The ADHD Approach to Recruitment: How to Secure the Best Talent, Fast!
Feeling like you need a large coffee just to keep up with the fast-paced property job market?
You're not alone! Embracing the ADHD approach to recruitment can help you stay agile, responsive, and always one step ahead. Let’s explore how to think fast, act faster, and secure the best talent before anyone else.
Stay Agile
The job market is a whirlwind right now, and you need to be nimble to keep up. Here’s how:
Adapt Quickly: Don’t be afraid to pivot your strategies. If a particular approach isn’t working, switch gears. The faster you can adapt, the better.
Stay Informed: Keep your finger on the pulse of industry trends. Subscribe to newsletters, follow industry leaders on social media, and attend webinars to stay updated.
Embrace Technology: Use recruitment software, tools and teams like ours that help streamline your process. Automation can save you time and reduce errors, letting you focus on the human side of hiring.
Partner With The Best: Have the right headhunters in your recruitment process, those who really ‘get’ you and your business. They’re the most agile part of your team as they’re at the coalface, familiar with the best candidates and even those who may be willing to consider new opportunities despite not actively searching.
Think Outside the Box
Traditional methods aren’t always the best. Get creative with your recruitment strategies:
Social Media Savvy: Use platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, and even TikTok to showcase your company culture and attract potential candidates.
Employee Referrals: Your current employees are gold mines for finding new talent. Offer incentives for referrals to encourage them to bring in people they know will be a great fit.
Industry Conferences or Events: Host or attend events that put you directly in front of top talent. These events can be fun, engaging, and highly effective.
Keep Candidates Engaged
In the ADHD world, attention spans can seem short. Keep candidates engaged throughout the recruitment process:
Frequent Updates: Don’t leave candidates hanging. Regularly update them on their application status and next steps. “Nothing further to update you with at the moment” is better than silence!
Personal Touch: Personalise your communication. A simple, heartfelt message can go a long way in making a candidate feel valued.
Speed is Key: The faster you move, the less chance candidates have to lose interest or get scooped up by competitors.
Build a Dynamic Team
Your recruitment process should reflect the energy and dynamism of your company:
Diverse Hiring Panels: Involve team members from different departments in the hiring process to get varied perspectives and ensure a good cultural fit.
Trials: Consider giving candidates a little test they can complete. It’s a great way to see how they perform in real-world scenarios and how they handle pressure.
Onboarding Blitz: Once you’ve made the hire, ensure your onboarding process is just as fast and engaging. A great start sets the tone for long-term success.
In the ever-changing job market, adopting an ADHD approach to recruitment can be your secret weapon. By staying agile, thinking creatively, and keeping candidates engaged, you’ll be able to attract and retain top talent. So, put on your thinking cap, channel that boundless energy, and get ready to revolutionise your recruitment strategy. Happy hiring!
