The new year’s just around the corner, but that new top talent you've been looking for seems to be a few blocks away. How are you going to find them next year, and once you do, how will you prove that you’re the right pick for their resume?

Apart from having a stellar recruitment strategy, you’ll also need a hiring process that filters and engages candidates at the same time. In this article, we’ll give you no less than eleven creative ideas to ramp up your recruitment and improve your hiring.

Why even get creative with your recruitment process?

Finding the right person for the job sounds like a practical, straightforward process—to anyone who isn't working in HR. 

Recruiting professionals know that the market nowadays calls—screams, even—for creativity. 

Here’s the deal: there’s a shortage of talent in a lot of industries. If you’re suffering from this, you won’t be the top pick for the best candidates.

4.3 million Americans, or rather 2.9% of the workforce, quit their jobs in August. Job openings rose to a historic 10.9 million, but hiring remained stagnant. 

The tables have turned: candidates often now have the luxury to judge the companies that are hiring.

They don't rush to that Easy Apply button anymore. From the job ad copy to the company’s website and their social media presence: they’ll have an opinion on it before you even get to their resume—and who can blame them?

Nobody can. As the market is changing, so should your recruitment and hiring process. Let’s dive into those eleven tips and find the perfect candidate for you, shall we?
