00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 Welcome to your Morning Boost, your daily leadership advice to help you lead your school community.
00:00:05 --> 00:00:09 Brought to you by AWB Education and sponsored by Grundmeyer Leader Services,
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14 where together we are transforming education, one leader at a time.
00:00:14 --> 00:00:19 Now here's your host, Adam Bush. Good morning and a big happy Monday welcome
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 to you and welcome back to your Morning Boost.
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26 This week we have an HR theme to every episode, so tune in each day for a little
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29 tip or trick that's going to help you in the HR world portion of your position.
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 Today, we're going to dive into that crucial first step of building a strong
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 team, and that is attracting the best candidates.
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39 It's not enough to just post a job description and hope for the best.
00:00:42 --> 00:00:47 To truly stand out and draw on a diverse pool, including those much sought after
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 millennials, we need to think like a marketer.
00:00:50 --> 00:00:56 Consider where our ideal candidates spend their time online and offline? Are they on LinkedIn?
00:00:56 --> 00:01:01 Are they on industry-specific job boards or perhaps are even engaging with content
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 on platforms like Instagram or TikTok?
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07 We want to tailor our language to resonate with different demographics,
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13 highlight our company's culture, opportunities for growth, and our commitment to inclusion.
00:01:13 --> 00:01:18 As Harvard Business Review noted, to attract a truly diverse pool of candidates,
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22 companies must actively work to dismantle systematic biases in their recruitment
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27 processes and ensure their employer branding reflects an inclusive environment.
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31 Think beyond the traditional job posting. Get creative.
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36 Do some video snippets showcasing your team, maybe some employee testimonials,
00:01:36 --> 00:01:39 or even virtual tours of the workplace.
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44 By strategically advertising our positions, we can significantly increase our
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49 chances of landing those top-tier candidates who will drive our organization forward.
00:01:53 --> 00:01:57 That's it for Monday's edition of Your Morning Boost, a quick little jumpstart
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 to get those great candidates into your door.
