But remember, it’s not a reflection of your worth or abilities. Companies, let’s strive for better communication. A simple acknowledgment can make a world of difference. Let’s build a more respectful and transparent hiring process for everyone. 🌟

A recruiting agency owner asked me how to compete when more than one agency is working on a role. One way to ensure that you win the placement is with Hiring Events How to do a Hiring Event? Here's a done-for-you SOP Objective: To stand out among competitors utilizing hiring events as a game-changing strategy to fill roles efficiently and effectively. Key Steps: ✅ Introduce the Concept: When onboarding a client or taking a req, explain to the client that part of your proven process is Hiring Events ✅ Plan the Event: Set a date that works for all decision-makers involved. ✅ Gather a pool of potential candidates for the role. It's amazing to see how fast recruiters find candidates when there's a date already set for interviews. Execution: ✅ Conduct the hiring event virtually, or at your client's office or your office. My order of preference is 1) their office 2) your office 3) Zoom ✅ Schedule interviews with candidates and decision-makers. ✅ Allow time for feedback between interviews. ✅ Bring snacks!  ✅ Obtain feedback from decision-makers throughout the process. Decision-making: ✅ At the end of the day, based on feedback and discussions, select candidates to move forward in the hiring process. ✅ Proceed with necessary background checks and onboarding procedures for selected candidates. Cautionary Notes: ✅ Ensure clear communication with the client and candidates about the hiring event process. Let everyone know what to expect and be organized.  ✅ Keep track of time during interviews to maintain a structured and efficient schedule. ✅ Be prepared to handle multiple candidates and decision-makers simultaneously. Tip: ✅ Encourage your team to use the event as not only a way to fill one role but to deepen relationships with your client.

Shulin Lee is spot on with this post. Hire the right person, NOT the perfect resume. Yesterday I had a job interview. It felt like like I was being tested, it felt like I was taking a test versus participating in an interview. look for employees/candidates who has the "potential" to contribute to your organization/company. Look for employees who shares your company values. Look for employees who has and believe in your company's culture. It is not only about the "Resume" it is also about that future employee's "Potential". Shulin, thanks for sharing.
