'Recruiting doesn’t end once the person is hired. Companies will go to great lengths to hire top talent, yet many see attrition problems down the road. Nobody is going to stay in one position forever, but the actions of the company can mean the difference between keeping an employee for the long haul and driving him or her to the competition. “The mistakes do start at the recruiting process,” says John Ricco , partner in recruiting firm The Atlantic Group.

'“ Employee engagement ” is a hot buzzword these days. It refers to employees who are more than just “satisfied” with their jobs—they are energized, excited and passionate about their jobs and the company they work for.

'Chances are, the top talent that you’d like to recruit is “allergic” to your candidate experience. Over time, this missing talent has cost you a fortune in lost creativity and performance. Why? Because many current applicant tracking systems are outdated, and they don’t address the issues and content that the best candidates require. So it’s important to look for ways to refresh your hiring experience—and focus on the things that today’s top people want.

An era of uncertainty has arrived in recruiting. The unpredictability that exists in the labor market can make it difficult for employers to know how they should respond in this environment. Despite the turbulence, recruiting professionals should be encouraged by recent trends.

'It’s funny the way counterintuitive measures so often prove to be the best solution. But then again, this has been true for centuries. “All behaviors contain their opposites,” said Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching around 6th century BC, and you should “learn to see things backwards, inside out and upside down.”. That said, in the 21st century, and arguably in centuries before ours, counterintuitive measures have been deemed irresponsible by those who undertake them and then fail, and genius by those who

Headhunting is the process of finding people who are not overtly looking for a job. Your starting point is to know what you’re hunting and as much as possible about its habitat.
