In the recruitment process, patience is not just a virtue but a strategy. Taking the time to thoroughly assess candidates ensures that we find the right fit, not just the quickest hire. Often businesses fail to understand that a wrong hire can cost them much higher as stakeholders lose sight of long-term. Lesser notice period should not be a shortlisting criterion for the hiring manager. Patience allows for deeper evaluations, more meaningful conversations, and the opportunity to uncover qualities and motives that might not be immediately apparent. Let's remember that the best candidates are often worth the wait! #recruitment #hiring #patience #talentacquisition

One of the biggest lessons a recruiter can learn early on in their career… Momentum has a massive impact on the outcome of the recruitment process. Keeping the placement alive through regular touch points with the client and candidate gives both parties confidence that it’s moving forward, that it’s happening and that they’re both important. That doesn’t mean you only touch base when you have an update, but more importantly when you don’t. To your candidate, saying you DON’T have any news IS still news to them! What’s your thoughts? #recruitment #recruiter #candidateexperience

In today's competitive job market, reducing the time to hire is crucial for attracting and retaining top talent. A lengthy hiring process can lead to candidate drop-off, increased recruitment costs, and a longer vacancy period that affects productivity. Effective pre-screening of candidates is a key strategy to streamline the interview process and expedite hiring decisions. By implementing robust pre-screening techniques, employers can quickly identify the best-fit candidates, reduce the number of unnecessary interviews, and ultimately accelerate the hiring process. This not only enhances the candidate experience but also ensures that the organization can secure high-quality hires efficiently. #HiringEfficiency #StreamlineHiring #QuickHire #RecruitmentStrategy #TalentAcquisition #FastTrackHiring #HiringBestPractices #OptimizeRecruitment #TopTalent #SGSconsulting

Confession: I use my “gut feeling” as the final decision when I hire. Over the years I have met with so many people and conducted countless interviews as we have hired staff for our 3 businesses. We have used a robust capability focused recruitment strategy and while I always consider qualifications, experience, and references, I've found that it's often my gut feeling that makes the final call and it never fails. Trusting your intuition or “gut feeling” doesn't mean ignoring hard facts, but it means valuing the human element in business decisions. It's about recognising potential beyond what's on paper and understanding how someone might fit into your company culture. #BeyondTheResume #SmartHiring #TrustYourIntuition #PotentialOverPaper
