Your company can offer excellent jobs in the recession. But the candidates are worried to change the job and lose their income and security. The companies have to communicate their strong position on the market and the managed impact of the recession on the organization.
The companies have to focus on the communication of the good plan for the recession in the media and the job candidates have to believe the success story. The employees in the organization have to believe to the leaders and managers that the plan for surviving the recession is really good.
The recruitment is very sensitive process as the job candidates have the emotions and the emotions can drive their own decision process. The job candidates have to feel the security from the company as they can continue in their own deciding. The company has to communicate the strong willingness to survive the recession and to innovate its operation model and business model.
The job candidates have to understand the reason the company has the vacancy and the exact goals to reach during the next months. The goals have to be realistic as the job candidates can make a good own idea about the reach ability of such a goal.
The recruitment in the recession has to focus on different messages. It is not about the excellent salary packages, it is about challenges and the leadership values in the organization. As the job candidates feel that the map of the successful businesses will change, as the recession will go worse. The recession will destroy many current business models and new business models will evolve. As the smaller organizations are in a bigger danger, the innovations in the recession will come mainly from the sector of the small and medium enterprises.

Some interesting points here.
Having said that, since we’re also talking about being more creative during this economic slump, why not think outside the box of looking to work for another in the first place?
I’m rather amazed that there are plenty of skill sets that are for whatever reason not “conventional” enough to be taught in schools, but the mastery of which would lead to more autonomy.
Most of us are trained to be employees- nothing wrong with that, but I’m convinced that thinking that way is a kind of tunnel vision that keeps many from learning skills that wold allow them to carve out there own path to income.
One of them is as close as the computer in front of you. For the first time in history, we are 3 feet in front of the world, yet few learn how to use it in a way to render 1) value to others and 2)income for themselves.
