a wider field of candidates
#2 Work out which skills are essential and which can be trained.
Some training may only be a matter of a few days on a course.

#4 See good candidates immediately
#5 Don’t expect to see a group of suitably qualified candidates.
#6 Consider flexing the hours, location, pay, experience levels and even the jobs responsibilities.
#7 Start training someone inside the company so that the next time you have this vacancy you also have a ready-made succession plan.
