Create Your "Most-Wanted" List
By Dr. John Sullivan
One of the most frequent questions that I get is, "What are the best practices in recruiting?" Well, one best practice that always appears near the top of my list is developing a "most-wanted list."
Unfortunately, this approach is rare in the corporate world, where 100 percent of all hiring is "immediate need hiring." What this means is that when a manager has a sudden opening as a result of new budget or turnover, they go to Sourcing and ask for help in quickly filling their immediate need. But what if your recruiting target was Stephen Curry or someone of that caliber? You would be relying on what I call "coincidence hiring" in order to capture him. It's called coincidence hiring because it would be a pure coincidence for Mr. Curry to be available during that precise window of time when you have a job opening available for him.
