Learn simple ways to target candidates who don't fit your usual recruitment profile. 

The workforce has changed a lot within the past 10 years: The labor market is tightening, new jobs are emerging and employers are competing with one another for the best talent. While it’s easy to fall back on what you know, yesterday’s recruiting strategies won’t cut it in today’s evolving workforce. Job seekers have options, and employers need to be proactive when finding candidates. Given that greatness can be found in far-flung locations, perhaps boasting untraditional professional profiles, employers benefit from adopting cross-vertical recruiting strategies. Today, looking beyond your traditional talent pool to find your next great hire is important. Learn how targeting candidates who don't fit your usual recruitment profile may lead you to talent with the potential to transform your organization for the better.

Learning Objectives:

  • Gain critical insights from job-market data that will help you understand how the world of work is changing and demonstrating the need to hire outside your traditional talent pool.
  • Learn key tactics to identify candidates with core competencies and transferable skills.
  • Develop strategies and techniques for attracting and hiring unconventional candidates.
