Let's talk about the hiring process. How long should it take? 🤔 My opinion... 2 stages max. If you're taking longer than that and still struggling to hire, it's time to take a hard look at your process. Here's why: ❗️ Longer processes can show a lack of commitment to the candidate and an inability to make decisions. This can turn off top talent, who are in high demand and don't have time to waste. ❗️ Longer processes also increase the chances of losing top talent to competitors. If you're not moving quickly, someone else will. ❗️ Prolonged hiring processes can also give your company a bad reputation in the market, leading to a negative impact on your future hiring efforts. The facts speak for themselves. Did you know that 64% of candidates who have a negative hiring experience will share it with their friends and colleagues? And even worse, 27% of them will actively discourage others from applying. 👎🏻 In the competitive world of recruitment, word travels fast. So don't let a negative reputation hurt your chances of landing top talent. Simplify your process and create a sense of urgency. After all, it's a candidate-short market, and they won't wait around for you. ⏰ Let's make sure we're putting our best foot forward and creating a hiring process that's efficient, effective, and get's the job done. #Recruitment #Hiring #TalentAcquisition #Efficiency #CandidateExperience #CactusRecruit

Strategic talent acquisition specialist | Helping companies find their key players and professionals land career-defining roles | Let's shape the future of work together
The "worst" thing you can do in your hiring process is bringing others down to prove you're "the best". I see this in the recruitment sector all the time. Examples are: 1. Discrediting the skills or experiences of other candidates to make one's favored candidate appear more qualified. 2. Comparing companies negatively, suggesting that your own organization is superior. 3. Criticizing fellow recruiters on their talent acquisition strategies. Recognize the mistakes? This is called "competitive degradation. And it's wrong. If anything, it makes your hiring process weaker. You don't need to bring a methodology down to prove yours is better. Simply show why yours is "good". Stop fighting to beat others. ↳ Start fighting to beat the odds in your favor. There's a life lesson in here too. ;) How do you ensure your hiring strategy is effective without resorting to negative tactics? #HiringProcess #TalentAcquisition #RecruitmentStrategy #recruiter #hiring

Nearly half of all job seekers would consider writing a negative review about a potential employer if the hiring process takes too long. It's simple to avoid this. Having too many interviewers, stakeholders, and bottlenecks like zero calendar availability and lack of investment in the hiring process will always delay things. When all the participants use different scorecards to determine the best fit, it only adds to the chaos. Here's what you should do instead: Get on the same page from the start! Doing so will save time, money, team morale, productivity, and your company's brand reputation. When I see searches taking months to complete, hiring managers frequently confess they wish they'd hired one of the first 3 candidates they interviewed in the first month. Unfortunately, those candidates are often already hired by companies with efficient hiring processes. While it's important for key decision-makers to be involved in the hiring process, it must be streamlined, minimizing delays caused by those not directly involved in the new hire's success. I understand the desire for buy-in from multiple team members, but this often delays finding the best fit for your team's objectives. Take a step back, determine what will drive the business forward, and hire the person who will help achieve that. If you struggle to trust your hiring instincts or align your team, rely on a recruiting partner for expert guidance to lead your team to the next level of success. If you need this kind of guidance, let's chat. #hiring #employerbrand

I've been in recruiting for over 17 years and have worked with a variety of clients. For those in recruiting, these tips might seem obvious, but for companies focused on their core expertise rather than recruitment, here are some ways to succeed in a tight labor market (beyond the basics like offering fair compensation, a strong brand, and a great culture with training and development). Two Best Practices to Secure Talent More Consistently: Concise Job Descriptions: Make sure your job descriptions reflect the urgency and flexibility of the role. If you need the perfect candidate, an extensive wish list is fine. But if the hiring manager needs a timely solution, allow some flexibility so more candidates will consider themselves suitable. This approach also helps build a talent pipeline for future openings. Streamlined Hiring Process: Design a hiring process that is thorough yet decisive. Both parties need to make informed decisions without losing momentum. More steps don’t necessarily mean a more thorough process. As a recruiter and partner to clients, listening and empathy are key. I always try to put myself in their shoes. Remember, resigning from a job and starting a new role is one of life’s top five most stressful events. This emotionally charged decision needs to feel right for both parties. A lengthy, complex process can create doubt and cause you to lose great candidates to competitors with more streamlined processes. Food for thought. Hope this adds some value to your day! #TechnicalRecruiting #HiringBestPractices #MadeInAmerica
