5 TECHNOLOGY HIRING HURDLES AND SOLUTIONS
Staffing firm Robert Half Technology offers tips to combat common recruiting obstacles
| We can’t meet our competitors’ salary offers. |
| Strengthen your salary offers with non-monetary perks, like flexible work schedules, telecommuting options or additional vacation time, to entice top talent to join your team. |
| We lose good candidates to a slow hiring process. |
| Before posting an opening, establish the job description, involve key decision makers, and follow necessary HR procedures. Keep to a tight timeline and update candidates throughout the process. |
| Job seekers don’t know we’re a great place to work. |
| Showcase your company culture in recruiting materials and on social media, emphasizing your organization’s mission, community outreach and benefits for employees. |
| We have difficulty competing with other local firms. |
| Do some research on your competition. What makes your organization unique and why should a job seeker decide to work for you? Highlight these strengths when recruiting tech professionals. |
| We don’t offer unique and attractive perks and benefits. |
| It may be time to update your compensation package. Check out the Robert Half Technology 2019 Salary Guide* for research on what benefits, perks and incentives professionals want today. |
