Respect Software Engineers & IT professional’s privacy,they do not like getting spammed or emailed about everyjob you are working on. Do your homework and onlycontact candidates that after doing some research on themprovides evidence they may be a great fit.

#1Be mindful

Learn the lingo. If you are working on a search assignmentand you don’t know what the difference betweenJavascript & Java are, again do your homework on whatexactly what the technology your company uses or whatfunctions or specific work it will be used for.

#2Keep knowledge

Relationship building is very important. You are not goingto find someone to get interested or engaged in youropportunity by just sending them an email. Find out moreabout them before you approach them and find out whatthey like and do not like.

#3Build relationship

Screening Candidates is important but think outside thebox when you are talking to them instead of the boilerplatequestions. E.g. Instead of asking do you have 5 years ofexperience with Java ask what applications they have builtusing Java, what do you like or dislike about using thetechnology.

Finding passive candidates. There are so many tools outthere today that you try everything. If you arestill relyingon using monster, career builder and presenting peoplethat are just out there looking for jobs and not working youare doing your company, employee's and stakeholders adisservice.

Getting great referrals. This is one of the best ways toconnect to someone for a job. If they aren’t interestedmaybe they know just the person for the job.

If you are lucky enough to talk to them ask them what jobwould interest them or when they might want you to followback up with them or what exact type of technology or jobor company are they looking for in their next career move.

Follow-Up with them when you say you are going to so theycan build up some trust with you and recommend you tosome of their colleagues or friends.

#8Don't miss followups

Locking down the candidate. Once you have them engagedask them if they are working with any other recruiters, askabout that opportunity and what would make them go withyour opportunity over the other ones.

Close. This is done only after you have cleared all theobstacles, built up a great relationship with them and bynow you should know all about them making it very easy tohave them join your company or take the offer you wantthem to accept.
