What are organizations doing today to set themselves apart from the competition to retain and hire qualified employees? In today’s job market, it’s not enough to focus on education and experience alone. Hiring managers need to look beyond the typical candidate and start being creative, looking into passive candidates.
Here at KTE, we understand that if a candidate lacks motivation, responsibility, and empathy, then that a particular candidate will probably not be a good fit. For us to identify the right candidate, we will reach out to passive candidates, and determine if they are responsible, motivated, and have the right amount of empathy.
Is your organization too quick to hire to fill a job opening? If so, they will soon find out that their current nurses will be overworked, stressed, and unhappy that they end up working with ineffective colleagues. Not the best working environment. Below you will find three simple tips on how to attract passive candidates.
3 Simple Tips
Network
Find professional organizations that your potential candidate might be a member and start to meet different individuals. Find out where they work and always ask the critical question, “Who do you know that might be interested in a career move?” Then mention the position and the location. That person might know someone or might be a perfect passive candidate.
Healthcare Recruiter
Reach out to a professional healthcare recruiter. Healthcare recruiters are always having conversations with qualified candidates that are currently available or are looking for their next career move.
Linkedin
Start searching on Linkedin; you can start conversations with potentially interested candidates. If they are not currently looking for a change, they might know someone that does.
In summary, attracting passive candidates is not easy; however, it can prove to be productive and rewarding. Be creative, have lots of conversations, and partner with a Healthcare Recruiter to avoid hiring nightmares. If you need recruiting assistance, contact us today.
