It’s a simple fact: Award-winning cultures attract top talent. Getting recognized for providing an exceptional employee experience helps build your employer reputation.

External recruiters often charge 15-25% of a candidate's first-year salary. Adding some skin in the game for your employees can help improve the recruiting process. An added benefit is that retention and engagement rates are typically higher in workplaces where employees have deep connections and friendships.

Organizations are leveraging gaming, surveys, and online testing to assess a candidate's soft skills and role competencies. The use of video and meeting technology for interviews can save time and reduce costs, especially for preliminary interviews. Do you use technology to your advantage throughout the recruiting process?

To compete for top talent, prospective employees must know you exist. Relying on word-of-mouth promotion is not a sustainable talent strategy. A structured plan for recruitment advertising will keep your talent pipeline full. Have you crafted a plan that keeps you top-of-mind in the marketplace?
