Networking remains a cornerstone of successful recruitment strategies. Statistics reveal that 85% of jobs are filled through networking, and 70% of jobs are never published publicly.
To harness the power of networking:
1. Engage in Industry Events
Attend conferences, seminars, and workshops to connect with professionals in your field.
2. Utilize Online Platforms
Participate in online communities and forums related to your industry to identify potential candidates.
3. Encourage Employee Referrals
Implement referral programs, as referred candidates are often of higher quality and have higher retention rates.
