Keep the Big Picture in Mind
What do we mean?Know your company’s overall mission and talent strategy
So when you’re filling a position, you can ask yourself:Does this potential candidate have the skills, character and experience to drive my organization’s growth?
If you can’t answer yes, it’s time to keep looking.

What do we mean?A candidate with the right skills is not enough to qualify them as the right hire. You have to go beyond the surface. Find talent that’s both fit for the job AND a match for the company

First - Define your best employees
What are they passionate about? Where did they come from? What are their life experiences?
Then - Find the best medium to reach those types of candidates (whether that means a career site, job boards, college recruiting, etc.)
Now - Create interview questions based on culture rather than skill

Think Differently about Job Ads
What do we mean?When possible, emphasize the job need rather than the job skills.
This will enhance your talent community by inviting a more diverse group of candidates to apply—without sacrificing the quality of hire.
If a candidate has the ability to perform the job, they probably have the skills (or the ability to learn).
