How to Find Better Job Candidates

FACT: About 65% of recruiters say talent shortage is the biggest challenge in hiring, according to firm Jobvite.

1. Don’t wait until you need to hire to start your search. Keep your eyes peeled for quality prospects on LinkedIn and make it a habit to continually ask for referrals in social circles.

2. Create detailed job descriptions for postings. Explain exactly what you want in a candidate and be clear about what the job will entail.

3. Offer better benefits. Sure, a competitive salary matters, but perks like flexible scheduling and strong healthcare packages will attract the most talented people.
