Here are three pieces of advice to<\/span> maximize your talent pool and<\/span> avoid putting candidates in boxes<\/span>:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Don\u2019t<\/span> overly rely on traditional hiring methods. Instead of focusing on candidates\u2019 years of experience, focus on the actual experience and skills they bring to the table.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t<\/span> make assumptions. This can include making assumptions about someone\u2019s work ethic, temperament, or ability to assimilate into a team based on age, young or old.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Do consider hybrid work. <\/span>Does the candidate actually need to be on-site five days a week, or can they work a hybrid schedule?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
