The Talent Tango

People love complaining and you tend to hear more about the negative than the positive.

Getting feedback on your interview process is a challenge.

The more feedback you and your team can get, the better adjustments to the candidate experience can be made.

We talk about how important it is to treat your interview process like it's being judged every step of the way because it is!

Repeat business is the best business.

Getting your business relationship on a first name basis is the ultimate success.

The repeat part comes from providing value and maintaining dialogue on a consistent basis.

Who do you give repeat business to? Amazon? Costco? Nordstrom? 🤔

Resumes are CONTENT! If your content (aka resume) isn't engaging, you won't get a call back anymore.

Think with the end in mind when crafting your resume. Who is going to consuming your content?

Make sure it's filled with engaging facts about your background that tell your best story.

The goal of a resume is to get the "call" and then you take it from there.

Me, me, me…but, it's not about YOU!

Partnering means, understanding what the other person/team/client needs.

You can't solve a problem without identifying what the business needs are.

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about building better relationships between recruiters (internal/external) and hiring managers. And a lot of this is driven by how much value you can provide.

An open job order is a project. And all projects have time, budget, scope.

Applying those aspects to the recruitment process will give all stakeholders a better chance for success.

Listen to hear our discussion about how treating job orders as projects allows you to make sure you are managing stakeholder expectations.

Your resume should tell the best story of you.

A hiring manager only spends so long reviewing before making a decision.

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about the resume's context and how that could be the difference in getting an interview or not. And sometimes it's not just highlighting all the good, but calling out maybe the one thing missing.

Either way, candidates have many different avenues to showcase themselves and to offer more context into who they are.

Scorecards. Competencies. Process.

Many of our clients are beginning to share their hiring scorecards with us so that we can better understand how they are hiring. That allows us to better identify candidates that will be relevant to their search.

In this episode of the Daily 10, we're talking about hiring processes. We speak to many different organizations and we can see the differences between processes. Depending on maturity, we see impacts on the candidate experience and end result. And the companies that understand their companies are a step ahead!
