Did you know that every business is legally required to have a good hiring process? Many small business owners don’t take the time to create effective talent acquisition systems, but this could end up costing them — in more ways than one. 

According to Patrick Valtin, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) can take action against your company if it finds out that you don't have fair and documented hiring systems in place. Therefore, taking the time to develop an efficient hiring process can save you a lot of frustration in the form of lawsuits or fines. But, this isn’t the only way that recruiting systems can save your business. As Patrick says, incorporating more steps into your talent acquisition process can help you boost your team’s performance, improve your company’s happiness index, and much more. 

In this episode of the Systems Simplified podcast, Adi Klevit is joined by Patrick Valtin, the CEO of HireBox, to talk about the importance of implementing systems in your hiring process. Patrick discusses the common mistakes recruiters make when hiring new talent and shares his advice for evaluating a candidate’s honesty and soft skills.
