An effective employee recruitment strategy consists of two essential elements: (1) the identification of the talent sets you need; and (2) the process that attracts, screens, onboards, and retains the people who possess these talent sets.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Are the Benefits of Establishing an Employee Recruitment Strategy?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our research shows that a clearly defined employee recruitment strategy offers the following benefits and advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Clearly communicates the recruitment strategy: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Codifying your talent recruitment strategy makes it easier to communicate the details of the strategy to all staff involved in the recruitment process. When everyone is on the same page, your team can work in synergy to support the larger hiring needs of your organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Serves as an essential element of your growth strategy: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the size and profitability of your company grows, your staffing and recruitment requirements will expand with your organization. Therefore, every growth strategy should include a corresponding recruitment strategy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Documents and tests your assumptions: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first iteration of your recruitment strategy is a \u201cwork in progress\u201d that will require continuous adjustments. Codifying the strategy with your team allows you to standardize the implementation of your assumptions and test them for efficacy. As elements of the strategy prove or disprove themselves over time, you can document changes while keeping all team members on the same page.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Measures desired outcomes and troubleshoot solutions: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good recruitment strategy empowers you to measure your recruitment actions against desired outcomes, so you can troubleshoot solutions and improve the overall efficacy of the strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"cta-link\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/employer-branding-study-second-edition-executive-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the Employer Branding Study, Second Edition: Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><b>The Importance of Research-Based Recruitment Strategies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most common recruitment tactics \u2013 even some that you\u2019ll learn at HR conferences \u2013 do not have any foundation of evidence to prove that they work.

They could even be working against the hiring goals you\u2019ve set out to achieve. Through careful research \u2013 and critically examining how your hiring practices are performing \u2013 you can better identify the strategies that work and the ones that don&#8217;t. Over time, you can adjust your tactics to make sure they&#8217;re working based on reality as discovered through research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>9 Research-Proven Employee Recruitment Strategies That Work<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Hinge, we developed the following research-proven recruitment strategies from key insights in our <a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/employer-branding-study-second-edition-executive-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Employer Branding Study<\/a>:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>1.

Therefore, the first step toward developing a sound talent recruitment strategy is to understand the specific needs and priorities of the talent you&#8217;re targeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as marketing firms develop detailed customer profiles, your goal is to create a clear picture of your ideal job candidate and what they look for in an employer. Once you have that picture, you can adjust your recruitment strategies to attract these employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an example, our Employer Branding Study offers

For example, our research shows that job candidates predominantly want to work at companies with a culture that values honesty and respect \u2013 while also supporting the career growth of their employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45485\" style=\"width: 1502px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45485\" class=\"wp-image-45485 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1492\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM.png 1492w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-1024x382.png 1024w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-768x286.png 768w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-1000x373.png 1000w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-189x70.png 189w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-310x116.png 310w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-230x86.png 230w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-365x136.png 365w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-175x65.png 175w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-500x186.png 500w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-60x22.png 60w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Screen-Shot-2021-11-16-at-9.31.45-AM-490x183.png 490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1492px) 100vw, 1492px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-45485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> Employer Branding Study Executive Summary<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your firm need a culture tune-up? At Hinge, we\u2019ve found that the most effective way to tune up your culture is to focus on one priority instead of a dozen. By focusing your culture tune-up on a single, powerful element, you can master this element in a way that truly sets your workplace apart from other firms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, what if your company culture lacks a sense of warmth, compassion, and respect among team members? Managers can make it their mission to start remembering key details about the closest family members of their employees. By remembering the names, ages, and interests of family members, managers can weave these details into conversations to radically boost the sense of family, warmth, and trust throughout the organization.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After implementing a cultural tune-up like this, make sure you&#8217;re communicating the new values to job candidates. Weave &#8220;culture&#8221; into interviews by explaining why these values are important to your firm. Also, talk about your company culture in visible places \u2013 such as your website, social media pages, and marketing material \u2013 so job candidates see this information while researching your company.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>5. Showcase Your Expertise<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another top selection factor among job candidates is the degree of industry expertise your business possesses. Ultimately, your best recruits are looking for the same thing as your clients \u2013 an established, specialized company with strong industry expertise where they can work alongside respected and visible experts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_47986\" style=\"width: 303px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47986\" class=\"wp-image-47986 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-293x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-1024x1050.png 1024w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-768x788.png 768w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-1498x1536.png 1498w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-1000x1026.png 1000w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-189x194.png 189w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-310x318.png 310w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-230x236.png 230w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-133x136.png 133w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-73x75.png 73w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-500x513.png 500w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-1500x1538.png 1500w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large-490x503.png 490w, https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Book-VE-Revolution-cover-large.png 1950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> Hinge Marketing Library, The Visible Expert Revolution<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some easy ways to showcase your firm\u2019s industry expertise to new job candidates:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Showcase visible experts at your company: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouraging your expert team members to teach public classes, give presentations at conferences, and write blogs that potential job candidates will see.

