The Skills Shortage (deep breath!!)…what are recruiters doing differently? I have found the candidate conversations are very different, it’s not about career development or even money…it’s about empowering them to give something a chance. My advertising channels are the same, maybe more emphasis on cv searching. But fundamentally it is a tough market. So has anyone tried a different approach to find talent in the current market?

It’s such an interesting topic and I think the disruption is encouraging us to think differently- ie focus on employer brand, look into other avenues of recruiting, internal workforce planning, and even our expectations on time to fill.

Avenues would include ATS, different job boards, other industry relevant sourcing channels, internal network. Nothing new but I think just looking harder into existing channels.

Keen to hear what other people think

Time to fill is now huge, that has been a big change. I work agency side so a lot of effort has gone into educating clients on this. Some get it and are really good. Others don’t and they are a nightmare…but as much as they stamp their feet or try other agencies…it does change anything.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
