Create a brand for the organization
Nowadays, even freshers are more concerned about the brand of the organizations they join. If you have a strong brand in the market, you will be able to attract good candidates. It is essential to offer a competitive package along with social security benefits. There is a growing trend to avoid companies with lengthy notice periods and those that do not provide social security benefits like EPF. However, if you are legally compliant, you can gain the trust of your employees. They are likely to spread positive feedback through word of mouth, sending a message that the organization is employee-friendly.

Dear Deeksha Gupta,
You have asked how to attract better candidates to your company. The reply has been given to you. But before thinking about attracting the candidates, three things merit contemplation.
Attracting Talented Candidates
The first one is not only should you be able to attract candidates, but they should be talented candidates as well. What is the use of attracting candidates rejected by other companies?
Current Employee Perception
Above all, it is worth checking whether the employees on the roll think your organization is attractive. If, in the eyes of the current employees, the organization is not attractive, it could impact their motivation. This, in turn, will impact the motivation of the newly joined employees. The cycle will go on endlessly.
Ex-Employee Feedback
Lastly, what about the ex-employees? Do they talk positively about your company? Will they say 'yes' or 'no' to a would-be candidate? Their referral or non-referral carries a lot of value.
Company Reviews
What about your company's review on portals like mouthshut.com? Before applying for a job, candidates check the reviews and then decide whether or not to apply for a vacant position.
Thanks,
