Hiring? Attract Quality Candidates to Your Company

You are hiring. What’s more, is that a lot of Reno-based companies are hiring right now so the competition to find quality candidates is fierce. To put it into perspective, the unemployment rate in the greater Reno-Sparks area is 2.9% compared to 4.4% in the U.S. Business growth is over 10% and job growth is over 5%. That means, hiring companies need to step up their game to attract quality candidates and, understand that you may need to extend your reach and search for candidates outside of town.

Step Up Your Game

In many ways, attracting quality candidates to your company is about presenting your business so candidates will get excited at the prospect of working there. Hiring companies need to have clear job descriptions, job advertisements and communication strategies in place so that the process is easy and effortless.

Know Your Offerings & Present Them In the Best Light

In this tight job market, offering competitive compensation and benefits is always important, but there is much more to the art of positioning your company as the best choice for your top candidates.

The following features will enhance your company’s appeal:

Compensation and Benefits Package

  • Bonus or other incentive compensation
  • Health care and life insurance benefits
  • Tax-saving retirement plans (e.g., 401(k))
