Are you using the full potential of your employees to be brand ambassadors? Your happy employees are your greatest asset and they may make the difference when you’re looking to hire the best and the brightest to add to your team. Here are a few ways you can use your current team to attract new employees.
- Employee testimonials. We usually think about testimonials in regards to customers and clients but having the insider look at your company from an employee perspective can be valuable when you’re hiring. Ask your star employees to provide a short paragraph about what it is like to work for your organization and place these on your website’s career page.
- Peer to peer interviews. When you’re interviewing new candidates you usually have them meet with other managers. Another great pre-screening technique is to have them meet with individuals who will work on their same level in the organization. Find out what your current employees think of the potential candidates. They can provide insight you may not have noticed.
- Brand ambassadors on social media. Many companies are concerned about what their employees are posting on social media. However, if you allow your employees to use their social media to become brand ambassadors you may be able to control the message. Provide guidelines for mentioning the company on Facebook or Twitter.
- Referral programs. Of course, there is nothing better than the tried and true referral program. Good people refer good people. When you have a new position in your company allow your current team to refer people they know. They may have former coworkers they think will be an excellent fit.
