• The candidate pool is shrinking, and job competition is fiercer than ever! Understanding what motivates today’s candidates and tailoring your marketing efforts to meet those needs can make all the difference in your recruitment efforts, particularly if you’re located in a rural community and faced with unique challenges. Have you performed a virtual self-assessment to see how you measure up through a candidate lens? This session covered strategies for successfully attracting and finding candidates, including how to create an effective and compelling job ad and website; developing a sourcing plan; leveraging social media; and incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion in your marketing efforts.
