Hiring top-tier candidates is as difficult today as it’s ever been. The post-COVID era, with its focus on work-life balance, has led organisations to rethink their employer branding strategies to attract top candidates. Recruitment specialist Richard Triggs says there are three key options to source candidates: referrals, advertising and headhunting.
When it comes to headhunting, LinkedIn has been a game-changer for rapid search of specific candidates or casting a wider net, which can also be effective, but may not deliver the results you’re looking for. For confidential or high-stakes positions, Richard insists that partnering with specialised headhunters delivers better results than relying solely on internal teams.