Introduce Job Candidates to Your Team<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most companies only allow key decision-makers \u2013 like managers and HR personnel \u2013 to meet new job candidates during the recruitment phase. This is a mistake; job seekers want to know who they\u2019re going to work with before they accept your job offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During interviews, consider talking about individual team members, their achievements, and the common interests they share \u2013 and let new recruits meet their future co-workers ahead of time. When job seekers feel a connection with the team they&#8217;re going to work with, they\u2019ll feel a lot more comfortable accepting your offer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-link\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hingemarketing.com\/library\/article\/employer-branding-study-second-edition-executive-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download the Employer Branding Study, Second Edition: Executive Summary<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4><b>7. Leverage Social Media<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to our employer branding study, professional services job candidates use LinkedIn and other social media websites to evaluate their employers. Therefore, it\u2019s essential that your company\u2019s descriptions and posts on social media convey the right employer branding message to future job candidates. Check these sites carefully to ensure that they&#8217;re not just speaking to your customers, but also to your future employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Video posts are an excellent way to boost the quality of your social media presence. Consider posting videos of your employees talking about why they enjoy working with your company. This will help future job candidates feel closer and more comfortable with your organization and team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>8. Embrace the Niches\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most businesses offer a mix of general and extremely niche services to their industries. The general services your company offers might be your \u201cbread-and-butter,\u201d but your niche services are probably the most interesting and memorable that set your firm apart.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure to identify the niche services your company offers. Post job listings on niche job boards and communicate your most exciting niche specializations to new recruits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a personal injury law firm might generate most of its income from litigating workers\u2019 compensation claims. But it could be notorious for winning asbestos-related lawsuits, and maybe the nation\u2019s leading asbestos litigation expert is an employee at the firm. As an attractive niche that makes the company stand out among job candidates, the law firm may want to showcase this niche in job postings and interviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>9. Get the Professional Help You Need<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but not least, if you\u2019re having a hard time attracting new employees, you don\u2019t have to struggle alone. Consider hiring a professional researcher, recruiter, recruitment trainer, or headhunter to help with your recruitment efforts. Oftentimes players with niche expertise can help you reach specialized talent pools that a general recruiter is unfamiliar with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But don\u2019t limit your efforts to recruiting help only. Consider retaining a firm that can help you assess your employer brand and evaluate what cultural adjustments can have a major impact on your recruiting success. As more research comes out, you\u2019ll be able to zero in on the changes that will make the most sense for your firm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, remember that recruiting and retaining is very much a marketing endeavor, so don\u2019t forget to include your marketing team and pay special attention to your website. Arguably, the most important consideration is search engine optimization (SEO) so that you\u2019re found in the first place for the expertise that your firm already possesses. This also helps you understand how you\u2019re viewed as a workplace. If you don\u2019t have these specialized talents on board, retaining them can have a big impact on your ultimate success in winning the talent wars.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Retain Top Talent by Addressing Resignation Triggers<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equally important to attracting and hiring top talent is keeping your employees on staff. Understanding the circumstances that trigger resignations in today\u2019s marketplace, avoiding them, and preparing for them ahead of time is an excellent way to boost your employee retention figures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to our employer branding study, these are leading factors that trigger employee resignations in today&#8217;s marketplace:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your firm employs a large number of workers who have been in their positions for 3 to 4 years:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Professional staff members are most likely to leave between their third and fifth years of employment. Therefore, organizations should pay close attention to these employees. Talk to them, learn about their needs, and find out how you can make their work experiences better.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Your firm operates in a professional services industry: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Departing baby boomers, COVID-19 stresses, and increasing numbers of mergers and acquisitions have hit professional services jobs particularly hard.
