Many times your best candidate or a self-motivated colleague is the result of your creativity in recruitment and the way you attract talents even if you own a SME.

  1. Spend some time on figuring out how your specific recruitment should look like.

  2. Know who you are looking for. Personality is just as important as knowledge and expertise.

  3. Pick the best way to find the talent you are looking for. If the classical methods does not work for you anymore, use your creativity to find the best tools.
