Everyone should mind their own scope of work. Director or owner of the company is not necessarily a great HR. I do not remember ever any Director or owner of the company cleaning their office. They are sure this job is best done by cleaning ladies. But when it comes to recruiting, here we go again - "Recruiter/HR has no clue, why should we hire/listen to them". Director knows best. And process of finding right person becomes endless. It really stretches for years. And director is upset, and team who needs new members is upset, and candidates have no idea why they are rejected and it just never ends! Guys, let us all mind our own scope of work. It will definitely not make things worse.

Never assume anything in HR You must always understand why you are doing something. Story time 📚 👩🏻🦱Polly is the manager in a small team. 🐨You work in HR. 👩🏻🦱Polly approaches you and asks what one of her team member's notice period is. 🐨You have 2 options.... Option 1: - You look at the employee's file. - Find their contract. - Advise the manager that they have 2 weeks' notice period and move on with your day. ✔️ You've been helpful? ✔️ You've answered the question? ✔️ You've made the manager happy? Right? OR Option 2: - Ask "what's going on?" while you find out ❓Has the employee resigned? ❓Is there a problem with the employee's performance? ❓Is the manager future-proofing their team structure? Are they restructuring their team? Do they need HR assistance that they haven't considered? I can hear you thinking 🤔 It's such a simple question with such a simple answer. No, it's not. Easiest situation - the employee has resigned, the manager checks notice period and they agree an end date in line with the contract. Worst case - the manager has planned a team restructure, has identified a position is no longer needed and plans to make that person redundant so needs to know their notice period and you know nothing about this 🤦🏻♀️ and there's a whole lot of options in between..... You won't know what the manager is thinking unless you ask! That's why it's important to build relationships and know your managers so you are confident to ask "what's going on?" Have you ever had a curve ball thrown in a situation like this? ------------------- 👋 Hi, my name is Rebecca, and I'm passionate about People.

It is a beyond doubt that across the broad spectrum of Organisational functions, HR Managers are the most overlooked human beings. Many perceive them as invisible humans beings existing solely for sending motivational workshop emails, organizational announcements, appraisal notifications, and so forth. Believe it or not, they also are among the most disliked personnel in any Organization. People hate them for their appraisals when they are only just relaying the details that someone else has scripted for them. People hate them for resignations when largely the HR has no role to play in it unless it is a behavioral influenced departure. And if that is not fair, what is even worse is when Hiring Managers treat HRs as their personnel secretary. The Recruiters endure the arduous task of sifting through thousands of resumes, making numerous calls, and finally scheduling elusive interviews with candidates. Yet, Hiring Managers, often senior sales or business professionals, cancel interviews last-minute, citing mundane reasons such as extended meetings, leaving both the candidate and HR bewildered. And what is truly deplorable is when the hiring manager would not even care to come over the call and apprise it himself instead pushes the HR to do his responsibility. To all Hiring Managers out there, HR Managers/ Recruiters are not your assistants. If you have missed a pre planned schedule that an HR has scheduled for you, then honor it and if you cant, make sure you personally apologize and reschedule it on your own. They already have their fair share of fights, let us not make it anymore difficult for them. Ps : I know wat you are thinking. No I am not an HR, but I understand their immense value in my Business.

Before we start looking for new employees, let's figure out exactly what skills and characteristics your team needs 🤔 The ideal employee is not just someone who does their job well, but also someone who is suitable for your team and company. Therefore Step 1: Determine your ideal sample What does your ideal employee look like? What are his skills, qualities and experience? Consider the successful employees you already have on your team and determine what makes them so effective. And get your ideal picture out of your head And then we have Step 2: The importance of coordination Do not forget about the importance of coordination between HR and management. Communication and coordination will help clarify the selection criteria and avoid misunderstandings. And there can be sooo many misunderstandings, especially if the manager is very demanding and does not understand all the subtleties of hiring. This is such an overbearing type who does not want to hear anything, and he just needs a result. Or maybe it's worth coordinating regularly, clarifying and pronouncing everything? still interested in hiring. Is it precisely this kind of exactingness that will lead the candidate faster? #system_in_business

