It's been really interesting hearing the range of different hiring plans in this build up to the Christmas period. For some, hiring may be the last thing on their mind at the moment. From what I'm seeing though, many are all systems go and are hiring very heavily across new and existing vacancies. As we continue to fly through this year, I'd be curious to catch up with those in my network eager to chat about how they plan to attack hiring in the coming months. Coffee on me ☕ #hiring #technologyrecruitment

I know someone that, I believe, was well qualified for a role they were interviewing for. The hiring process had 5+ interviews and a case study. They were doing great in the interviews, but during the process, they’re current job got extremely busy along with other things in their personal life. This person ended up having to drop out because they couldn’t put the time or energy they wanted into it. Companies that have hiring processes like these push away people that are qualified for the role, but don’t have enough time and/or energy to complete the process. Or aren’t able to give 100% because the company is actually asking for 150% or more. You need a better hiring process!

Adam Karpiak, this is very on point. Here are 4 easy steps to land the people you need to grow your business: * Identify the core components of what is actually needed for the job. * Work with your internal recruiting teams and external recruiting partners to formalize a strategy for attracting and screening the talent appropriately. * Remove the impossible barriers to entry * Hire the right candidate

Sad+true 😪🤷 wouldn't be awesome if HR professionals start to change the mindset, just a little bit? At the end of the day, what matters most is the hability to solve problems 'outside the box', as we are all human beings and therefore unique in the way we approach them. Or at least it should be, don't you think? #HR #humanresources #hiring

All I Can Really Say Is LinkedIn Is A Real Resource Where Recruiters Live. And It's The Sub Par Job Search Sites That Create A Stigma For Recruiters And Applicants Alike. LinkedIn Has Gotten Me VOLUNTARY Job Offers With 0 Initiation. I Didnt Seek The Positions, They Sought Me Out! On The Other Hand, Sites Like Indeed Have A Great Reputation But... Step 1. Create An Account Step 2. Upload Or Create Your Resume. Step 3. Search For Job Step 4. Quickly Apply And Submit With A Few Buttons! Sounds Simple Right!?! Step 5. Respond To Default Automated Email Saying To Complete Application Process, It's Currently Incomplete(No Human Interaction Yet) Step 6. Respond To Default Automated Email About Logging Into Indeed To Take Quizzes Or Test For The Position. So I'm Logging Back Into Indeed For The Same Position? (No Human Interaction Still) Step 7. Respond To Default Automated Email From Human Name Which Is Still Indeed Saying " You Might Be A Good Fit For This Job" Even Though The Automated System Also Told You, The Company Has Moved On To Other Candidates, Before You Even Realize You Were Actually A Candidate. (And Yes, Still No Human Contact) Step 8. Resorting To Going To The Potential Employers Own Corporate Website And Applying Directly. Indeed Should've Just Linked Me To The Real Application Just Like LinkedIn Does. Then I Know For Sure A Recruiter In HR Has My App In Their System. And LinkedIn Easy Apply Will Result In That Recruiter Actually Traveling To Your Profile To Get A More Detailed Impression Of You! If A New Born Infant Has No Physical Contact With Other Humans, It Will Die. If Your Candidate Has No Physical Contact With Human Resources How Does Your Business Stay Alive?

You may not like this, but I have contacted my congressional delegation to investigate as to why it's become so impossible to be interviewed for jobs when computers are being used to determine who is eligible to speak to someone. You have people that are coming back into the workplace who have gaps and not even being considered for positions. I have talked to different recruiters and discovered that an average review of a résumé is no more than three seconds! This is an insult to anyone applying for work given that they have worked weeks maybe months to create an honest to goodness résumé. Computers cannot tell why you have gaps. It cannot tell if you had health issues. It will not tell an employer that you have spent years studying various software to become eligible and qualified even if you didn't go to college. It also has been found that data about yourself is incorporated without your knowledge into a lot of the hiring process without your consent. I learned of these unethical practices. It is not fair that companies will not take the time to carefully review a résumé from a human heart perspective, than from a cold computer algorithm. I come from the time when we read the text books and did the job.

What do you think about this hiring process? Is it ideal? Is it a good move? Are smart hard to work with? I will love to hear from you. Share your thoughts below.
