How are you coping with finding new talent for your business? If you’re like most employers, it’s tough out there, isn’t it? But here are a few tips that could get you moving in the right direction:

• Cast the net. Interview when you don’t have a vacancy, making clear to applicants that you’re building a talent pipeline.
• Stay in touch with good candidates who were second-place in a recent recruitment.
• Market yourself. Strengthening your business image locally will make you more attractive to potential hires.
• Show promise. Let job applicants see a clear path to career progress. They’ll be more likely to choose you.
• Ask your current employees for referrals. Word of mouth works!
