Finding the most qualified candidates to become employees at your place of business doesn’t always come from traditional sources like classified ads and staffing agencies. There are a number of overlooked sources which can work well with employee recruiting, and provide good candidates as well, some of which are described below.

Candidates Who Are Introverts

Quiet candidates should not be dismissed or overlooked during interviews, even though extroverts may appear to be more enthusiastic and outgoing. A study conducted by the University of Pennsylvania discovered that introverted individuals often produce better outcomes than their extrovert rivals. To uncover these kinds of candidates, you might simply need to ask better questions.

Internal Candidates

It’s very common to do employee recruiting from external sources, but you might be doing your company a disservice by overlooking internal sources as well. The employees you already have on staff are members of your company because you saw potential in them at some point, and this potential should not be overlooked, especially when you have an opportunity for having internal candidates rise up the ladder.

Re-Hire Candidates

Some employers have the opinion that employee recruiting from rehired candidates is bad business, but in most cases, that’s simply not true. You should keep in mind that it will also be less expensive to hire former employees than it will to go through a whole recruiting and interviewing process. When employees leave your company, you should keep an open mind, and endeavor to maintain contact if possible.

Passive Candidates

Not all the good candidates are actively seeking new employment, and that means you may have to reach out to them in order to secure their services. It’s a good idea to network with leading professionals and keep their names on your list of talented individuals so that you can quickly contact them later, should the need arise.
