How to Attract Right Fit Talent, Right From the Start.<\/h2>\n

\u201cNow hiring\u201d has become the mantra of business owners everywhere, due to the mass exodus of employees from the job force. Organizations that were once firm on applicants\u2019 years of experience and education, now find themselves scrambling to find folks who are recent graduates, and or slightly interested in the open position. What changes in the marketplace caused this huge shift in power, and process that was once controlled by the employer? Well, here are my thoughts on what happened and why. The increase in telecommuting, teleworking, and remote work from home granted employees the opportunity to complete job-related tasks and meetings in a comfortable and relaxed environment.  People who previously left home two hours early, to face a barrage of vehicles, were now able to evade commuter traffic jams and embrace time with family and friends.  Stress decreased, health increased, and they saved money on fuel and food.  But there\u2019s more, the w2er also had time to compare their values to the organizations mission statement and their employment experience.  In many instances, where there was misalignment, which ultimately lead to the great resignation.<\/b><\/p>\n

This brings us back to the original question, how to attract right-fit talent, right from the start, and this is a good place to be. Here today, organizations are now realizing that their prime directive should be to seek individuals who share their intentions and merits. But how is this accomplished?<\/b><\/p>\n

First things first, start the conversation.  Advancements in technology have changed the way organizations and individuals communicate. Recruiting and hiring have evolved from want ads in the newspaper, resumes sent in the mail and by fax, to electronic job boards, and applications sent by an app on a cell phone.  Hiring managers, and staffing agencies who previously requested a letter of reference, now rely heavily upon social media posts as a means to vet the applicant and gather intelligence, before they make the first phone call, or send an email. Yet, there is a huge void between the organizations with open positions, and the unemployed because of the power shift.  If asked, the proverbial why? My thoughts are that now, job seekers are very intentional about which organizations they lend their time, talents, and experience. Ultimately, the requirement for the right fit, lands on both the now hiring, and now seeking.  This means that companies must evaluate and reevaluate their positions and practices.  Has the organization demonstrated what\u2019s in their press release? Or, is the reality what employees post on social media?  Will the applicant see a valuable career opportunity or a short-term gig?  Finally, what is the long and short-term outcome anticipated by both parties?  The answers to these questions lend themselves to the discovery of the right fit.  Here are three things you can do now, to help your organization to attract right-fit talent, right from the start.<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 1. <\/b>Promote the many reasons why your organization is a great place to work<\/b><\/li>\n
  2. 2. <\/b>Share accomplishments of employees; promotion, degrees, certification<\/b><\/li>\n
  3. 3. <\/b>Connect with applicants on social media platforms in a meaningful way<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
