Tips on How to Better Find Qualified Candidates for Your Business
The business world has been forced to make drastic changes over the past year in order to deal with the recent global pandemic, which has negatively affected office atmosphere, business growth, as well as the hiring process. Companies have needed to adapt to the work world around them in order to make the best of the business situation at hand.
While there has been accelerated growth for technical roles and companies, more STEM graduates are needed now more than ever to fill programming necessities. Amidst this surge in new job roles has been an inability for companies to find candidates that meet either company culture needs or qualification for their open roles.
In a recent survey by Paychex, it was found found that a staggering two-thirds of HR leaders say it’s difficult to find and hire quality candidates, up from 59 percent last year. The lack of viable talent is a result of two factors in companies’ searches; where 49% of HR leaders found that candidates were not fitting well into company culture, while 42% of HR leaders were unable to find candidates that were properly qualified for their unfilled roles.
In terms of program development jobs specifically, the candidate pool has become increasingly slim despite the growth in available jobs. The talent pool for software developers that are reliable is vastly shrinking, and it has become evident that employers are increasingly caught up with sifting through the labor pool for qualified individuals. This elongated process to find fit workers has become a time consuming hassle for companies with unfilled tech roles.
In order to combat the challenges of finding suitable candidates that gel nicely within the company while fulfilling qualification standards, specialized processes of talent acquisitions would help tremendously in finding and potentially acquiring new able-bodied workers. Some of these processes include:
Removing friction within the application process, allowing for more seamless application and hiring process
Becoming adaptive in understanding worker and candidate demographics in order to improve company to candidate interactions
Creating an appealing workplace for candidates, with desirable perks and riveting job descriptions
