How Your Team Can Attract Candidates
Here’s How Your Team Can Attract Candidates Who Aren’t Looking for a Job
The tight labor market means there are more open roles than available job seekers to fill them.
What is your team doing to proactively reach potential applicants?
The tight labor market means most of today’s job seekers are already employed, making it more competitive than ever before for employers to recruit qualified candidates.
And according to a new study, not only is the unemployment rate at a historic low, but few employees are in the market for new roles.
The Gartner Global Talent Monitor report found that only one-third of currently employed U.S. workers are actively looking for a job.
a decline from 41 percent earlier this year.
This data was pulled from the Gartner Global Labor Market Survey.
which is sourced from nearly 30,000 employees in 40 countries and regions.
With the total number of employees who are actively seeking jobs on the decline.
what can your team do to secure qualified candidates for your open roles? I’ve outlined a few steps you can take below.
1. Reach out to past employees.
The most successful employers in a tight economy think outside the box when it comes to their hiring efforts.
One strategy you might not have thought of previously is hiring employees who worked for your company previously.
While some employees leave the company for negative reasons — such as not reaching their performance goals .
many of your top employees likely left while still having a positive impression of your organization.
A coin has been termed for employees who leave an organization only to return at a later date — “boomerang employees.”
Perhaps you had an employee who accepted another role because he or she had the opportunity to move up the career ladder.
