Don't make this mistake when trying to hire the best candidates for your business... Too many companies rely solely on job boards and miss out on a sea of talented individuals who aren't actively job hunting but are open to great opportunities. With the right social ads campaign, you can reach passive job seekers who have the skills you need but aren't scouring job listings. This approach can significantly widen your talent pool.

I was bad at networking. ❌ In 2021, I was laid off from my full-time job and wanted to pivot out of sales. I sent 10+ LinkedIn connection requests daily and received 0 responses. That’s when I changed my strategy:  1. Used “Add a note” with my invitation 2. Included a specific note (e.g. complimented on experience or related to the person)  3. Once connected, I followed up by asking for advice to pivot to Talent Acquisition / HR In 2022, I had 28+ informational interviews ☕ with this new strategy. This led to referrals and interviews at my target companies.

🔍 Unlocking Solutions to Candidate Pain Points 🔍 Feeling overwhelmed by job hunting? You're not alone. Many face challenges that can make finding the right opportunity tough. But don't worry, there are ways to overcome these hurdles and find success in your job search. Here are some key pain points candidates often encounter, along with solutions to overcome them: 1️⃣ **Lack of Feedback:** Not receiving feedback after applying for a job can be frustrating. To overcome this, consider following up with hiring managers or recruiters to request feedback on your application or interview performance. Constructive feedback can help you identify areas for improvement and increase your chances of success in future opportunities. 2️⃣ **Limited Job Opportunities:** Finding the right job can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, especially in competitive industries. Expand your search by networking, attending industry events, and exploring niche job boards. Additionally, consider reaching out to recruiters who specialize in your field to uncover hidden job opportunities. 3️⃣ **Unclear Job Descriptions:** Vague or unclear job descriptions can make it difficult to determine if a role is the right fit for you. When reviewing job postings, look for key details such as responsibilities, qualifications, and company culture. Don't hesitate to reach out to the hiring manager or recruiter for clarification if needed. 4️⃣ **Lengthy Hiring Processes:** Waiting weeks or even months to hear back from potential employers can be disheartening. While you can't control the hiring timeline, you can proactively communicate with recruiters or hiring managers to stay informed about the status of your application. Additionally, use this time to continue networking and exploring other opportunities. 5️⃣ **Lack of Communication:** Feeling like your application has fallen into a black hole can be discouraging. Keep track of your applications and follow up with recruiters or hiring managers periodically to demonstrate your continued interest in the role. Building rapport with recruiters can also help keep #JobSearchTips #CareerAdvice #CandidateExperience

"Paul I'm not getting any responses from the roles I have applied for, and can't understand why, can you help me?!" For all candidates that need to hear this... Applying for roles is only PART of the job hunting/searching strategy! 🙂 For all candidates you should be thinking about other ways that you can unofficially apply for roles. Personally, when I was job hunting last year and my strategy was as follows... Step 1 - Find suitable role - something that interested and excited me. Step 2 - Apply for role. Step 3 - Connect with Recruiters in Company and let them know my interested in said role and company. Step 4 - Connect and Follow Company, and also declare interest in joining company. (This can be done in the 'About' section on the company page 😉 ) Step 5 - Engage on BOTH recruiters and Company LinkedIn posts. (This will help increase your visibility in the company network) Step 6 - Leverage LinkedIn network to build contacts in Company. (If a contact has a 1st connection with someone in the company, ask for an introduction - this shows drive and initiative) Step 7 - Arrange a call with a member of the Recruitment or Talent Acquisition team - it doesn't have to be for a live role. (Networking is essential in building relationships) Step 8 - Follow up with Recruiter or Company for updates or feedback on Application. (If you need to Message, InMail or Email them weekly, do some - communication and feedback is essential in recruitment process) Step 9 - Rinse and Repeat for all applications and Companies of interest. Note - this is my own strategy, and not something that will work for everyone, or something that everyone will want to follow themselves!) For all the Candidate and Recruiters that see this post, is there anything different that you would do? Or perhaps something more that you would add into the mix? I'm always keen to hear the others opinions, inputs and insights 🙂 #LetsMakeRecruitmentGreatAgain #RecruitmentEducation #JobHuntingStrategy #PersonalDevelopment #CareerDevelopment
