There are many new and improved ways in which to recruit people to your company. This article discusses the do's and don'ts of the recruitment world.

1. Recruitment
is a practice that is learned over time and is as much an art as it is a science. It takes
a very skilled and well-rounded individual to be able to see and fish out the potential
of a possible new-hire.
Dani Monroe, author of “Untapped Talent: Unleashing the Power if the Hidden
Workforce” discusses some do’s and don’ts of recruiting in this article. The article
discusses how humans naturally let their minds fall into patterns that make everyday
situations “easier” on the mind. This can be a big problem when recruiting, if you
have a preconceived idea of the ideal candidate, you may overlook other candidates
that would have performed far better.
Dani Monroe discussed five critical steps to keep your strategy for recruitment fresh.
Keeping an open mind to talent takes more than just looking at someones resume.
Looking at a candidates twitter, facebook as well as linkedin are good tools to give a
vague impression of someone’s talents. But whats even more important is finding
the hidden talents that some candidates have. You have to be able to create
relationships within their profiles that convey someone’s real experiences and
knowledge.
Another critical factor is finding someone who comes from a position in which their
skills can be adapted to the position they are applying for. Also keeping an open
mind when looking over a resume is key. Looking for information that isn’t
necessarily on the persons resume, instead, ask questions that give you a deeper
sense of someone’s professional background and what keep them working as hard
as they do.
The overarching theme of this article is to keep an open mind. Staying in a routine
way of hiring is never a good idea in a constantly changing world and workplace.
Ideal candidates are out there, recruiters just need to take the time to look for the
people and skills that aren’t always written on a candidate's resume.
