Five Secrets Of Companies That Build Great Teams

From an article featured on Techcrunch back in the middle of June, here are five secrets that companies use to build great teams.

1. Aggressively seek out passive candidates.

“…they (talent war winners) know that they have to go find top talent, not the other way around.”

2. Obsess about the “top of the funnel”.

“…recruiting is a numbers game and the most important number just might be the number of qualified people at the start of their pipeline.”

3. Give candidates a strong reason to engage with the company.

“The company’s jobs page is an obvious one but these companies also pay attention to the overall candidate experience.”

4. Obsessed with metrics.

“They track everything…and use the metrics to continually improve their processes and better allocate resources.”

5. Make recruiting their top priority

“They invest in the right tools and make sure their teams are fully staffed for the challenge in front of them. Recruiting high-quality candidates is not a “nice to have” for them. It’s an absolute must have.”
