Try a Recruitment Firm

A Referral Scheme
Have you asked any of your existing employees if they know anyone that would fit the role you are looking to fill? An employee referral scheme can be a great way to dive into your pool of existing contacts and see if there is anyone of interest. It also has the added benefit of letting your existing team know that you care about their opinion and that they are a big part of your company.

Or you could let people know as part of a monthly newsletter that you send out as part of regular updates.
