Week 3 EOC: Networking and External Sources

The best way to find people to hire is through current employees in a referral-based system. Your current employees know how the company is run and can convey these standards to their colleagues and fellow associates. In your favor, you can find out their work ethic through current employees and get an idea of the person’s reputation amongst their peers.

Colleges are excellent places as recruiting sources because of the range of people that are looking to better their future and find employment in the fields that they are studying. Another way to find qualified representatives would be to hold or attend open job fairs. The benefit in recruiting at job fairs is that all interested parties come to you and can get an idea of the requirements of the job while you get to engage in a face-to-face informal interview with these new potential candidates. Your company gets a chance to get across its professionalism network with other companies that are recruiting. The people seeking employment get to make their first impression with brand representatives while getting a chance to stand out and show what they can offer. The opportunity for them to shine is greater than placing their resume on online and hoping for the best.

Another place that I would look would be the Chamber of Commerce. This is a great place to find people that are already experienced in your field and have achieved a certain level of successes. You can also check with the chamber of commerce to see if they have been recognized for work they have done as individuals or for their previous employers.
