Do you have a strategy in place for finding and recruiting the right candidates? Skywalk Group recently issued a White Paper on this very topic, and we would like to share a few of those strategies with you:

Recruiting Landscape in Today’s Market

Recruiting today is part of a dynamic, ever-changing environment. It’s widely known that effective hiring is one way to boost your organization’s success. Here are some of the major forces involved:

• What was once a pro-employer recruiting environment, is now candidate-centric.

• Roughly 63% of the workforce is “passive.” That is, they are open to a change in employment, but are not actively seeking out that change.

• With more experience and seniority in the field, often comes a more “passive” job-search approach.

• Candidates today are often concerned with the “right fit.” Are the company’s mindset and values in line with the candidate’s, and vice versa.

• Today, social professional networking sites are the most powerful platforms for finding top candidates.

• Mobile recruiting capabilities tend to be favored and even expected when looking and applying for a job.

As a result, many businesses are encountering a perceived shortfall in supply of qualified candidates, increased time to fill their open positions, as well as increased competition for those top players.

Effective Recruiting Solutions

To successfully engage in this challenging recruiting environment, companies must proactively communicate and connect outside what has been the typical hiring mindset. Specifically, companies need to:

1. Enhance their company brand experience for candidates through talent branding

2. Develop a mobile recruitment strategy

3. Connect with candidates in a blend of high-tech/high-touch
