Reputation RULES! The reputation of your organization is going to dictate how well you attract and retain top talent. Read that again The reputation of your organization is going to dictate how well you attract and retain top talent. It doesn’t matter how pretty the office is Or that you have Beer Fridays to celebrate weekly wins Or that you pay really well or have tremendous benefits Yes, of course, all of those things matter but they don’t move the needle on their own. They are add ons if all of the necessary boxes are checked. What do your employees say about you? What do your customers say about you? What do your former employees say about you? What does the market say about you? There are companies that cheerlead for themselves on social media and there is nothing wrong with that. Many companies should do far more of it than they do! But it is what OTHERS are saying that largely shapes and frames the reputation of your organization. When those OUTSIDE of the organization become cheerleaders and advocate, THEN you know you have a good thing going! And talent wants to be part of that good thing going!!!

Where is your next great hire coming from? It’s a question every hiring manager asks regularly Candidates arrive from a variety of sources: -Direct applicants -Internal HR/TA generated candidates -3rd party recruiters -Internal referrals These are all great sources for quality candidates; each effective in their own way But the one thing many hiring managers is missing out on is senior talent I’m not talking about senior level employees More senior aged employees (but since we can’t talk/ask age let’s call it the VERY experienced!) Employers undervalue this group in the job market. Everyone wants to hire a budding superstar for their second and career-ending role. They don't want to train anyone for their first role. This illusion of hiring youth so that they can spend their career at your company is ideal but myopic. People of all ages are seeing shorter durations and stints with their employers. If you're considering hiring a candidate with under 10 years left in their career (or as little as 5), JUMP at that person as soon as you qualify them! Why? Loyalty-these folks want one more great run to run out their career. They’re not looking to keep bouncing around. Treat them well and they’ll be with you for 3, 5, 10 years. And trust me, if you can hire a great employee and ONLY get 3 great years out of them, do it today!

Why Car Dealerships are Struggling to Remain Profitable Right Now?? Car dealerships are currently facing several significant challenges that are impacting their profitability: Supply Chain Disruptions: A parts shortage has cut vehicle production. This has led to fewer cars for sale. Rising Costs: Inflation and high energy prices have raised dealership expenses, squeezing profits. Shift to Electric Vehicles (EVs): We need to invest in new infrastructure and training for the shift to EVs. This adds financial strain on dealerships. Changing Consumer Behavior: More consumers are buying cars online, bypassing traditional dealerships. This trend forces dealerships to invest heavily in digital capabilities. Increased Competition: Online retailers like Carvana and Vroom offer easy car buying. This intensifies competition and pressures dealerships to improve their services and prices. Economic Uncertainty: Higher interest rates are reducing consumers' purchasing power. This is leading to lower car sales. To stay profitable, dealerships must adapt online, diversify revenue, invest in EV infrastructure, and excel in customer service. These strategies can help them face today's challenges and build a better future.

Do the Dog Days of Summer = No hiring? It doesn't have to be if you have open roles. Let's break it down: Is there an urgency to act? Or can acting wait until after Labor Day? Are they seeing an abundance of qualified candidates? If so, I’d be curious as to what field that is in! The reality is, Summer is a GREAT time for hiring managers to distinguish themselves from other organizations! Act with urgency Aggressively move candidates through your pipeline Be decisive Accelerate start dates In other words, act as if it’s not Summer and your job depends on it Because it does Talent is still EXTREMELY hard to find I had a client who is desperate for a qualified candidate for a very hard to fill role We identified and submitted a superstar The reply was, I would like to talk to him-see what his availability is next week Next week? It’s Tuesday? You could wrap your process THIS week if you CHOOSE to! Quality candidates disappear VERY quickly Do not take your foot off the gas pedal just because it is Summer!

“Why won't you call when I’m at my desk and not on my phone??” Hopefully that got a giggle out of some of you! We were retained several years ago by a healthcare facility who wanted (needed) help with their recruiting function. I met with the COO/CFO regularly and the president occasionally. We got “under the hood” to see what was happening in HR/recruiting. There were a multitude of recurring takeaways: -HR prioritized onboarding/paperwork/employee relations over recruiting -HR refused to enhance their own LinkedIn profiles and utilize LinkedIn as an online tool/resource -HR would not share a cell number with candidates so they could only be reached when physically at their desk -HR adopted an attitude that it was the candidate’s responsibility to make sure the process was going forward Direct quote: ”I’d be able to schedule a lot more interviews if these candidates would just call me back when I am at my desk!” SERIOUSLY??? Did you just say that aloud??? Reviewing the takeaways above: Does the candidate have your cell number to reach you after hours? No Are you staying late a night or 2 a week to make yourself available “after hours” for things as critical as scheduling interviews? No Are you showcasing yourself and your organization on social media (LinkedIn) so they can see you are a professional and you’re able to highlight open roles you’re working on? No Is it really any wonder how and why you’re not filling these openings? Folks, recruiting is a production role-it’s not a support role. Your people are your most valuable resource. I don’t care if you are in HR, a recruiter/TA professional, a hiring manager or president/owner-you MUST be recruiting all the time and SELLING your organization and opportunities. Your LinkedIn profile IS your digital website (much more so than your website). Your accessibility speaks volumes about how much ownership you take in your role and what critical functions it is. Own your role in the process!
