The best candidates aren't on job boards. They're in school. Hire from educational institutions and learning communities instead of Indeed and LinkedIn, where you'll find people actively building skills rather than passively job hunting.
If you want to find the people who are the best fit for your organization, we assume they're looking for jobs. So pretend I'm looking to hire a computer technician. The search that my best candidates will be making, we'd assume will be jobs for a computer technician. And you'll see the classic suspects ZipRecruiter and indeed LinkedIn and so forth. But the best candidates are not looking for jobs. They're looking for education. They're looking to get smarter in what they do. If and you'll see, here's all these educational institutions, these different groups that are gathering together, this is where the best candidates are. Great leaders know that great talent is always looking to get better. What they do. Great talent is looking for a great education. Go where people get educated, and that is where you're going to find the best talent to hire from.
