Hi there! I’m Miriam Dushane with Alaant Workforce Solutions. Today, I want to talk about something that might surprise you—hiring even when you don’t have an open role.
We recently ran a poll asking, “Have you ever hired—or been hired—for a job that wasn’t officially open, just because the fit was that great?” Almost half of you said “Yes!” This speaks volumes about the importance of cultural and organizational fit when it comes to building a strong, cohesive team.
So, what does this mean for employers? If you connect with a candidate who would be a perfect addition to your team, but you don't have an open role at the moment, consider making room in your budget and headcount. Flexibility in your hiring strategy can be a game-changer.
By being open to unexpected hires, you’re not just filling a position—you’re investing in the long-term success of your organization. Great talent doesn’t always come along when it’s convenient, but when it does, it can elevate your team and bring incredible value.
At Alaant Workforce Solutions, we’re here to help you find and secure top talent, whether you’re actively hiring or just keeping an eye out for that perfect fit. Call me today at 518-689-3138 or visit us online at Alaant.com.
Let’s continue to think beyond the job description and focus on building the best team possible. Have a great day and let’s talk soon!
