How To Attract Quality Employees To Your Company
Finding creative, hardworking talent can be challenging whether you’re a small or large corporation. Companies across the globe are determined to attract top-rated candidates who have the skills and experience to further the company and its goals. When competing against other organisations for the best of the best, companies need to establish what it is that motivate professionals to sway one way or the other. Read below for tips on how to up your odds of appealing (as well as retaining) the people you need on your team.
Creative perks
When wanting to attract quality employees, it’s good to begin by thinking about the perks your business can offer. To employees, perks are a major deciding factor of whether they’ll accept a job opportunity or not. According to business professionals, a flexible benefits plan is a MUST. People want a customizable plan that caters to their needs and wants (such as an increased pension, childcare vouchers, etc.), but if you truly want to blow them away start offering them more creative perks. Take a company trip together or give them a membership to a gym or spa. Giving fun entertainment incentives allows your employees the time to play, this can boost morale and strengthen relationships among team members.
Company lifestyle
The atmosphere of a company can make or break it for potential hires. It’s important to have work-life balance in the office. Companies like Apple and Google have nailed this down by making their work environment inspiring and innovating. This can also be done if you live near attractive sites such as beaches, golf courses, and skiing or hiking trails. It’ll be important to address these key features when recruiting new staff members to show them what you have to offer.
Opportunities to move upward
If you’re looking to hire impressive candidates who are career-focused, it shouldn’t be a surprise that they would like to move up eventually. Employees like to know that there are opportunities to take on greater responsibility and to progress within a company. They want to see that promotion is an option for future development and advancement within their careers. It’s important to express to potential employees what their future possibilities are in the company, whether it’s a stepping stone position or a chance to improve and learn new skills.
Flexible work schedules
Flexibility is a significant factor an employee looks for in a job. The opportunity to work flexibly is a major motivator for someone to join a company’s team. It’s even been said that people are willing to make less for a more flexible work schedule. People like having the option of customisable hours such as split shifts or getting to work from home, especially those with families. This helps employees attain a healthier work/life balance. Happier employees equal better, more productive work.
Broaden your advertising
Nowadays, you need to do a little more than just placing an advertisement online. If you want to increase your chances of finding the best candidates, it’s a good idea to start putting announcements on job boards and websites. To go even further, hire a recruitment agency. Applying a middleman in the mix can improve your odds of finding talented professionals. Recruiters have many connections and can speak on behalf of both parties.
