Here are five ways to attract and hire high performers:

  1. Build a strong employer brand: Your employer brand is your organization’s reputation as an employer. High performers are often attracted to companies with strong brands and positive image. Ensure that your organization has a strong online presence and that your values, culture, and mission are communicated through your job postings, website, and social media channels.
  2. Write clear job descriptions: High performers want to know what they’re signing up for. Be clear about the responsibilities and requirements of the job, and be specific about the skills and qualifications you’re looking for. This will help you attract candidates who are genuinely interested in the position and who have the right experience and skills.
  3. Offer competitive compensation and benefits: High performers are often motivated by more than just salary. Offering a comprehensive benefits package, flexible working hours, and opportunities for growth and development can help you stand out from other employers and attract top talent.
  4. Use targeted recruitment methods: High performers may not be actively looking for new opportunities, so you must be strategic in reaching out to them. Consider using targeted recruitment methods such as employee referrals, social media advertising, and attending industry events and job fairs.
  5. Use a rigorous selection process: The hiring process should be thorough and structured and involve multiple rounds of interviews and assessments. This will help you identify candidates who have the skills and experience you’re looking for and fit with your company culture and values. Be sure to include behavioural-based interview questions that allow candidates to demonstrate how they have used their skills in the past and how they would approach challenges in the new role.
