Much has already been said about how your people are your organisation’s best asset. But how exactly do you find the right — and the best — talents for your company? In this article, we’re spilling eight secrets on how you can achieve it.

Identify what you need. This doesn’t end with knowing which job positions in your company must be filled. More importantly, you have to know which type of employee you’re looking for. What should be their qualifications? How about previous work experience? What kind of personality would suit the position best?

Highlight what’s in it for your candidates. When advertising your vacancies, you have to show what sets your business apart and how will working in your company help the candidate career-wise. You also have to state the kind of work environment they’ll be in to manage their expectations better.

Don’t just settle for resumes from your initial search. To find the best, you have to search wisely and dig deeply. Understand the market, identify where the talents for your niche are, and do your scouting there. These places could be social media channels or university career and job fairs.

Ask for referrals. Let your employees take part in the recruitment process. And one of the best ways you can do this is by incentivising them to bring in referrals. An advantage of this is that your employees can vouch for the candidates and explain the workplace setting well because of their first-hand experience.

Network, network, network. Go out and attend networking events for your business. By networking, you can personally meet and reach out to candidates. In addition to finding talents, you can also socialise with potential suppliers and prospective partners for your business.

Conduct strategic interviews. The interview is one of the most critical parts of the recruitment process. So you have to be really skilled about it. Design a questionnaire that will bring to the surface hidden aspects of the interviewees. Also, don’t be afraid to assess their skills by giving relevant, practical tests.

Hire help from a procurement recruitment agency. To save you time, money, and energy, you can count on an agency’s extensive network to help you find the best talents for your company. Apart from their access to professionals, they are also experienced in handling the different aspects of recruitment — from searching to doing background checks and interviewing.

Strengthen your company culture. Recruiting promising talents is one thing. Keeping them is another. Employees stay in a company not only because of good pay and other perks. What empowers them more is how you treat them — and the values and culture that thrive within your organisation.
