1) Finding the right talent requires looking beyond job portals and focusing on where niche candidates actually spend their time, such as LinkedIn, technology meetups, and platforms like StackOverflow. 2) Rather than just posting jobs, companies should promote their brand and culture through webinars, conferences, and social media to attract passive candidates. 3) Tapping internal references and rewarding employees who refer candidates can also help source talent beyond just external job boards and profiles.
