What Are The Best Sources For Finding Employees?

1. Referrals: Your existing employees are a great resource for getting reliable recommendations for new employees within their own network.


2. Online Job Listings: Be sure to do your research and post your listings on online job listing websites. People who are open to work are often checking for listings on Craigslist, LinkedIn Jobs, and Indeed.


3. Formerly Incarcerated: Depending on the work you do, you may find the perfect candidates through your local prison systems. Many prisons offer employment training and opportunities for formerly incarcerated individuals who are ready to get back into the workforce. Many states also offer tax credits for employers who hire formerly incarcerated individuals.


4. Religious Institutions: Research the churches, mosques and synagogues in your local area. Many religious institutions offer programs that help their community members find work opportunities.


5. Technical and Trade Schools: Depending on the line of work you do, you could find potential candidates through your local technical or trades schools. These candidates may already come with skills you'd otherwise have to train others on.


6. Other Businesses: You never know when your perfect job candidate could show up. When you're out shopping in a retail store, at a restaurant, or your Uber driver, you may find someone who'd be the perfect fit to offer a job to.
