Hiring Right: Best Places to Find the Right Candidate for the Job

Recruiting new employees is one of the hardest tasks any manager is faced with, but don't sweat it. We know exactly how to help you find the best candidates for the job. Here are five of the best places to find new employees for your company. 

LinkedIn
It might seem like an obvious choice, but LinkedIn is the premier professional networking site. You can browse profiles of people from all over the world, post job listings in your area, and view credentials without having to skim through another snooze-worthy resume. If you don't have one already, set up a company profile and post a job listing today. Don't be surprised when hundreds of candidates come through, and don't hesitate to search for people based off their skills and approach them directly!

Job Boards
Nearly every industry has a job board somewhere online. Looking for a qualified remote software developer? Try remoteok.io. Although the majority of job listings revolve around tech careers and web development, there are also non-tech job listing options to help you find that content writer or customer sales rep you've been seeking. Check the industry ins and outs to see places you might be missing in your search.

Use Software
There are programs nowadays that can take away all the hard work and present you with the best job candidates on the market. BambooHR is one such Onboarding program that posts to job boards, filters, and rates candidates according to your own criteria and leaves comments to arrange collaborations. You know your time is valuable, and searching for employees can take huge chunks of your schedule. With a software program like this, you'll be able to give 100 percent at your job while still finding new faces to add to the team.

Twitter
Twitter isn't just an amazing social media marketing platform. By searching hashtags and keywords, you can find the profiles of thousands of people, many of whom are incredibly skilled in what they do and would make great employees. It may be harder to narrow down the search if you're looking to hire locally, but recruiters who want to hire remote employees will find a treasure trove on Twitter.

Use Your Employees
The people you've already given the seal of approval to know what it takes to land the job and thrive in your office. They're also less likely to recommend anyone who is going to make their workload more difficult. If you ask your employees for recommendations and include incentives such as a pay rise if you hire their suggestion and they pass a trial period, you're bound to get some incredible leads. 

Recap
There are plenty of ways to find employees today beside regular job listings. Social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter are bountiful resources for job recruiters, and you can even rely on a software like BambooHR to find new employees based of criteria you choose to weed out anyone who doesn't fit the job description. 
Turning the search inwards and recruiting the help of your employees is another great way to find new hires, since the people you've added to the team personally are ones you already trust. Because they know the exact job requirements and skills needed to succeed in the office place, they'll be more likely to nominate candidates who will step up to the plate and be able to make their own workloads easier.
The best approach to hire new clients is to narrow down your job requirements to several major bullet points. Doing so broadens your candidate pool and allows you to meet new people who can offer unexpected, innovative and unique approaches to the job.
