An Effective Recruiting Plan [Excerpt]

Looking for talent? The smartest employers, who hire the best people, recruit a pre-qualified candidate pool of potential employees before they need to fill a job. Or, as Harvey Mackay, well-known, irreverent author and speaker, says about networking, Dig Your Well, Before You’re Thirsty.

You can develop relationships with potential candidates long before you need them. These ideas will also help you in recruiting a large pool of candidates when you have a current position available.

The earlier you adopt these practices, the better your organization will do in the ongoing war for talent. Many American Companies are experiencing an apparent tough competition for securing needed skilled employees. However, you will experience outright wars for talent as the baby boomer generation retires, especially in the technology and trade fields.
