The partnership between recruiter and founder/hiring manager plays a crucial role in successful hiring. In our experiences, attaining the best outcomes requires a clear alignment on these four priorities. What else would you add? #Hiring #StartupTalent

CEO: Can you find us a Unicorn ❓ Hiring Manager: Absolutely, already have one. Here it is. CEO: That’s great. Can we see 3 more to compare? Hiring Manager: How many unicorns do you think exist? CEO: Silence for 2 weeks. 2 weeks later….. CEO: Can we see the first candidate? Hiring Manager: No, it was a Unicorn. Someone else already hired it. You don’t need 10 candidates for a role. You just need the first great one you see. Keep it simple! #copiedpost #Hiring #talent #silentmessage #hiring #recruiter #recruiters #hiringtips #hiringnow #jobsearch #unicorn #ceo #hiringmanger #candidates #hiringandpromotion

I’m hiring #whosinterested… Shark&Co are partnered with an exciting Tech-focused firm based in Central London. I have known and worked with the managing director for 3 years 🤝 who started as a graduate. Six years later, he is a 50% shareholder. In this time they have tripled headcount, surpassed top line revenue to £7million GP, and homegrown 4 directors 🧑💼at entry level who also have shares within the business. They offer, £45k for basic salary for any Technology recruiter with 2+ years' experience. (That’s £10k over what everyone else is offering. I should know I’ve placed 3 consultant’s with over 4.5 years in the industry at £35k). Commission structure 💵 starts at 20%. My advice is for Technology Recruitment Consultants at senior / principal level to shop around the market and engage with experts like me. 👀 Every day, a company increases their compensation packages. 🫰 Which means; EVERY DAY you are settling for less in a role where you are undervalued. #rec2rec #hiring #london #technology #salary #market #insights #priority #search

Here are 3 reasons why you’re hiring is not going as planned: 1. Rushing into hiring due to workload pressures. 2. Skipping to clearly define the criteria for success in the role and what the job holder should look like. 3. Overlooking the significance of interpersonal skills, and solely focusing on technical proficiency. If you’ve had a hard time with hiring, you’re not alone. It’s normal because dealing with people is never perfect. But you can improve your chances of finding the right person by truly knowing the job and the team. Look for someone who not only fills the role but also brings new ideas. It’s important that they fit well with the team and can work together smoothly, building trust and cooperation.

Why companies are not getting the perfect candidate? Whether it's for MNCs, small companies, or startups, hiring the perfect match as per the manager's requirement is always challenging. Many companies focus on hiring the 'perfect match', which may just be another myth. It's always going to be challenging for you if you desire to source and hire the exact perfect candidate for the role the company is hiring for. It's the company and managers who train capable candidates with a similar and strong skill set as per the role requirements. Instead of focusing on the perfect candidate, let's focus on candidates who are actually willing to work on their skill sets, which align with their personal and the company's goals. #recruitment #hiring #mondaythoughts

Dear hiring managers (that means ANYONE hiring someone right now)... you know what REALLY doesn't matter? An employment gap. You know what matters: Do they have the skills to do the job and would they be a POSITIVE part of the team. Everything else usually is filler. Seriously. Have a process, know what skills you need/jobs to be done. - Keep it consistent, and have REAL conversations with your candidates. Having more than 5 people involved in the hiring process is a colossal waste of time, money and energy. ---------- p.s. I a NOT a recruiter. I have had the privilege of hiring hundreds of people and lately have helped dozens of startups in their hiring processes. I currently advise companies on marketing and operations, and one of the easiest ways I am improving their business is to help them find the right people to solve the problems they have. Stop wasting everyone's time. (and that VP who spends months trying to fill a position, clear sign you need a new VP)
