You don’t want to find just any job candidate — you want to find the cream of the crop. Then, you want to convince them to join your team. But how do you do it in today’s highly competitive, highly digital environment? 

To find out, talent acquisition software company RolePoint combed through tons of research to find out what’s working today to find and hire the best of the best.

At the conclusion of its analysis, RolePoint compiled a lengthy infographic of best practices employers should consider incorporating in their hiring processes.

Here are the highlights (infographic to follow):

  • Settle in for the long haul. The average time it takes to hire an employee in the U.S. has climbed from 12.6 days in 2010 to 23 days.
  • Focus on candidate needs. The number of highly rated applicants can increase by as much as 300% when the job description focuses on candidates’ needs — not just their skills and experience.
  • Be mobile-friendly. Roughly, 20% of job seekers would give up on an online application if they couldn’t finish it on a mobile device.
  • Encourage referrals. Employee referrals can make the best, most satisfied hires. But you’ve got to make the referral process easy, and find ways to spark participation through a rewards program.
  • Hire from within. Encourage inner-company mobility among your employees. The best people for the position may already be under your roof.
