1) Where to look for candidates; indeed (reactive search, active candidates):

Indeed is a great starting point, might be the only website needed for reactive search. Great for skilled Trades but works for everything.
• Easy to post a job, but time will be spent on the back end, reviewing resumes, talking to candidates. 
• Start with indeed, moving to others job posting sites can be a future strategy.
• Don’t forget local job posting sites, worth a try.
• Active candidates may be job hunting during process, they need to be asked from time to time and encouraged to juggle oppotunities.

Writing indeed post:
• List salary low/high range liberally in title, break down base + in post. Use “commensurate with experience.” This is what people look at.
• Experiment with postings, update every two weeks so viewers know it is a fresh position.
• Titles need to have good search criteria (e.g. Industrial Maintenance Mechanic).
• Use two different posts if necessary (e.g. Industrial painter and auto-body painter).
• Short post body with important info, both selling the position and setting requirements.
• Use keywords as much as possible, try to get bumps and clicks. Some national posts can go viral.

Reviewing resumes:
• Consider all resumes, even if they are incomplete.
• Weed out all deal breakers (see below).
• Keep low-possibility candidates in bucket for possible future conversations.
• Spend time on conversations, talk to the best candidates available even if their resume is incomplete or odd.
• Rewrite resume if necessary. Do not give them updated resume until process is complete, as they may send it to other employers.

Resume deal breakers:
• Serial job jumpers – if not horrible, ask for reasons on each jump. Note, location change usually goes along with job change; usually acceptable. 
• Long commutes – shoot for 30 minutes max city, 45 minutes max rural. Long commutes may shorten longevity if closer employers are found.
• Relocation?
• Career path inconsistencies – already has a career path in different direction.

Communications:
• Outreach should be simply set up phone calls to “share all of the information that I have.”
• Make call as soon as possible.
