- providing free tacos for in-person applicants
- hosting a drive-through career fair or hiring
- hiring a daily workforce through a prison work-release program
Later, she shares has tips for improving standard tactics, like job ads. She encourages you to have a clear and concise title on ads. You should also be intentional with your formatting. Finally, she reminds you to really sell your company to turn candidates into applicants.
