How to get more candidates with Homerun
As a small business, you likely haven’t made a name for yourself (yet), so job seekers aren’t seeking you out. You have to put in some effort to get on their radar. Luckily there are tons of ways to do that with a combo of Homerun features, employer branding best practices and some good ol’ creativity.
What to do before you publish your job
There are a number of tweaks you can make to your job post and apply form that will increase your chances of getting candidates. Follow these steps before sending your job post out into the world!
What to do after you publish your job
Merely posting your job online is not enough to attract talent. You have to take steps to get eyes on your job post. There are two groups you’ll want to reach with your job post.
- Active job seekers who you’ll reach by making sure your job post is visible in all the places people look for jobs.
- Passive job seekers who you’ll reach by sourcing.
We’ve got checklists for both. 👇
Sourcing candidates and sending cold messages
If candidates are not coming to you, then it’s time for you to take the first step yourself by sourcing passive job seekers. Sourcing means you look for candidates you think might be a good fit and ask them to apply for the job. This is very effective when done right, so here's how.
If you follow all these steps, you’ll have candidates rolling in fast! But we’d be remiss not to mention that there are some more things you can do that don’t quite fit in a checklist, but instead require some long-term commitment.
We’re talking about Employer Branding best practices that will ensure you appear on a candidate's radar even when you’re not hiring and that'll make them feel all warm and fuzzy about your company.
So before you go, check out some of these resources on Employer Branding and start thinking about how you can start some of these initiatives before your next hiring round:
