There are 8 ways recruiters and HR find candidates.
I love reading up on HR management content because it helps me help you see the big picture of how to land your dream job.
Part of the big picture is better understanding how companies are trying to find you…
Not just how you're trying to find them.
Because it's a challenge on both sides to find the perfect fit.
Savvy talent management professionals have a proactive strategy to ALWAYS keep their talent pipeline full with awesome candidates.
But how do they do it?
According to author Scott Wintrip of “High Velocity Hiring: How to Hire Top Talent in an Instant” it's 8 ways (and in this order):
1. Referrals / WOM (word of mouth)
2. Networking
3. Market Presence (branding)
4. Candidate Mining (doing CPR on resumes “on file”)
5. Talent Manufacturing (training and education companies)
6. Automation
7. Advertising
8. Talent Scouts
If this is how HR is looking for YOU, this is how you must be looking for them.
