Episode 9

Where To Find Quality Job Candidates

I’m sharing my go-to tips for what I've done to fill jobs in the past, what I think we need to do going forward, and what I do whenever I have a client that has hired me to find the perfect candidate. There are two ways to fill the job: you need to go and find the talent, or they find you and they learn about your open job. Based on my 15 years of experience with recruiting, I’ve come up with three ways that you can typically find candidates without them seeing a job posting and directly applying for your job. I also touch on how to navigate and maximize your job post on job boards and share creative ways to find qualified candidates to join your team. 

IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT:

  • How I use Google, LinkedIn, and social media to contact people 
  • My two rules about poaching people from companies 
  • How to handle negative responses from potential candidates 
  • When to pay for a sponsored job post on LinkedIn versus roles that aren’t worth it 
  • What it’s like to work with a recruiter 
  • Why you need to include employer branding into all of your marketing efforts

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
