Recruitment Tactics that Work
“Understand my skills and
background and fit the job to me,
rather than the other way around.”
“Tell me about the
good and bad of your
company. Why do I want to work
there over some other company?”
“Be transparent about
work culture and
company values.”

Recruitment Tactics that Work
“Ask for me to contact my friends if
I’m not personally interested in a
position…it feels like you are
asking me to do your job for you.”
“Omit the salary
package. How am I
supposed to know
whether the job is worth
considering?”
“Send a generic
mass-­email.
It goes right to
the trash.”
