Employers: How do you ensure you attract the best talent?
As an employer it can be a minefield when you have made the important decision, "I need to recruit a person for my team".
I would like to give you my take on this; I hope you find this advice useful.
My top tips
- Have a clear job specification written.
- Ensure you are clear on what your unique selling points are.
- What answers would you give to this interviewee question, "what differentiates your business to that of your competitors, form an employee's perspective?"
- Ensure you use the most efficient advertising mediums and use all resources at your disposal. Ensure if you are recruiting yourself, is it actually more cost effective than a recruitment agency, invariably often this will not be the case.
- Ensure you sell your business at the interview, it is a two way process.
- Have a clear and efficient recruitment process.

Re: Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
- I have seen this first hand and find It sad to see talent or gifted people waste their talents.
Others with less talent can improve themselves with though hard work. Hard work alone is not enough, where possible, coaching can help them recognize where their weakness may lie and through work hard improve on that aspect of their talent.
Discovery is often a necessary part being a talent. Wonder how many nights on the road covering 16 states, did i find great and entertaining talent singing at a local hangout
Re: Looking for partners to start career consulting business
- Hi Mike,
1) I'm moving this to the Looking For section
2) I think a good start would be to seek out local, potential competing or related organizations/companies in your area. Universities, job centres, head hunters, HR professionals...etc.
[quote:34k2gxrf]It will target professionals who want to start working at executives or higher level positions but lack necessary experience.[/quote:34k2gxrf]
And I think it'll definitely help if you align your products/services with your target customer group.
i.e. How do you plan to seek out this group? -------> Find the necessary talent that can accomplish this.
i.e. Providing internship --------> Training in-house? Or training outsourced? Again, seek talent that aligns with your objectives.
Break down what your business operations would be like, then seek the appropriate talent to cover that area. Of course, you don't want to give up too much equity by seeking out too many partners. Usually lower number of founders the more likely the start-up will survive.
Good luck
Keywords
- Keywords in your URL are good, but you also need to include these in headings on your pages. If you were going to search Google for this content, what words would you use? What common words would people use in a search engine if they wanted to find your site? You don't need to overdo the headers, just add a couple to each page and especially on your home page to attract search engines. I think someone also mentioned listing your site in directories. This is good and make sure to list your site under beauty - this should attract people that want to find you. Trading links with sites is good and especially sites that attract the people you want to bring onto your site.

Re: Best way to set your price on Ebay
- Personally, I believe that small and inexpensive items should all be set to "Buy it now", while higher margin items should just start at "$0.00" to attract the most bidders and highest price.
I've found that any auction with a high initial price will only attract 1 or 2 bidders, while those with "reserves" are rarely even met.
