It’s tough out there when it comes to attracting great talent.
What’s more, businesses are increasingly going to have to adapt to hybrid work models: top talent is requiring it.
Some tips to help you do both:
· Leverage your employer brand: showcase how your company’s opportunities and values stand out from your competitors. (Added bonus: you’ll attract candidates who like your values, while “discouraging” candidates who don’t from applying.
· Embrace digital recruiting. Hard. Interview via video. Hold virtual job fairs. Post on social media frequently – offering posts that provide value on job search, career progression, etc.
· Provide remote and hybrid work options. The best talent today clamors for these benefits and will ignore your opportunities unless you offer – at minimum – the opportunity to work remotely two or so days a week.
· Support employee well-being by promoting – and walking your talk – work-life balance. Offer wellness programs, mental health support. Focus more on results and less on “when” the work is done.
