You will get hiring wrong. That’s the reality. Even in recruitment 👀 I know this may sound ironic, but even as a headhunter, I have: 🧩 Mis-hired for my own team. 🚀 Grown too quickly. ⌛ Took too long to part ways with someone. So, it really goes to show, no matter if you’re a Founder, People leader or recruiter, hiring is hard. You will get it wrong, but the key is to learn from those mistakes and evolve your hiring process to give yourself a better chance of getting it right 💪🏽 What are your top hiring tips? #Hiring #Recruitment #ExecutiveSearch ----------------------------------------------------- 💡 Follow me, James Mitra for more stories on careers, mentorship & building JBM. ♻️ Repost this if you think it can help someone in your network and let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Every interaction, from the first email to the final interview, shapes their impression of your company. To attract the best, ensure your hiring process is:  • 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁: Share timelines and expectations upfront.  • 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲: Keep candidates updated throughout the process.  • 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹: Provide feedback, even if they’re not selected.   Remember, an update with no further information is still an update. Candidates will appreciate this.    The smoother and more engaging the experience, the more likely you’ll land top talent.

🎉 Happy Global Talent Acquisition Day! 🌍 In the world of #Talent #Acquisition, every day is an adventure. Whether we’re navigating through a sea of resumes, convincing top talent to join our teams, or trying to explain to hiring managers why “immediately available” and “perfect fit” don’t always go hand in hand, we’re the heroes of the workplace. Let’s be honest – we’ve all been there: * Scheduling interviews across different time zones like it’s a normal Tuesday. * Finding that elusive “unicorn” candidate who has 10 years of experience with a technology that’s been around for 5. * Juggling job descriptions that want a combination of rocket scientist, mind reader, and magician. Today, we #celebrate our #resilience, our #dedication, and yes, our sense of humor. Because let’s be real, if you’re not laughing in Talent Acquisition, you’re doing it wrong! So, let’s laugh at the chaos, celebrate the wins, and remember that every “Thank you for the smooth recruitment process!” makes it all worth it. Keep #calm and keep #sourcing! 🚀 #GlobalTalentAcquisitionDay #TAPros #RecruitmentHumor #HiringWizards #HiringWithHeart #WorkHardLaughHard #linkedln #recruiters #talentaquisition #humanresource #connections #sourcing #HR

I've noticed a recurring theme lately as I have been deep inside of the business development world. Many companies are hesitant to engage external agencies because they're inundated with over 200 applicants for open positions, which often remain unfilled for months. What surprises me most is the significant time required to sift through such a large applicant pool. For hiring managers and HR professionals, finding top talent isn't always their main focus, competing with various other responsibilities. From my own experience, I know that posting job descriptions on platforms like LinkedIn or Indeed doesn't guarantee a flood of perfectly qualified candidates; it often means hours of review to find just one suitable match. With over six years in this field, I question why hiring managers still equate a high volume of applicants with success. Having access to a network of referrals, an internal database, and pre-vetted candidates, I believe there's a smarter, more efficient approach to talent acquisition. Let's shift our focus to working smarter, not harder. While I may be biased, I'm confident that my services can deliver top-tier talent and expedite the hiring process, resulting in successful placements within weeks rather than months.

"I promise I haven't forgotten about you..." That's all it takes. Genuinely. And sincerely. And I mean it with all my heart. Recruiters talk to hundreds of candidates each quarter, and its easy to forget to follow up with candidates...whether: 🚫they're not a fit for a role 🚫a hiring manager didn't get back to us 🚫the role was filled But no matter the circumstance, no candidate deserves to be ghosted; intentional or not. So...stay in touch with your candidates. Keep them in the loop. Update them. Even if there's no update. That's all. #technicalrecruiting #recruting #hiring #candidates #feedback #dontbeanasshole
