Key Take-Aways

Try to change in-person interviews to phone interviews or virtual calls.
References serve two purposes: first, one last chance to identify red flags; two, demonstrate specific skills in certain areas.
To increase the number of applicants to a position, send the information to social media, not for people to apply directly but to redirect them to the position’s landing page.
Reach out to people in the schools that pertain to the industry you work in to find candidates.
Give yourself more time to get a bigger pool of applicants for a position.
Have other people you work with be part of the interview process so you, as the decision-maker, can get different points of view.
