Offsite Recruiting — Boldly Recruit Where Your Targets Hang Out

If you’re having difficulty attracting applicants, consider adding an off-site recruiting component to your existing recruiting strategy. The standard corporate recruiting model is a “come to us” approach. Meaning that if you want a job at our firm, you must be willing to take time out of your busy day to find out about and then apply to our firm. In direct contrast, under the “go to them” off-site alternative, corporate recruiters physically go to where the firm’s recruiting targets “hang out.” This offsite model often involves using a mobile recruiting van, recruiting at the local mall, recruiting at public events, or recruiting near where your targets use commuter transit.
