3 Secret Ways to Find Companies That Are Hiring

November 17, 2020 By A Plus Staffing

Most companies that are hiring don’t list their jobs on popular sites like Monster.com. In fact, you might want to do your best to avoid the positions you find on those sites. By the time a business is paying for a listing, umpteen qualified candidates have already turned it down. Whether salary or work environment is a problem, it’s important to do a double-take before you send a resume.

So, are you interested in the 80 percent of sought-after positions filled early on? If you are, follow these three tips for finding the secret jobs companies aren’t advertising:

1. Fine-tune your circle of influence
2. Keep abreast of industry developments
3. Work with a staffing service

When it comes to finding the choicest open positions possible, there really isn’t a secret formula. People encourage their friends to apply for good jobs. Company contacts know when they’re expanding or need to replace a key component. Similarly, they also have insider knowledge on the best places to reach the workers who have relevant skills. Hence, to get the job capable of meeting your financial and emotional needs, put yourself in the shoes of a current employee.

Let’s take a closer look at how you can do this with these three tips:

1. Fine-Tune Your Circle of Influence

First, put thought into the type of job you want to fill. And, consider the skills you want to put to use and the types of companies where you’d like to work. Once you’ve pinpointed your goal, look at your network. Who do you know? Who might they know? Send out an email stating the type of position you’re after, including examples of where you’d like to work. Put the finishing touch on your email by asking friends for referrals. If someone can refer you to a contact they have on LinkedIn, all the better. If not, feel free to reach out to hiring managers at those companies. In conclusion, it isn’t too pushy to introduce yourself and your skills.

2. Keep Abreast of Industry Developments

Secondly, as companies change and grow, employment opportunities change and grow also. Is a business of interest adding office space or promoting members of staff from roles you were born to fill? Reach out and let key employees know you’re interested. Not only will you make your intentions known, but you’ll also show you’re in tune with what’s happening in the business.

3. Work with a Staffing Service

And finally, there is a shortcut to finding those select positions no one is posting online, even when you don’t have contacts in an industry. Staffing services aren’t just for employers. Potential employees can contract with them to find the kind of jobs they’ve been looking for. These businesses already have networks in place and know how to evaluate and present your skills to ensure you find the best fit. So, what are you waiting for?
