Episode Highlights:
It is essential to narrow down the search during the hiring process to save time and effort.
When recruiting for a particular role, you need to search for suitable candidates. Interviewing countless people will not only waste the company's time but will be inefficient as well.
To enhance the company's impact, you need to set different standards for different roles.
A graphic designer cannot perform the role of a software developer. Hence, you need to hire different people for different positions.
You cannot be everywhere and handle everything. Hence, you need to place your HR in the right place.
For example, you cannot find pulses in a hardware store. Similarly, you need to look in specific places for particular candidates.
The internal talent intelligence team consists of employees who look out for the labor market and continuously analyze the macroeconomics of the world.
