et Wa for mall uinee to Recruit Top
Talent
mall uinee make up more than 99 percent of United tate emploer rm,
meaning that mot people work at a compan that fall within thi categor.
A a mall uine owner, ou undertand the di erence etween ucce and failure
can e a imple a ringing the right talent on oard. Top notch talent generate top
notch reult. Jut the ame, mediocre talent deliver mediocre reult.
What doe all thi mean? In hort, ou need to know what it take to recruit the top
talent in our indutr. When ou take the right tep, when ou avoid common
mitake, it won’t e long efore ou have a tem in place for recruiting worker that
can help ou reach all our goal.
What i our trateg?
ome companie don’t have a trateg for recruiting top talent. Intead, the ue the
traditional approach of advertiing an open poition, collecting reume, interviewing
candidate, and making a nal deciion when the time come.
Thi trateg i not a e ective toda a it wa in the pat. There are two reaon for
thi:
Increaed competition
Availailit of technolog
If ou want to eat out our competition for the et talent, a traditional approach i not
our et option. There are adjutment ou can make, uch a implementing advanced
technolog, which allow ou to target the et talent and minimize the rik of hiring
the wrong peron.
ut what if ou don’t know what to do? What if ou have alwa ued the ame trateg
and are unure of how to make a change for the etter? A frutrated a ou ma e,
don’t let thi get ou down. A few change will have ou on the right track.

2. Here are ve of the et wa for mall uinee to recruit and attract top talent:
1. Ue ocial Media
In a 2013 tud, the ociet for Human Reource Management (HRM) urveed it
memer regarding their ue of ocial media for recruiting. The reult were
atonihing: 77 percent who reponded aid the ue ocial networking ervice to
recruit. ven more telling i the fact that thi numer tood at 56 percent in 2011 and a
mere 34 percent in 2008.
impl put, the ue of ocial media for recruiting i on the rie.
From Faceook to Intagram, ou are in poition to ue ocial media to recruit
candidate. Thi ma not e the onl wa ou eek applicant, ut there i no dening
the growth of ocial recruiting.
2. Pla Up the Culture
ome people like the idea of working at a ig compan, uch a Google, Apple, or
Faceook. There i nothing wrong with thi, a it can e a trul rewarding experience.
However, there i a ig di erence etween working at a huge corporation and a mall
uine.
mall uinee are more exile. The are ale to pivot without dela. And mot
importantl, emploee have the opportunit to have their voice heard from da one.
If ou want to recruit the et talent, create an attractive compan culture. Make it clear
during recruitment and interviewing that ever new hire i a ig part of the team. Don’t
pa up the opportunit to dicu advancement opportunitie.
There are de nite diadvantage of eing a mall uine. Converel, there are man
advantage. You need to pla up the angle that our compan culture i etter than the
et, even when compared to large emploer.
3. Technolog i our Friend

3. When ou think aout recruiting in the 1980’, for example, technolog doe not come
to mind. Intead, companie pent countle hour and thouand of dollar recruiting,
interviewing, and hiring new emploee.
Fat forward to 2015 and the uine world ha changed in man wa, including how
companie can ue technolog to nd the et talent.
In thi log pot, we dicu the ene t of video recruiting and interviewing. With thi
approach, our compan can:
ave time
ave mone
Improve e cienc during the interview proce
Conduct more than one tpe of interview
treamline the application and hiring proce
Pulih directl to free jo oard
Although ou ma not have a olid grap on how to ue recruiting oftware, it doen’t
take long to catch on. oftware provider, like Recruiteze, make it ea to get tarted.
Thi allow ou to hit the ground running. If ou would like to tr a free applicant

4. Protect our Local Area
Let’ face it: the igget companie have the udget, time, and manpower to recruit
talent from one ide of the gloe to the next. It i likel that ou aren’t in the ame
poition. And there i nothing wrong with that, a long a ou take thi approach: ou
have to protect our local area.
Here i how ou can do thi:
Make our compan known in the local area, uch a  attending trade how and
networking event.
Formulate relationhip with local college and univeritie.

4. Hire locall whenever poile, while alo making it known that thi i the
approach that ou take.
It goe without aing that ome area have more talent than other, ut if ou dig deep
enough ou will eventuall nd the people who are et uited for our compan.
5. Ak Current mploee for Referral
What etter wa to nd new worker than  aking our current workforce for
aitance? There i a good chance that ome of our ta ha come in contact with
other who would make a perfect addition to the compan.
If ou want to oot the numer of referral generated  our current emploee,
implement an incentive plan. For example, ou could o er to pa $500 for an referral
who i hired and ta with the compan for 90 da.
Tip: jut ecaue omeod refer a candidate doe not mean ou hould necearil
hire the peron. You till have to do our part in determining if the are the et t for
the compan.
Don’t top hort
You now have a clear idea of what it take for mall uinee to recruit top talent. It
ma not e ea. It ma not even e fun. ut once ou are on the right path, there i
nothing left to low ou down.
