4 Tips on How To Recruit the Best Employees

Necessary Job Descriptions

1. Have a firm job description that highlights the perceived strengths of the employees whom you are looking to recruit:

If you are trying to recruit a sales manager, keep the job description geared mostly towards sales management.

Discuss the other aspects of the job at the interview, as job descriptions that are too long often turn off the job seeker.

The most effective job descriptions are 1 - 1.5 pages in length (widened margins).

Just Because You're the Employer, Doesn't Mean You Don't Sell

2. Remember that you are selling your company as much as the prospective employee is going to have to sell themselves:

There are aspects that make each company unique and intriguing to work for.

Prior to the interviewees coming in, make a list as to what those are and make sure to go over them during the course of the conversation.

Another thing that is crucial is your ability to turn what could be negatives into positives.

Again, prior to the individual coming in, or prior to the initial phone conversation, write these potential applicant concerns down and brainstorm the positive aspects that may come with these potential pitfalls and touch on them as well.

For instance, a small company may not have the perceived job stability from the job applicants that a larger firm may posses.

Whether this is factual or not, make sure to mitigate any fears that your smaller firm cannot provide the same type of stability and longevity than that of a Fortune 500.

Regardless of how the conversation is going and how comfortable you may feel wit the individual, the last thing that you want to do is discuss negative aspects about the company or job. 4 Tips for Recruiting Employees Continued
