Non-Traditional Recruiting Techniques

In the world of recruiting, there can be a lot competition. Every business wants to hire the best employees. That is why businesses hire recruiters: to find employees who will offer the best performance.

There are a number of techniques that recruiters can use to get employees working for a company. Whatever techniques that they use, recruiters have to make sure that stay within the law.

Some recruiters have blurred the line between what is legal and what is illegal by practicing non-traditional recruiting techniques. While most such non-traditional techniques are not illegal, some can very well be.

There are many unusual, creative ways by which recruiters have connected companies with those whom they want to hire. One recruiter dressed up as a hot dog vendor—in full costume and with a vendor cart—to come into contact with someone a company wanted to hire. Another unusual strategy employed was to find out an individual's interest and use that to contact her. For example, if someone likes hiking, finding out where that person hikes can allow a recruiter to meet the person "accidently" and pass on the contact information of the interested company.

Most of these "non-traditional" recruiting techniques are not illegal. They do require someone who is smart and savvy, however, and someone who is not afraid to take a risk.
