Here is one of the strategies that I thought was very cool. It also gets your creative juices flowing. Your hiring managers will be excited to co-create these strategies with you! That leads to lots of good outcomes.

Creative Challenges Identify Hidden Candidates

When your recruiting challenge is finding candidates with niche skills, normal recruiting strategies aren’t as effective for identifying qualified candidates as creative challenges.

When Silicon Valley start-up Quixey needed qualified engineers, they used a monthly challenge offering cash prizes for winners. Engineers are given three practice problems to solve, and if they get them right, they are given a 60-second computer programming problem to solve.

Google does something similar, only with billboards, putting a tricky mathematical puzzle up for all to see. Anyone who solves the billboard puzzle will unlock a URL with another puzzle, which if solved, leads to an offer to apply. SeatGeek does something even more innovative for their recruiting initiatives: they invite engineers to hack into their website to submit their resumes.

Put your creative challenges where your ideal candidates will see them, including billboards, websites, as a wrap on company cars – then enjoy the flow of quality qualified candidates they generate.
