How to Hire Through the Plague of Lying, Ghosting & Absurd Demands with Rick Girard of Stride Search Inc.

Listen Later

We are neck-deep into a highly competitive job seeker’s market. What this means is that the feeding frenzy for talent has created a perfect storm for people to ask for a lot… and get it. The interview process has been plagued with bait and switch tactics, ridiculous compensation renegotiations (after the offer has been accepted), and outright ghosting once an offer is accepted.

The root of the issue is the transactional way your interview is being run. Evolving your phone screen into an in-depth “Discovery Call” is the first step to eliminate the huge time sink that results in a turned-down offer.

Today we are going to discuss the pivot that must take place in your hiring practice to align with what people really want. And it all starts with your first interaction.

Today we discuss:

  • The changes in candidate attitude and positioning 
  • How to eliminate the frustration & engage people at a more human level
    • Approach evolution
    • Here's what I am hearing from a lot of entrepreneurs
      • A lot of dishonesty 
      • People are being unreasonable when it comes to their demands

        • Challenge today?

        • People are lying on phone screens
        • Not showing up for interviews
        • people asking for ridiculous stuff
        • Problem: 
        • We still approach people with an “About us first” 
        • Educational approach with selling 
          • Needs to be done at the end of the phone screen
          • Practice of not negotiating 
            • Negotiating mitigated when people want it

              • Why is this important to the company?

              • Losing great talent 
              • It keeps you awake at night

                • Rick’s Nuggets

                • I believe that a lot of the challenges  are coming from two places:
                  • Speed
                    • Not taking the time to understand before selling
                    • Need
                      • Need to get this filled / off my plate

                        • How do we solve the problem?

                        • Your phone screen (aka: discovery call) sets the tone for the relationship
                          • If your transactional, expect that from the relationship
                          • If your adding value, expect that from the relationship
                          • Adding value:
                            • Seek to understand a person’s WHY (Career Wounds)
                              • What's broken in their career that you can fix
                              • What does this person want? (besides a job)
                                • Environment in which they will thrive
                                • Can they make an impact?
                                  • Past performance is a key indicator of future performance
                                  • Do they align with your opportunity?
                                    • Where do they fit, where they do NOT fit
                                    • How you solve their career wounds
                                    • Let them connect the dots for you
