Obviously, recruiting is like fishing.

But, as any experienced fisher will tell you, fishing is more than having attractive bait. Sure, you can get lucky sometimes with just a worm, a stick, some string, and a bent safety pin, but with great tools at your disposal, why wouldn’t you use them? 

On today's episode of The Rebellious Recruiter with Daava Mills, we are talking about the tools you need to recruit effectively.

 

Daava's Rebellious Recruiting Notes:

  • Glossary for this episode: 
    • Chum - Networking and employment page
    • Bait - Job Ad
    • Line - The interview
    • Rod - The structure to your interview
    • Reel - The continued steps in the process
    • Farm - List of qualified people
    • Fish food - Ongoing communication
    • Hatchery - Your training ground
  • The recruiting is like fishing analogy:
    • One - what type of fish do you need?
    • Two - what type of environment do you find them in?
    • Three - what proven tools are out there to cath them?
    • Four - if you need them later, rather than sooner, what type of environment do you put them in so they are thriving when you are ready for them?

  • While I discuss how to recruit for specific positions like Administrative Professionals, Office Managers, Sales People, and Cost Accounts, the concepts here can be applied to all types of positions you are recruiting for once you have identified the characteristics of each.
