It is easy to find advice on how to stand out as a potential candidate. Look no further than LinkedIn. But what if you are the hiring manager? How do you go about attracting the best talent?
Sell the role with an outstanding job description – don’t just stick to the path well-trodden – we all want to know what the salary is but what else have you got for them?
Streamline your recruitment process – slick, personable, and not long-winded interview after long winded interview
Invite the candidates to sell themselves in a variety of ways – it does not just have to be a cover letter
Always offer career progression and if possible, also offer equity – whilst money is not the be all and end all – stability for the future is always an incentive.
