Hiring is your opportunity to improve your team, add people with additional skills, and make a difference to the overall performance of your team. One aspect of the hiring process, especially in marketing, are social media background checks.
Job postings are not your only option. Quite the contrary, actually. While they do generate a large number of applications, the quality of qualified leads and real candidates is up for debate.
Succession planning plays a huge role in the longevity of any organization. A company’s ability to continuously keep the pipeline filled with talented individuals who move up and are promoted internally is an important success factor.

Recruiting is one of the most invaluable functions in your organization, and we’re not just saying this because we’re recruiters. It’s true. As they say, a company is only as good as its employees, and if you want to find the top talent in your industry, investing in recruiting is a great place to start.
