@_sammyadjei: YOU’VE ADVERTISED THE SAME VACANCY SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL HAVEN’T FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON. WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TRY? ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ⭕One recruitment strategy that has worked very well for us is an Employee Referral Programme. 🌀It is simple: We allow our existing staff to Refer a suitable candidate. 🌀 If the person successfully goes through our recruitment process and is hired, you earn a referral commission. Why do I like this strategy?❓ Your employees already understand your ✅culture ✅ expectations ✅working environment And ✅realities of the job better than most outsiders. ⭕They also have networks you may never reach through your normal job adverts. 🔄But I have discovered something else interesting: ⌛Your employee referral programme can indirectly become an employee-engagement test. ⭕If your employees are genuinely happy working with you, many will confidently recommend the organisation to talented friends, former colleagues and relatives. 😌But if nobody wants to recommend your company to people they care about, despite an attractive referral incentive, management may need to pay attention. ⭕Sometimes a recruitment challenge may also be giving you useful information about the employee experience inside the organisation. ❗However, there is an important control: THE PERSON MAKING THE REFERRAL SHOULD NOT CONTROL THE RECRUITMENT DECISION. Otherwise, commission can create the wrong incentive. ✅Employees may start lobbying for their candidates ✅Compromising standards or ✅Putting pressure on those involved in recruitment simply because they want the referral payment. The referred candidate should therefore go through the same independent ✅assessment ✅interviews, ✅background checks ✅approval process as everyone else. 💰Reward the referral. Never reward influence over the recruitment decision. Employee referrals can ✅reduce recruitment costs ✅widen your talent pool and ✅help you reach good candidates who may not even be actively looking for jobs. ⭕If repeated adverts are not producing the right candidates, don’t only advertise harder. Change the channel through which you are searching for talent. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 📝📝 SAMMY ADJEI (MEDICAL LANDLORD) FOUNDER AND CVO OF GHANA'S 1ST MEDICAL REAL ESTATE COMPANY
