Artisan Talent’s Post

We know that job searching is a job in itself. You update your portfolio, tailor your resume, maybe even write a cover letter all to hit submit and... wait. Sometimes for a while. But trust us, the reality is recruiters and hiring managers are working tirelessly on the other side. We think it's time to show you a little bit of what's happening after you apply for that job. So, let's break down a recent temp-to-perm placement to give you an idea of everything that's going on that you never see. ✍🏽 Quick overview: ▪️524 Total applications, each reviewed manually by an Artisan recruiter ▪️5 Qualified candidates submitted to the client ▪️2 Final round interviews ▪️6 Weeks of the hiring process ▪️1 Candidate hired ✍🏽 This client is a Texas-based digital marketing agency, relatively new to us. They were looking to hire a campaign strategist and had a tight budget - a common reality in our current market. The role needed someone who was talented at writing copy for marketing campaigns but was also skilled at managing the entire process for their clients. ✍🏽 The final candidate selected was someone who applied directly to the position! After a few weeks of temp work with the client, she was hired full-time and has been knocking it out of the park. Takeaway: Unfortunately, every hiring process has challenges and elements that both applicants and candidates never see. If you were declined for this job, it doesn't mean you aren't amazing at managing campaigns or the right job isn't on its way. #hiring #hiringprocess
