I had a blast chatting with two of my favorite HR & women in the workplace consultants, Caley Van Cleave, SHRM-SCP and Whitney Van Cleave, SHRM-CP. If you don't know Caley and Whitney, they are extremely bright Founders and Managing Partners at Iridium Helps. In case you are not familiar with Iridium Helps, they empower women at all stages of their careers by offering a unique online space—Club Iridium—where growth-minded professionals come together to make their work lives better. Club Iridium provides access to shared wisdom, professional resources, and live events designed to help women excel in job transitions, negotiations, leadership, and entrepreneurship. This enables women professionals to surround themselves with curious, driven women while gaining the tools, support, and insights needed to build a successful and fulfilling career. In this 1 hour 20 minute no bulls**t chat, we unpack everything from problems and solutions in the hiring process, how AI is impacting hiring, and how candidates are getting interviews these days. If you are a candidate, recruiter, TA/HR leader, operational/executive leader, or hiring manager, and if you are wondering why the recruiting process seems so broken, then this video is for you. #recruiting #talentacquisition #hiringmanagers #hiring #AI

Last week we were humbled and honored to be recognized as an HR Tech Award Winner for the 2nd year in a row! 🏆 Last year we won for "Talent Acquisition Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution." This year we've been selected as the winner under the category, "Talent Acquisition Best Analytics, Measurement, and Business Impact Solution" which is a fancy way of saying we are the best at helping customers measure results and outcomes. Considering we reduce screening time by upwards of 90%, have almost 10x the completion rate for online job applications, and the fact that 91% of hires through SmartRank were made with 2 or less interviews, I think we fit this category well. Huge thanks to Ben Eubanks, George Rogers, and the whole team at Lighthouse Research & Advisory for recognizing SmartRank as a 2024 HR Tech Award Winner! #hiring #talentacquisition

I see A LOT of posts and comments regarding challenges in talent acquisition. I see recruiters talking about getting too many (hundreds or thousands) unqualified candidates. I see candidates talking about not hearing back in a timely manner, if at all. I see challenges between recruiters and hiring managers. I also see and hear about consistent problems with equity and fairness in the hiring process. 🙁 Unfortunately, if you are a solution provider (like me) that uniquely solves any of these problems, and you comment on these posts about how these problems can be solved, you are very quickly attacked for being an "evil salesperson." 😈 So, we wrote a short case study with one of our customers, SimX, where we discuss solving these problems. If you are not interested, that's perfectly okay. But if you are interested in solving any of these problems listed at the top, then click on the link in the comments below! 😀 Huge thanks to SimX for being an amazing customer, and for allowing us to tell their SmartRank story! 🙏 #hiring #talentacquisition #hiringmanagers #diversityequityinclusion #talentacquisitionmanager

SmartRank now offers recruiting services!! If you have been a hiring manager at some point in your career, you have probably worked with external recruiting agencies. If you have worked with agency recruiters, then you have probably heard the phrase, “we are experts in hiring [insert the role you need to hire]”! But if you have worked with recruiting agencies, you probably know what is coming next…updating a job description, participating in an intake meeting, and then redundantly reviewing résumés that they send you. And you have to ask yourself, if they are the “experts” then why am I doing all this work? The truth is, the only “experts” for your roles are the hiring managers that work at your company. That is where we focus our time and technology. What makes SmartRank Recruiting Services different? 💡 1. We have a 100% proprietary AI technology platform that qualifies candidates at an extremely detailed level per your EXACT specifications 2. We don’t just send you a bunch of résumés and hope you’ll like one of the candidates. Instead we send you exact % matches to what you are looking for in qualified candidates 3. We use our platform to facilitate quick and easy communication with you instead of the same old manual processes that are used today 4. We provide data analytics about candidates, roles, qualifications, and other important areas that NO other agencies can provide What are some of the benefits you can expect from using SmartRank Recruiting Services? 1. Better qualified candidates which will lead to less time spent in interviews, better productivity, and lower attrition 🏆 2.

You won’t be disappointed! #hiring #hiringmanagers #recruitingagency #recruitingservices

Yesterday, the Pillar team sat down with Hung Lee to discuss the 5 TA trends that he believes will define the year. There was so much good stuff packed into 45 minutes, but here are a few of my takeaways from the discussion: ◾When it comes to AI, efficiency should be the priority. TA teams are not going to be looking at massive increases in headcount this year, but they are going to be looking at massive increases in expected productivity. Teams are going to need to examine all the activities that they currently perform and deploy AI into them. And the biggest advice Hung has concerning AI…embrace it! ◾In 2024, Hung expects the applicant flow rate to increase, especially as candidates continue to become AI-enabled. We will begin to lose our capacity to understand what is an AI-generated application vs. a manual one. Recruiters will then have to spend more time sifting through applications, which means there will be less time to get back to candidates, and this is why he believes candidate experience will continue to decline throughout this next year. ◾Laws at the US-state level and EU country level are drastically going to change how we create and make job offers. According to Hung, what we should start to see is a centralization of how compensation is created.
