Discussion Question #1 The first thing I would do is look into local Colleges and Universities to see if they will happen to be hosting a career fair any time soon.  If they are, I would attempt to get on the roster for the event.  This is a great opportunity for both the college and the company to become liaisons for skilled applicants/students to get hired on with a company.  

In addition to colleges, I would also reach out to local temp agencies.  These agencies have access to many various skilled applicants.  If the company I work for allows us to hire contractors, which is the way I would proceed with interviewing high skilled workers for hard to fill technical positions.

Good evening class, Three things that comes to mind 1) network 2) referral programs 3) conferences All three categories you'll actively recruit candidates from a variety of backgrounds and a wider range of experiences.  According to Washington  Post.com  "the Travel Ban and the firing of FBI Director James Comey last month and the escalating probe into the Russian interference in the presidential election have made hiring even more difficult".  The travel ban really affect lot of business who hires from outside the US. This put pressure on businesses who now have to focus on the diversity of the communities and culture in which they operate.
