Sourcing Candidates for Niche Roles? Here’s What Top Employers Do.
Saying that it’s challenging to find the perfect candidate for a niche role seems obvious. You may spend hours scrolling through applicants on job portals only to discover that none of the candidates truly meet your needs. Thankfully, there is a better way.
By partnering with iPlace, you can gain access to the specialized talent you need quickly and efficiently. If you’re looking for an exceptional candidate for a niche role, here’s how we can help you find the ideal person for the position.
Broad Sourcing Strategy
Typically, you can’t rely on conventional approaches to source candidates for niche roles. Options like free job boards and LinkedIn aren’t necessarily ideal or adequate when you need a highly specialized skillset for your team.
At iPlace, we understand the nuances of finding niche talent. That’s why we embrace a broad sourcing strategy featuring a wide range of resources, engagement with passive candidates, and our proprietary database featuring over 1.5 million candidates.
Additionally, we apply our expertise to concentrate on the right areas. Not all candidates rely on the same resources to find opportunities. By understanding where different types of job seekers turn during their search, we can meet them where they are, streamlining the recruitment process.
We can connect with top-tier professionals in any field with greater ease by being where the candidates are. This allows us to expedite the recruitment process and simultaneously reduce time-to-hire.
Exceptional Candidate Experience
Reaching top talent involves more than just locating candidates. Without exceptional candidate experience, in-demand professionals won’t complete the hiring process even if the position has potential.
Overall, around 60 percent of candidates have quit while completing an application if it’s too lengthy or complex. In those cases, the job seekers effectively remove themselves from contention before a hiring manager has a chance to connect.
Additionally, 75 percent of job seekers report a negative candidate experience because they did not hear back from an employer. Considering that 63 percent of applicants will reject a job offer due to a poor experience, a lack of communication is likely to cost a company talent.
When you need to fill niche roles, offering an exceptional candidate experience is essential. At iPlace, we focus on ensuring that every job seeker is treated with the utmost respect. We’ve created an effective but straightforward hiring process, one that includes ample communication and elevated engagement, ensuring that candidates are excited about moving through each step.
Thorough Vetting Processes
While having a broad sourcing strategy and providing a standout candidate experience are both musts, iPlace goes further to ensure you get access to the top-tier niche talent you need. Our thorough vetting processes allow us to confirm a job seeker’s skill set and evaluate them in other key areas, including culture fit.
Using a multi-faceted approach, we identify candidates with more than just the right core competencies; they also have the mindset to excel at your company. As a result, we offer higher quality matches the first time, ensuring you quickly get the best applicant for the position.
