Seeking Successful Candidate/Employer "Matchmaking" Tips.

Employer & Candidate Connection group on www.linkedin.com

So many candidates, so few jobs, so little time! What are the most efficient ways to find the job or candidate you love in today's job market?

With so many people in transition or employed, but exploring opportunities, how do employers readily and efficiently find a robust candidate pool? With compressed workforces and an ever-expanding pool of available candidates, today's employers needing to fill jobs are more challenged than ever. They, themselves must do more with less including writing and posting jobs, sifting through hundreds of resumes, coordinating schedules and conducting interviews, and successfully negotiating good hires. How do they do this while balancing their "normal" workloads without running themselves ragged or running the risk of losing good candidates in the process who are in the pipeline? Conversely, how do today's candidates get the attention of employers who genuinely need the talent they bring to bear, without coming across as a nuisance, desperate, or worse? In my many years of HR work, I've been faced with this dilemma, but never has it been as pronounced as it is today. I'd like to hear your ideas, and if you're interested, I'd like to provide you with a few of my own! Let's see what those of you out there have done to successfully combat this issue?
