Finding the cherries: how to hire in a high-supply market

1. Get out from behind your desk. When someone contacts you at the suggestion of someone you know, go and meet with this person.
2. Stop hiring for today’s problem - think longer-term, and cultivate candidates that can help you tackle tomorrow’s challenges.
3. Think “Team Fit and Suitability” instead of “Experience and Eligibility”. If that sounds cryptic - then you may want to download the White Paper “Making Better Matches" from this website
4. Be prepared to act quickly, and don’t nickle-and-dime really good candidates. They know what they’re worth, and they know why you want them.

If you want to discuss - and adjust - your recruitment strategies, call me 1-604-317-2234. I’d be delighted to ask you some deceptively innocent questions.
