5 Competitive Hiring Strategies for 2024
That's Good HR, Inc.
We are a locally owned firm that has been serving the Indianapolis area for 20+ years. Bottom line - we know staffing.
It’s 2024, and you’re wondering what’s in store on the hiring landscape. Nobody has a crystal ball, but we do expect the demand for workers to stay competitive , especially as Baby Boomers move into retirement and companies work to fill in the missing pieces. It’s still a job seeker’s market, and savvy hiring managers will have to be strategic if they want to find the right candidates for their open positions.
One thing is certain – you don’t want to sit on open positions while you determine the company’s next step.
“Vacant positions cause extra stress on team members, and dedicated employees begin to stray,” said Derek Kibble, That’s Good HR’s new Director of RPO Services.
In the spirit of New Year’s resolutions, the That’s Good HR team has compiled some fresh ideas for staying ahead in the hiring market. With more than 20 years’ experience in Indianapolis-area staffing, we’ve seen what works when it comes to staffing. We also know what causes talented candidates to seek work elsewhere. Read on for some timely hiring strategies:
Interview quickly and provide feedback to keep the candidate interested during the hiring process
A quick response can mean the difference between interviewing promising candidates or losing them to your competition. As Derek noted above, time matters when it comes to open positions. You want to fill your openings quickly, but you don’t want to compromise candidate quality by rushing the process.

Keep in touch with your applicants
When you start the interview process, you may also be competing with other similar companies around town who need qualified candidates. Keep the conversation going throughout the interview process, even if it’s a quick note to let a candidate know they’re still in the running for your position. Otherwise, you risk being ghosted because another company communicated more efficiently.
Review your onboarding process
When you bring in a new employee, you want them to feel welcomed and plugged in immediately to the company culture. Having a well-planned onboarding process can help your new hire know they’ve made the right decision to join your company.? In our experience, these pivotal first few weeks can determine how long an employee stays in a position.
Skip the interview process and have That’s Good HR send you someone for a working interview instead
At That’s Good HR, we are big fans of the working interview, or temp-to-hire model. Temp-to-hire means an intent to hire, but there’s a set end date, just in case. A working interview will move the hiring process forward faster. That’s Good HR can help you determine what you should include during the working interview. If efficiency is your main goal, and you are ready to fill an open position “yesterday,” a working interview is a great alternative to the traditional interview process.
