WOODSTOCK, GA – For HME providers looking to attract the best talent, it’s not enough to place an ad in the help wanted section of the local newspaper. Even some familiar online tools are losing their punch.
According to Adam Burkhart (pictured), new business coordinator at HealthJobsNationwide.com, real-time leads, e-mail marketing, banner adds, and technologically advanced resume databases with faceted search functionality for more than 600,000 resumes are more effective.
In the fight to get the best candidates, Burkhart advises companies to capitalize on every advantage. “Make lifestyle part of your employee recruitment offer,” he says. “Many employees are just as concerned about quality of life as they are about the amount of money a position offers. If you’re fortunate enough to be in an area with great skiing, beaches, extensive hiking/biking trails, excellent golf courses, or other attractive features, be sure to play them up when you’re trying to attract employees.”
Promise big, but not too big. “Avoid over embellishment and over committing,” warns Burkhart. “And remember with networking it’s not always who you know, but who knows you.”