It's all-too-easy to leave things in limbo in HR. We have countless conversations. And are juggling multiple situations. Things can slip. If you’re looking for a quick way to stand out as an HR pro? Implement a system to ensure that you always: Proactively follow-up. My system? Slack reminders to myself with 1) the to-do and 2) the reminder to follow-up. Your tool of choice doesn’t matter – the action does. Proactive follow-up communicates: ✅ Care ✅ Reliability ✅ Leadership ✅ Commitment ✅ Accountability ✅ Responsiveness Establish your system. Proactively follow-up. Your career will thank you. --------------------------------------------------------- ♻ Repost if you found this helpful and follow me, Amy Mencarelli, to grow your HR career.

Expert HR Career Coach | Specializing in Transforming Mid-Level HR Professionals into Top Candidates for Snr Level HR Roles | Strategic HR Career Coaching and Mentoring.
You know the stakes are high ! Job changes at senior HR level can be really scary. The biggest cause of worry is culture-fit. I know you likely checked out the videos the company has put on thier website of employees giving feedback about how a great place to work the organization is. If you are being strategic that would not be your only data point (you know the videos are part of the company’s EVP marketing pack right! ) So let’s talk about this quickly shall we, how can you quickly read the room while also putting your best foot forward during your interviews. Check out the pointers below👇 🔹 Pay Attention To Interactions: I am not just talking about the interactions with the interviewing team. I mean all interactions of everyone you encounter. From the reception to employees doing thier job. Can you sense mutual respect for all in the team? A willingness to help others across board? Or tension, in-fighting and a sink or swim environment? Pay closer attention to the interactions of team members that are middle management and below. Pay close attention to the interactions speak volumes. 🔹Prepare the Right Follow Up Questions: I know you would have made a list of questions, the usual questions to ask about - employee retention rates, employee engagement data and things like that . The key here is to prepare the right follow up questions to probe further and uncover the unspoken challenges and then listen for transparency. 🔹 Listen to thier version of the story: Listen closely to how the interviewing team describes current people challenges. Do they take any responsibility for historic challenges or is it presented as a We versus Them situation ? This can indicate there is a lack of ownership of people challenges by the SMT and soon you might be the opposition. I know you have a lot riding on this interview, for various reasons there could be pressure both push and pull on you to make this next move. But remember the more senior you are in HR the more your next moves need to be considered carefully. Can you think of a couple more points to add to your interview pointer list? First comment below to see how I support Senior Level HR Candidates to successfully make thier next career transition.

The Importance of Transparent Communication in HR: A Personal Experience In today's competitive job market, transparency is key to building trust between employers and candidates. Unfortunately, my recent experience with a company's HR department highlighted the pitfalls of opaque communication during the hiring process. After successfully navigating two rounds of interviews and being offered a Managerial role, I was eager to join the team. However, during the HR discussion, I was blindsided by the revelation that my salary expectations were deemed too high, despite being previously discussed and agreed upon. This abrupt change in stance left me feeling undervalued and disheartened. What followed was even more disconcerting. The HR department ceased communication, ignoring my calls and emails, leaving me in limbo for over a month. Finally, after persistent follow-ups, they responded, albeit vaguely, stating that my profile was on hold due to compensation concerns. This experience underscores the need for HR departments to adopt a more transparent approach in their dealings with candidates. Clear and open communication about salary expectations and any potential issues should be prioritized from the outset. If there are concerns about compensation, candidates deserve to be informed promptly and respectfully, rather than being left in the dark. Furthermore, HR professionals should recognize the impact of their actions on a candidate's perception of the company. Ghosting applicants after they've invested time and effort in the interview process not only reflects poorly on the organization but also damages its reputation in the eyes of potential hires. In conclusion, HR departments must strive to uphold transparency and professionalism throughout the hiring process. By doing so, they can foster positive relationships with candidates, enhance the employer brand, and ultimately, attract and retain top talent. #HRcandobetter PS: It's their loss they lost a gem like me 😊😁 Did you guys ever get ghosted like this after clearing the rounds and HR discussion. Do share your experiences.
