How to Get Talent to Come to You: Tips for Finding Giggers
Picture this:
Tim is looking for warehouse gigs and has over five years of experience in the industry. He wants flexibility but doesn’t want to sacrifice team culture. In recent gigs, he’s gone in, done the job himself, and got out. Lately, he’s missing the team and collaborative aspects.
Tim has been using AmbiMi for a couple of months to find gigs. Then, he came across your job posting. After reading the posting, he goes to your MiWindow to get insight into your company. Tim sees your website career page is linked and navigates to it next. It’s full of reasons to join the company: a great company culture, good employee reviews, and smiling teammates. Next, Tim checks your social media and sees you hosted a team BBQ last week. Sounds like a cool place to work, right? Tim reaches out to the company right away to find a gig.
Want attracting quality giggers to be this easy? Getting top talent to look for you simplifies your candidate search. We’ll outline ways you can get giggers to come to you.
How to Attract Quality Giggers
Start Your Search Early
We get it, things happen, and sometimes you need to post a gig for the next day. When you can, allow some extra time to broaden your candidate search and get more people seeing your job. Then, you’ll get more applicants and increase your chances of finding a great match.
Be Clear in Your Job Posting
It’s important to include responsibilities, wages, and perks in your job posting. This will help set candidate expectations of the job before applying.
Maintain an Online Presence
If a candidate wants more information on you after your job posting sparked their interest, many will look to your website. A career page shows job seekers everything they need to know about a company. Be sure to include your culture, benefits, and pictures of employees. Also, update your social media pages with employee events to show a strong culture.
AmbiMi lets you enter company information, safety information, and your website in MiWindow. This gives professionals insight into your company before applying for your gig.
Offer Competitive Wage and Perks
Include a competitive wage in the posting to attract quality giggers. They are more likely to apply if they know the pay. Perks should be different from full-time employees since their motivations are likely different. Motivators for giggers could be a flexible schedule, bonuses, or sometimes temp-to-perm opportunities.

Provide Training Opportunities
Many companies lack training opportunities for giggers. However, many giggers want to upskill through gigs. Offering training to gain more skills, experience, and knowledge will attract more giggers.
Maintain a Good Reputation
It’s good to keep a good reputation in-person and online. People are more likely to return or tell their friends if you have a positive work environment. To help your online presence, you can ask giggers to leave you a review on a job posting platform.
AmbiMi automatically prompts workers to review your organization. Keep your ratings high in AmbiMi to keep a strong reputation.
Ask for Referrals
You can directly ask giggers for referrals. If you have a strong gigger, they likely know others like them. 88% of employers say they found their best above-average candidates through referrals. So, it’s a method you don’t want to skip.
Build a Roster
Having a list of workers you like and are willing to return to as needed will ensure they keep coming back to you. If you like a gigger, let them know you want them to come back, even if you’re not sure when.
AmbiMi lets you keep a roster of interested talent! Just schedule previous professionals directly in the app.
Use a Platform that Supports Gigs
The best way to attract gig workers is to use the platforms they do. AmbiMi hosts a pool of giggers specifically ready to work.
