When you post a job ad on major job boards, you’ll likely receive boatloads of job applications and while that can be a good thing, finding a quality applicant this way is like finding a four-leaf clover. Unless of course you have pre-screening questions built into your application process – but that’s a post for another time. To recruit good employees that you want to hire, you need to specifically target your ideal job candidate.
The Next Time You Have A Job Opening, Here Are 8 Great Places To Recruit Good Employees:

2. Social Media Recruiting – How’s your social following on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and YouTube? The people who follow your company do so for a reason. Share job openings with this social audience of potential job seekers who already “like” you.

4. Networking Events – When you attend a networking event spread the word about current job openings at your company. The next person you meet might just be your next hire.
5. Your Current Team – The people you work with know your company better than anyone. You hired them for a reason. Always check internally to see if the ideal candidate is already on your team.

7. Talent Pool – During the hiring process, you are faced with tough decisions – like choosing between two candidates. Instead of cutting off communications with the person you chose not to hire, keep them in your talent pool. When a job they are qualified for opens up, let them know they should apply.
