A Panel Discussion about Job-Seekers and Employers

December 1, 2010

When it comes to finding and attracting the top talent, do you know what you should be doing?

There isn’t a single, limitless source for the top recruits. And getting them once you’ve pinpointed their location is yet another step in the process. More than anything else, it always helps to be open during the candidate interviews so everything comes to the forefront. It’s much better to have said everything and then some, than not have said enough. If you leave out an important detail during the recruitment period, your employee may hold onto this and it could negatively impact employee retention.

Whether you’re concerned with startup recruitment or the acquisition of the best employee for a specific position in a large enterprise, you’ll have to abide by the same rules, relatively speaking.

Additionally, if you’re an employee, be considerate when you’re contacting employers. Not everything is kosher, and some forms of contact such as Facebook may rule you out as a candidate right from the outset. Watch this video from the ERE Expo for more information on this topic.
