For every growing business, effective hiring is one of the keys to success.
The best advice I’ve ever received from a recruiter is “The birds of a feather rule”.
Find a person who is incredibly successful at the type of position you’re looking to fill.
See if you can get a person introduction to the individual.
Quickly let the individual know that you are looking for someone with his or her outstanding qualities.
You tell him or her that you know that they are very happy at their current position.
But you ask them if they know of any friends or colleagues who share their excellent skill set. And if they do, would ask that person if you could contact them. This is Birds Of A Feather Recruiting.
