Founder & CEO @ Pillar

Yesterday, Pillar hosted our July webinar with Katrina Kibben. Katrina guided us through some of their tips for aligning TA & Hiring Managers. There were so many valuable takeaways shared in an hour, but I wanted to post a few of the things that stuck with me: ✔ Solidifying recruiter & Hiring Manager alignment really all starts with holding an intake meeting. In fact, Kat believes that skipping the intake meeting is one of the top reasons time to fill keeps rising in organizations. ✔ Asking the right questions within an intake meeting is key. One of Kat’s favorite questions is -  You wake up, put on your pants, now what? Walk me through a day in the life of the role. ✔ Kat feels strongly that Hiring Managers shouldn’t write job descriptions. Recruiters must be job post writing experts and they must own job descriptions because they’re the primary artifacts of your recruiting function.  You can take a look at the full recording and our recap blog at the link in the comments if you’re interested.
