuck with their outdated ideas of talent acquisition. They’re still trying to attract high performers with compensation , and this isn’t the way to go about it.

The benefits of working remotely can go on and on – avoiding the dreadful rush-hour traffic, saving commute costs, balancing work and life and more. It is no surprise that Forrester predicts almost half (43%) of the U.S. workforce will be remote by next year. But there is one major drawback. As convenient as working remotely can be, it often leads to a lack of culture that prevents it from becoming a truly desirable option.

The hiring process can be nerve-wracking for candidates. They can wait weeks to hear back about jobs, if at all. Good employers make the hiring process as easy on candidates as possible , and this means more than creating automatic forms. It means developing a more personal experience from start to finish. Make yourself a better employer, find better candidates, hire better employees by keeping these few things in mind.

It’s no secret that today’s hiring market is tough! The constant changes can make it seem impossible for HR leaders, hiring teams, and hiring managers to remain flexible and agile. However, there’s a silver lining amongst all the hiring chaos, as these changes also bring great opportunities and fresh ways for HR leaders to gain that competitive edge in the race for top talent.

I try and stay positive. Recruitment has a habit of beating you down occasionally, but to last in this industry, you have to have hope. Hope that a candidate shows up to an interview. Hope that the offer is sufficient. Hope that next month will be “the one” My usual level of optimism has been dented of late however, we a succession of junior candidates.

Pardon ME????!? No, no, no - not that backside. I’m talking the “marketing life-cycle” backside. Think in terms of your job search; if you’re in the category of “long-term” unemployed, you have a branding issue – how do you continue to promote and differentiate a brand (you) that is way past the honeymoon stage? What is your strategy for keeping that brand profitable in the mature stage?

There’s no time like the present to remind jobseekers of yet another avenue that’s often overlooked when it comes to landing a new job. If you’re like most people, when you part ways with an employer, your instinct is to brush your hands together, move on and don’t look back.
