"There is no one magic bullet when it comes to finding talent. In partnership with my recruitment team, I utilize online recruiting methods through job boards such as Indeed and ZipRecruiter. I also utilize many of the LinkedIn premium features for candidate matching and messaging. Offline avenues include career fairs and referral programs. Recognizing that great talent typically knows great talent, I recently implemented an associate referral program at my company. The purpose of this program is to attract top talent by encouraging recommendations from existing employees. Through this program, we have now hired five exceptional new leaders within the organization. I think a referral program would work great for the niche positions that I would be recruiting here."
