Where do you get your in-house employees from?
 

Subject: "Where do you get your in-house employees from?"

How do you get them?
- Advertising on job sites
- Local newspapers
- Mouth on mouth advertising
- ???????

It would be interesting to know what would work the best. I have huge problems to find good new employees. All your suggestions are welcome :thumbsup
(so I'm not asking about employees working over the internet)

mouth on mouth seems to work best :thumbsup

mouth to mouth and its damn hard yes

we pull from adverts....newbies are the way to go

We always look for a family friend or family member that we know there past and if they are willing to put the dedication in to get the job done and it works we just hired one of the biz partners cousins. Kids been working his ass off for the past couple of months.

We hire through word or mouth for the most part... I was former talent and asked for this job, our new webmaster was the good buddy of our previous one, our COO is the husband of our CEO, and our videographer answered an ad at film school way back at the start of the company.

We found Gabe selling oranges on the freeway. Cory was found in a fashion show.

Computer/Tech college newspapers

Craigslist does pretty well for me.

I think mouth on mouth advertising works best

thanks for all your posts
It seems like the old way is the best way to go.

look in doorways - late at night - you can find them using yesterday's newspaper as a blanket. don't startle them though - gently nudge them.

I was found wandering the streets of Zurich. Joe took pity on my less than posh appearance and offered me a job.

In all truth, sometimes mouth on mouth works...and sometimes it doesn't. I think it's a crap shoot, since we're all so good at marketing ourselves......I think, hiring, based on performance within a probationary period works well. Numbers don't lie.

I tell my current staff to start scouting. Although I did get a great designer by putting up an ad.

I was brought inhouse to a MAJOR program from GFY -- kind of like I used to get a lot of freelance work from GFY...worked both ways :thumbsup

What kind of job offers you got FO?
