Are you finding qualified talent but struggling to find them where you need them? The practice of localized recruiting is quickly becoming a dated process. Changes in workforce demand and skill set availabilities by location, have made today’s job market a difficult one to find local qualified talent. Where does that leave your organization?
Hiring managers and HR professionals across the nation are quickly finding that in order to have the best qualified talent in their organization they may have to think outside of the box to locate them. Ever changing recruiting methods from social media recruiting to traditional head hunting, have allowed recruiters and hiring managers alike the ability to locate top level talent anywhere in the world. While these tools are available to virtually anyone, the process can be more difficult than it seems. There are legal and financial consequences for an individual and their organization for improperly utilizing social media in their recruiting process, head hunting can be very difficult and time consuming, and other methods also require a lot of dedicated time and resources.
With high demand skill sets and professional candidates, the appeal of trial to hire type positions is greatly diminishing. Candidates with in-demand skills and experience are aware that they are valuable in today’s market and are not settling for mediocre opportunities. Passive candidates are even more unlikely to leave their current position for anything less than a direct hire opportunity and often have been pursued by local employers. Where does that leave you in your need for talent?
Identifying and screening top level talent is only half of the battle. Today’s market requires employers to present an attractive employment package which often includes a direct hire opportunity, competitive compensation and benefits, and relocation compensation and assistance. Recent changes including technology, attrition, and a loss of interest in certain career paths have all resulted in talent shortages in a wide range of positions including CNC, technical manufacturing, drivers, construction, skilled trades, IT professionals, and Engineering professionals. If you are currently struggling to recruit and attract top level talent, now may be a great time to consider expanding your recruiting reach and creating a candidate relocation process.
