Your company will attract the right people when:
Its message and company culture are effectively communicated
It has health benefits, 401(k) and 10 days PTO
Your company is a name-brand company
YOU'RE CORRECT!
A lot of companies offer the same benefits. Name brands are a highlight to some job-seekers, but not all. The best way to attract the right people for your company is by effectively communicating your company’s message and culture. Highlight your company values, add photos of your current employees on your website, be transparent about the person you’re looking for. You’ll narrow down the prospective employee pool to the exact people you want.
