Recruiting for Those Hard-to-Fill Positions

While traditional recruiting strategies continue to evolve over time and new sources of hire are developed each year, some roles take an unconventional approach in order attract top talent. The demand for certain candidates, like developers who code a specific language, continues to increase as supply goes down. Post and pray is no longer a viable option, job boards are being sold off and are no longer effective for specific requisitions, and recruiters are being asked to do more and more daily. So what do recruiters who are overworked, sometimes underpaid, and under constant pressure to fill reqs do? They start thinking outside the box.
