Why You Should Have an Experiential Recruiting Model

Recruiting Conversations

Welcome back to another episode of Recruiting Conversations. Today, we're diving into a concept that's close to my heart: the experiential recruiting model. This approach isn't just about filling positions—it's about creating an experience that truly reflects who you are as a leader.

Key Takeaways:

1. Experiential Recruiting Model:

   • Every recruiting leader should have a personal recruiting system where you, the leader, are the product.

   • Offer experiences that give recruits a taste of what it's like to be part of your team.

2. Providing Value:

   • Regularly share books, inspirational videos, and personal development resources with potential recruits.

   • Use industry-related content to add real value during the recruiting process.

3. Leadership Reflection:

   • Take a hard look at your leadership style and think about how it influences your recruiting efforts.

   • Make sure your leadership is attractive and provides meaningful experiences that recruits will value.

4. Engagement Strategies:

   • Ask potential recruits about their biggest motivators and what drives them to grow.

   • Focus on building genuine relationships rather than just trying to sell a job.

5. Practical Tips:

   • Consider unique gestures like gifting URLs or books to show thoughtfulness and add a personal touch.

   • Regularly give out resources that align with your leadership values and demonstrate your commitment to personal growth.
