Posting a job description isn’t enough anymore.

In today’s hiring market, many of the best candidates aren’t actively applying—they’re already employed, well-networked, and paying close attention to who is hiring, not just what is posted.

In this episode of The 2Talented Podcast, we continue our series for hiring managers and talent leaders by breaking down practical ways to attract talent beyond the job description.

We discuss:

Why hiring managers should post open roles on their personal LinkedIn profiles
How leveraging your network creates trust, reach, and better conversations
Talking about open roles at networking events, conferences, and peer conversations
Reconnecting with past candidates who impressed you—and tapping into their networks
How to clearly articulate what makes a role unique and compelling

How reputation and compensation perception influence candidate interest

We also share a quick running update and what we’re seeing at Strides Staffing & Consulting as we work with hiring managers navigating a competitive and evolving talent market.

If you’re responsible for hiring and relying solely on job postings, this episode will help you think differently—and more effectively—about how great talent actually finds great roles.

🎧 Tune in and start attracting talent instead of waiting for it.
