According to a 2024 study by Deloitte, 86% of Gen Zs and millennials want purpose-driven work. In general that means having the opportunity to have their work have a positive contribution to society and enable recognition by others. But also more importantly to employers, the purpose-driven seekers are not afraid to turn down work or a job offer or leave their current jobs in order to find something that is more in-line with their personal ethics or beliefs. In 2023, Linked in reported that 70% of this group (which makes up 69% of the work force) was looking to leave their jobs. Yikes! This leaves employers and top-leadership in a quandary. How do you keep your talent engaged and feeling that their work is important? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I just read an article that illustrated something so important in HR in such a straight forward and simple way, I just had to share... Johnny Campbell, CEO/Co-Founder @socialtalent.com was commenting on how setting a candidates expectations (and meeting them) is critical. This was his illustration. “Imagine you are applying for two jobs, one with Company A and one with Company B. Your process with both has been very similar: You’ve submitted your application, you’ve been moved on to screening, and you’re in contact with the resident recruiter and they say: Company A: “We’ll get back to you in the next seven days.” Company B: “We’ll get back to you in the next 14 days.” Both reach out in 10 days. How do you feel? Company B has knocked it out of the park! You weren’t expecting to hear from them for another four days — so this is great! But you’re a little disappointed in Company A. You’ve been waiting around for correspondence and you’ve been left in the dark.” That illustration knocks it out of the park. It’s so simple yet what you say and do in the interview process can make a big impact on whether you close the deal with your top candidate or not. If you say you’re going to get back to someone in 1 week, get back to them in 1 week! Even if you haven’t made your decision, reach out and give your candidates an update. Following through on your word speaks volumes about what a candidate can expect from the company. ------------ Deanna Nesbit & Associates is a certified woman-owned business that provides executive-level recruiting and HR services.

Businesses haven’t always been on board with paternity leave. Men often feel reluctant to take paternity leave. But the impact of truly participating in childcare and bonding goes far beyond just family life. When fathers fully engage in child care during paternity leave, it creates ripple effects that benefit everyone. Here’s why paternity leave is a game-changer: Increased Gender Parity: When men take paternity leave, it empowers more women to return and thrive in the workplace, moving closer to gender parity in leadership and decision-making roles. Enhanced Productivity: Companies see boosts in productivity, adaptability, and innovation when both parents share care giving responsibilities. Improved Returns on Investment: Research by the Swedish Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation shows that women’s long-term income increases by nearly 7% for each month their male partner takes paternity leave. This helps counteract the motherhood penalty and promotes fairer career advancement. Better Family Dynamics: Care giving rewires men’s brains to enhance nurturing responses, benefiting family life and fostering more creativity in problem-solving at work. Offering paternity leave or non-birthing parental leave can significantly boost your company’s competitive edge in attracting talent. By demonstrating a commitment to work-life balance and inclusive policies, your organization will appeal to a broader range of candidates and stands out as an employer of choice in a competitive job market. Let’s start a conversation: How can your organization support paternity leave to drive gender equality and innovation? What changes can we implement to encourage more men to take this crucial time off?

How do Executive Recruiters find Candidates? We know all the secret executive fishing spots of course! Actually that really is pretty close. Executive recruiters specialize in finding and placing candidates for high-level management positions. We use professional networks, referrals, events, online sources, and other methods to identify potential executives. By collaborating with company leaders, we gather information about job requirements, company goals and company culture, along with any additional candidate preferences to ensure a good match. Good recruiters can screen and evaluate potential candidates quickly by utilizing various tools and experience. Then a shortlist of candidates is selected and interviewed. Only when our team is certain we will be presenting the best options do we go back to the company with our recommendations. At that point, the owner/executive team will interview to evaluate the candidate. Once a selection has been made, companies often enlist the recruiter to assist with contract negotiations and executive on-boarding. The recruiting process time varies but typically our team can typically present top-level, qualified candidates within 1 week. Need assistance with your hiring process?
