When I work with small organizations, I target candidates at Fortune 1000 companies. The family atmosphere and opportunity to have a broader role is very appealing to those who feel like they are merely a number in their current company.<br />

I've found the companies that have a well promoted internal referral program can have success in finding quality new employees. Candidates from this source tend to be pre-qualified on both sides, and often are well matched to the culture of the company, because of the connection to the existing employee.<br />
<br />
Make sure you hand out the "rewards" in view of the whole company, and make a big deal out of the ceremony... the more powerful the "thanks", the more excited the employees will be to…

Kathie, I spoke at a conference of retail franchisers a while back on this very subject -- they have to keep fully staffed, but the average franchisee only recruits once or twice a year due to unusually low turnover. Great problem to have, btw -- but infrequent hiring puts a lot of pressure on speed to hire when you need it.<br />
<br />
We looked at interim strategies they could use not to hire, but to keep the earlier pipeline active at specfic stages of the process. In the world of this franchise group,…
Kathie, I spoke at a conference of retail franchisers a while back on this very subject -- they have to keep fully staffed, but the average franchisee only recruits once or twice a year due to unusually low turnover. Great problem to have, btw -- but infrequent hiring puts a lot of pressure on speed to hire when you need it.<br />
<br />
We looked at interim strategies they could use not to hire, but to keep the earlier pipeline active at specfic stages of the process. In the world of this franchise group, it meant building three distinct groups of prospects: new contacts (walk-ins, referrals), those who could pass an initial math test, and a "hot list" of candidates who also had "people skills." They determined that these groups had a ratio of 24:12:3 -- meaning that they understood it took 24 new contacts to find 12 that could pass the math test, to result in 3 that had also great customer service skills.<br />
<br />
They then divided up responsibility for managing each of those groups appropriately: the front line employees were given incentives to work on finding new contacts and referrals primarily through contact with their constant flow of customers; the assistant managers helped, and kept an eye on the math test group; the manager thought of ways to keep the hotlist candidates engaged and interested in the possibility of working for the company, and essentially built good relationships with them so that when a hire was needed -- it was ready and waiting.<br />
<br />
This may not fit your model exactly, but it was a solution that worked well for this group. I also have something called "30 Tips for Meeting High Performance Employees" that I'm happy to share with you as well -- let me know if you would like a copy.<br />
