Struggling to hire? Your offer's probably unattractive. Most companies want to hire top talent. But, they: > Reel off a list of job requirements. > Bullet point every day-to-day responsibility. And expect 100 5* applicants to flood in. In reality, top candidates care about one thing: What's in it for them. You have to EARN a top candidate's time. So, if you want to pique their interest, don't start by telling them your expectations. First, tell them why you DESERVE their time. > What's particularly exciting about your company? > What makes you stand out against competitors? > What growth opportunities can you offer them? > Why should they consider making a move? Stop focusing on yourself. Start focusing on them. And let me know how it goes 😉 #Hiring #Startups #Advice

Post a role on WorkFolk and let the best passive candidates come to you... with a little help from their friends. 💙 Did you know? Passive candidates make up around 70% of the workforce! If you're solely relying on job boards, you'll miss out on passive candidates and limit your talent pool to just 30% of the workforce. #startups #founders #hiring #jobsearch #fractional

Stop letting "Nice to Have" qualifications limit your talent pool. (hidden barriers in job descriptions might be costing you top candidates.) Here’s the reality: Many job postings include “Nice to Have” qualifications that are, in reality, “Must Haves” in disguise. This tactic discourages skilled candidates who may not check every box but have the passion and potential to thrive. Here’s how to change that: a) Hire for passion and potential. Focus on a candidate's drive and their ability to grow, not just the list of qualifications on their resume. b) Build a diverse team. Diversity brings fresh perspectives, driving innovation and creativity. c) "Embrace the unconventional." Be open to candidates who think outside the box and approach problems in unique ways. If you only focus on experience, you might miss out on the passionate disruptors who can push your team forward. Talent is everywhere. Time to adjust those ATS filters. __ __ __ __ Enjoy?

It's a common misconception that passion and vision will convince top candidates to take on all the risks and work for minimal compensation. However, competitive salaries and clear career growth paths are essential for attracting and retaining the best talent. Overlooking these factors can lead to missed opportunities and a less motivated team. How can you avoid wrong hiring decisions?

🍀Are you building your business on luck or certainty?🥇 In the realm of hiring talent into your business, a reliance on "luck" often overshadows the pursuit of certainty. 📉Despite the current abundance of available candidates in the market, the overarching trend still leans towards a significant shortage of talented tech leaders and tech staff across all domains & disciplines. 🎯Let's face it: only a fraction—never more than 20%—of a particular sector is actively seeking job opportunities at any given time. To truly thrive, businesses must cast a wider net, targeting the remaining 80%—the passive candidates who won’t be actively job hunting but will be doing a great job for your competition, and could be an invaluable asset for you. ⏳Yes, it requires patience. Yes, it demands time. But the payoff? Undeniable. By tapping into this overlooked talent pool, you gain a competitive edge that transcends mere luck and puts the odds of success back in your corner. 📈And you’d be amazed the positive impact implementing such a process has on your own staff retention figures. 🔍Ready to broaden your candidate search and unlock hidden potential for your business? 🆘 Let me help you.
