First off, congratulations on your client’s growth! Here are some practical and actionable recommendations to help them with their recruiting challenges:

1. Employee referrals: While you may have already implemented a referral program, it’s worth revisiting and optimizing it. You can offer incentives or bonuses to employees who refer successful candidates. Make sure the referral process is streamlined and easy for employees to submit referrals.

2. Talent acquisition partnerships: It may be worth partnering with other organizations, schools or associations for a steady stream of candidates. Offer to be a guest speaker, provide career advice or information on career advancements, while also letting the audience know of any job openings within your organization.

3. Social media presence: Leverage social media to reach a larger audience. Your client should have a strong presence on LinkedIn, Twitter, and/or Facebook, and regularly post new positions and industry trends.

4. Internal career advancement: Can you help identify any employees from within the organization that could grow into more senior positions? Develop a clear career advancement plan for each employee.

5. Utilize technology: Utilize Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) or HR software to screen resumes and track candidates. Tools like these can help speed up the recruitment process and make it much more manageable.

Overall, these five strategies can help your client recruit in a more effective and efficient way. The frameworks your client should consider include: The Referral Framework, Talent Acquisition Framework, Social Media Framework and Internal Career Advancement Framework.
