There\u2019s no time for a slowdown; rather, it\u2019s a perfect moment to reflect, revise and prepare for what\u2019s to come. Here are 12 holiday hiring hacks every talent acquisition pro can use to navigate the tech talent competition. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Start the Conversation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Sing along now: <em>As the first holiday hack, my hiring manager gave to me\u2026 <\/em>brand new job opening needs (okay, maybe that\u2019s not really tuneful). Alas, you\u2019re not getting a partridge, and in a perfect world, you\u2019d have complete visibility into staffing goals for the next year\u2026 or at least the first quarter. Since this is rarely the case, <a href=\"https:\/\/techhub.dice.com\/2018-DiceLP-2018-Intake-Template-and-Guide-ResourceLibrary.html\">start having conversations<\/a> with your hiring managers now about their current workforce and future needs. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Improve Job Descriptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> <em>On the second day of holiday hacks, my hiring manager gave to me<\/em>\u2026 two job descriptions. Well no, they probably didn\u2019t (I\u2019ll bet you didn\u2019t get those turtledoves, either). You\u2019re probably going to have to <a href=\"job-descriptions-attract-candidates-technologists-perspective\">craft those descriptions yourself<\/a>, and now\u2019s the time to get your head start. While you\u2019re having the conversation about 2019, learn as much as you can about any upcoming projects and the skills needed to complete the work. By doing so, you\u2019ll find it much easier to research and outline the qualifications you\u2019ll hunt for in the new year. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Excel at Events <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Chances are, you attend more than three events annually, but for the sake of keeping with the theme, we\u2019ll just say this hack is preparing for three tech-recruiting events (that\u2019s my minimum, personally). Start reviewing what worked last year, read up on the <a href=\"spring-2019-top-10-events-for-tech-recruiters-and-hr-pros\">hot recruiting topics of this year<\/a>, and begin to build out your calendar. Doing this ahead of time will help guarantee your chances of hitting up only the most valuable events, with time to spare for testing out new opportunities (and perhaps even hosting some in your own hen house). <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dedicate Social Recruiting <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Sing it with me: Four social networks (for calling out to candidates). Sure, there are more networks available (and for some recruiters, even less; for them, it\u2019s Facebook or nothing). Either way, it\u2019s all too easy to let these channels languish in the background while you tend to \u201cmore important\u201d tasks. But trust me, your social efforts will pay off in the long run, and candidates will definitely notice. Take an hour or two to dust off your presence, refresh who you\u2019re following, and seek out new followers by sharing some well-curated content geared toward tech professionals. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ease of Engagement <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Five ways to connect? Maybe that\u2019s a stretch, but between social media, email, chat, phone calls and <a href=\"texting-job-candidates-the-good-bad-and-ugly\">texting<\/a>, there are a lot of ways to get in touch. Not everyone prefers the same method (especially that hard-to-reach tech talent). If there\u2019s one thing we know for sure, it\u2019s that outreach is all about preparation, personalization and persistence. As you initiate engagement, learn how your candidate likes to communicate before moving ahead. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Go Programmatic <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> No geese here. Instead, here\u2019s a speed round of six things to know about programmatic job advertising: programmatic equals automated, it gives you the ability to target a specific audience, it can improve your access to qualified tech talent, it can integrate into your applicant tracking system, it can give you visibility into job posting performance, and it\u2019s likely to save you time and money. Consider it another tool in the box to help you find candidates for those hard-to-fill openings (and optimize the ROI of your job post slots on Dice). <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ask for Referrals <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Just by asking existing employees, you could have one, two, seven or more tech candidates swimming in your talent pool before year\u2019s end. Don\u2019t overlook the value of referrals, whether formal or informal. The key here is making sure your workforce knows how to participate and inquire when new jobs are posted (a weekly, or even a monthly, email will suffice). <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Interview Smarter <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> When\u2019s the last time you really <a href=\"quiz-how-strong-is-your-tech-hiring-process\">evaluated your interview process<\/a>? No one wants to do round after round of interviews (that\u2019s some eight maids-a-milking-level work). Consider some new ways you can retool and streamline this process. Whether that means fewer stakeholders, fewer questions or the support of a platform to facilitate e-interviews, everyone involved will appreciate the effort\u2026 candidates included. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Niche Talent Networks <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> If you\u2019re not yet hiring, but you want to keep candidates dancing through this season and into the next, develop talent networks that speak to their unique tech skills. You can even promote your organization at the same time. Create and compile content that highlights your culture, spotlights available openings, and acknowledges your candidates\u2019 value to the industry. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Assess the Best <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Okay, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll need to run ten different assessments, but you\u2019ll have to engage with a few. The technical ones take top billing: Examine tech skills and competencies, followed by behaviors, soft skills and culture add. With assessments in place, you\u2019ll gain deeper insights into a candidate\u2019s on-the-job abilities and potential performance. Assessments are a valuable way to ensure no new hire goes a-leaping within the first 90 days, making it well worth your time investment. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rotate Around <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> While spinning around eleven times might cause you to fall down, moving around some of your top performers has the potential to really strengthen your workforce. Before looking for talent outside of your organization, revisit your recent hires as well as the seasoned pros to identify any internal moves that could work in the company\u2019s favor. Sometimes that perfect-fit candidate is already piping away in plain sight. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stack Your Experience <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> After those tech candidates drum through the end of 2018 (whether hired or not), take a moment to check up on those key metrics. You know this tight tech market requires your recruiting A-game, so compare your 2018 highs and lows with industry benchmarks. It\u2019s difficult to get feedback from those dispositioned, and new hires tend to sing back only positives. In order to get an unfiltered measurement of your success, look at the numbers; combine the data with your own firsthand experiences to determine any redundancies and find out what works. And when in doubt, start again at hiring hack number one (converse!). <strong><em>Noel Cocca  <\/em><\/strong><em>is the founder and CEO of RecruitingDaily and its merry band of rabble-rousers.
