Here are my three pillars of recruitment tips that will result in better recruitment and retention!
Proactive Recruiting & Why It Matters?
Proactive recruiting involves nurturing a relationship with potential candidates, engaging with them, and keeping an open dialogue until a role that fits their skills opens up in your organisation.
As a hiring manager, you’ll need to shift your approach to recruiting, put on your marketing and sales hats, and walk your potential candidates through a strategic recruitment pipeline: HERE ARE MY TOP 3 TIPS

Years of experience and relevant experience
Current and previous roles types
Education level, relevant certifications or training

Are there any internally staff that would be interested in a promotion?
Networks: reach out to your personal and business contacts and industry networks
Do you or does your business have a LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram account that you could post about an expression of interest job opportunity?
Do you have any unique online communities where employees and industry leaders go to network and connect? Linked in and Facebook have many industry groups
Does your social media or website welcome interested prospects to submit their CV/resume?

3.Candidate Attraction
A great employer brand attracts 50% more qualified applicants and reduces cost-per-hire by 50%. Not to mention companies with strong employer brands hire one to two times faster.

Ensuring a positive candidate experience can also attract more top talent, as candidates are more likely to recommend your company to their peers or friends, even if they aren’t selected for the role.
