Recruiting the right person for your team has always taken a bit of thought - but in today’s market, it’s not just about posting an ad and crossing your fingers. Jobseekers are looking for more than just a paycheque. So how do you attract the right people and stand out from the crowd?
Here’s our no-fluff take on what’s working (and what’s not) when it comes to smart, practical recruitment in 2025.
It’s not all about money anymore. People want purpose, balance, and a bit of heart. If your job ad is still a dry list of duties and KPIs, it’s time for an upgrade.
These are the things jobseekers care about. Be specific. Paint the picture. Make your ad human.
Seek and Indeed are still solid tools, but they’re not your only options — and they shouldn’t be your only strategy.
Here are some underrated places that really work:
Before you upload your ad, pick up the phone and speak with Seek directly. They can advise you on layout, wording, job category and even when to go live - and you’ll often get better reach just by taking the time to have a quick chat. It’s a simple move that too many people skip.
It might sound old school, but it works. Share the job on your own LinkedIn, in your local business group WhatsApp chat, at school pick-up, or at your local BNI. People hire people and a personal recommendation still carries a lot of weight.
Good recruitment takes a little creativity and a bit of legwork - but the payoff is a team that fits and stays. If you’re still just posting on one job board and hoping for the best, it’s time to rethink your strategy.
And if you ever want help writing an ad that really lands, or need support figuring out what to pay, how to structure contracts or where to look - you know where we are.
