Remember When…? (…You couldn’t Find Qualified Applicants?)

Back in the Dark Ages, about 4 months ago (and for at least 3 years before that), the most common question we received from our clients was, “How can I attract more qualified applicants?”

Increasing employment rates (“full employment” by most consensus estimates) had dried up the applicant supply, and the unicorn, the “good employee” still out looking for a job was even more rare! As we all know, THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

We’ve all seen the skyrocketing graphs of the current unemployed; with about 165 million people in the workforce aged 15-65 years, the current rate of 25% or more means there are over 40 million people who would like to work, but can’t. Sure, large numbers of these are planning to go back to their old jobs when all this is over, but huge numbers of them are also open to new employment opportunities!

If your business is viable, despite the current circumstances, this presents an enormous opportunity! The people you will need for the future, your future superstars, are out there right now!

Consider creating a strategic plan to attract, identify and recruit them, now! Build a resource base of people who can carry your business into the future, even if you can’t put them to work immediately.

I can almost see the wheels turning in your heads, now: “How can I reach them?” “How can I capture their information, and easily find it when we can hire?” How can I determine if they are a good fit for the job?”

All of those questions are valid, and the answers to all of them reside in having a good toolset—tools to find, recruit, organize a pool of talent, and identify who will really fit our jobs and culture. We also offer tools for remote voice or video interviews, no-touch onboarding…the list can help at every turn.

We can help you with the process, and the tools, and we offer no-risk guarantees and demonstrations of our tools. Click the “schedule a call” button on our website…no obligation, no charge.

Change the path of your business by getting—and keeping—the best people!
