3 of the Most Surprising Places to Find Your Next Superstar Employee.

 

Virtual Career Fairs.

With so much of today’s business being conducted online it is no surprise that virtual job fairs exist. They are perfect for non-traditional employees like those who are looking for work from home opportunities. They can also open up an entire population of job seekers from outside your geographical location. There are multiple online sources for creating and hosting your own online career fair. You can create online content that will attract and engage exactly the types of candidates your company is looking for.

Open House.

If you do want something more local but not as structured as a career fair consider hosting an open house. Invite the surrounding community to come see your facility and what you do. Provide snacks and a question and answer session. When people are there talk to them about what they do and see if you can connect with them in a professional way. You never know who might be a good fit for your organization and meeting someone in your community is a great way to source local talent.

Online Forums.

If face to face interaction isn’t up your alley you may want to consider hosting online forums. These web based discussions are open to anyone who wants to participate and encourages comments and ideas. Consider hosting a twitter discussion where participants can live tweet in response to a webinar or online discussion. Follow the people on Twitter who engage and open up the conversation for the future.
