Reasons Why You Struggle to Hire Top Talents Online
Since the start of the pandemic, most hires have shifted online. Companies find it easier to recruit potential talents online, especially since face-to-face interviews are risky. Even when employees begin to get back to work, these online recruitments continue. The problem is that not all companies succeed in hiring the best employees. If you go through the same issue, here are the possible reasons.
You’re not clear when advertising
When you use job boards to advertise the vacancy, you should be clear about it. Provide the job descriptions and the salary scale. Be as detailed as possible. It allows potential candidates to determine if they will apply for the position. It also shows how serious the business is. Improve the details before posting them.
You limit yourself
While it’s a good thing to use job boards, they’re not the only options. You can maximize other platforms. You may advertise on social media to ensure a wider reach. You can also partner with agencies that will help find the right person for the job. These agencies will also use job boards, but they already have a candidate pool that can help you.
You don’t have a competitive rate
Let’s face it. People decide to accept a post because of a competitive salary offer. You must know how much your competitors offer before posting anything. If you can’t compete in terms of salary, you may consider other benefits. If you’re way behind in this regard, you won’t receive quality applicants.
You disregard newbies
Sure, experience is necessary to do well in a job. However, it doesn’t mean that new graduates are no longer suitable. They’re still capable of doing a great job if given the chance. Therefore, if you see fresh graduates on the roster of applicants, don’t ignore them. You might find a treasure from this group.
You don’t have a proactive approach
Again, waiting for candidates to apply to the post isn’t a great idea. You should try to be more proactive. Look for the best people through various sites. You should also check out the employees of your competitors. You can attend conferences, trade shows, seminars, and other events where you might find these people. They might not be active applicants right now, but you can always change their minds.
You don’t seem interested during the interview
You might frame the interview as a chance to know the candidates. You want to filter your options and don’t want to show that you’re interested in them. The truth is you must express excitement during the interview. There’s no guarantee that you will select that candidate. Your goal is to show that your company is welcoming and an excellent place for qualified employees. If you show a terrible attitude from the start, you will scare potential candidates away.
Hopefully, you will improve your hiring process and select the best person for the team.
