From June to August, 50% of hiring managers and candidates are out of the office at some point. As a result, some employers think the summer is the worst time to hire. Others view it as a great time to snag top candidates while there's less competition. If you're hiring this summer: ➡️Be realistic about timing. Things move slower in the summer. It's normal for hiring to move slower as well. Make sure you communicate that to candidates. ➡️Manage expectations. Always try to give candidates an accurate depiction of what they can expect at each step of your process. ➡️Time kills all deals, no matter the time of year. Even though things might be slower in the summer, don't let things linger so long that the best candidate slips away.

Caught up with a friend recently who left his Executive Recruiter role at JP Morgan to join a fast-growing software start-up instead of hiring MDs. What he told me just confirmed what I’ve been seeing in the job market. At the start-up, they’re moving FAST. 3-4 interviews, all remote, decision within a week. No dragging candidates through 7 rounds of interviews, no lengthy case studies, no waiting 3 months for a hire. They get right to the point. Here’s why it’s working for them: ➜ Streamlined process: Their hiring decisions are made quickly because they don’t waste time. Candidates are in and out in days, not weeks or months. ➜ Genuine values: They’re upfront, treat candidates with respect, and people can feel it from the first interview. No fake ‘we’re a family’ talk. ➜ Results, not process: They don’t overcomplicate things. They hire fast, work hard, and then go enjoy their lives with family and friends. Big companies should take note. If getting hired at your company is harder than winning a Nobel Prize it might be time to rethink your hiring process. If you want to make great hires, stop dragging it out and get real with people. #Hiring #JobSearch #TechStartups #Recruitment #GetHired #CSG

5 Key hiring considerations for the end of 2024: 1) If you have budget, go to market now before you lose it! 2) Great pool of candidates now - Many of the top candidates hired in 2021/2022 are looking again. 3) Bonus buy out - Most companies are doing this, please take this into consideration ahead of a Q1 start for those with 3+ month notice periods. 4) Go to market in September and you will get them started before Christmas - 5) Now that a lot of clients are back from summer holidays, there will be increased competition. An efficient process will ensure you secure your candidate first!

Hiring decisions should take a few days. Any company taking longer than that is giving all the best talent away for no reason. The world has changed. If hiring becomes a full-time job in of itself, then something is horribly wrong. 3 month hiring processes are dead. <<<>>> ✍️ Would you enter a 3 month hiring process?  ♻️ Reshare if you found this helpful.

I appreciate a company that is committed to change working conditions for it's current employees and not rushing them. I think for some industries (possibly most?), agility and flexibility can be much more important than speed.
