6 Recruitment tips to help you find the best Candidates

1- The very best candidates are often happy where they are and need a little "wooing" before they'll consider another career opportunity. Remember a good Recruiter can discreetly start sounding out high quality candidates without compromising you.

2- Remember to ask what the Candidate WILL do, not what they CAN do. There is a big difference between the two.

3- Mass market blanket trawling attracts the wrong people, and wastes time and resources. Being very precise however, attracts an ideal group.

4- Don't be put off by job hoppers. Often they're highly talented and can give you say two years great value before moving on.

5- To find the ideal fit for your Company, analyse your best current employees. You'll notice a strong pattern of similar characteristics that tell you what types fit best with your culture.

6- Avoid assigning too many Recruiters to the search. Mixed and contradictory messages are often given out that puts off the ideal candidates and making your selection harder.
