I went to Starbucks last week and I noticed they put a sticker on the top of my cup saying that they were hiring.  What a creative way to reach out to talent! 

Some of the more non-traditional things we use are various web 2.0 functions such as Facebook, Linked IN, and Smaller Indiana.  While these aren’t the most effective tools for finding job seekers now, they are becoming increasing useful as they become more legitimate forms of communication.

We also always encourage our clients to mention their hiring needs as they are networking and send an e-mail to their close network contacts to let them know who they are looking for.  This is a tried and true method for finding good employees.  However, you need to be sure that you put these candidates through the same due diligence as you do candidates that come from other sources. 

Are their creative ways that you reach out to people in your circle to let them know about your employment opportunities?
