Work on your job descriptions

You should always look at systems and tools that help you communicate with candidates at every stage of the process.

Your current employees can help

Involve your current employees in the recruitment process. Depend on them for internal hiring and also for external sources/links to qualified candidates. Get into a referral program with rewards. Create your employer branding division internally and tap your employees by motivating them to recruit for various positions. Give them relevant material that they can use in this regard. Your employees can sometimes be excellent sources of qualified candidates, making your process more efficient. 

Explore various online platforms

You can find candidates from not just job boards but many other sources. These include social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and even groups on Facebook, and forums like Reddit, Behance, Stack Exchange. Basically, as part of your hiring strategy, focus on online communities where the top candidates are present. This will help you streamline your focus on these sources. 

Revamp your interview systems

Current employees should assist your recruiters or hiring managers in particular departments to make the process more efficient and smoother at the same time. First, build a standardized template for assessing prospective candidates. You can customize this for each job position you are looking to recruit.

Consistently and continually sourcing prospects for various job positions before their actual availability is the way to stay on top of your recruiting requirements. This helps you nurture a candidate pipeline and connect with passive prospects across various professional and social communities and platforms. Passive aspirants are vital for enhancing your recruitment process, particularly in a job market that now prioritizes the right talent above everything else.
