Talent Acquisition Is Back!

Labor market rebound. Are you ready? Listening to talk to his boss during the hiring manager's decision ... "Do not worry, candidates are waiting for us. We are the ones who have jobs. The market is still tough, "said Dave to his superiors. Three weeks later ... "I really think we got this one! I mean, it was a great opportunity and move them. Look, I'm sorry. I do not think they are going to take another job. I know it is a loss for our competitors. I promise, it will not happen again ", said Dave.The pairs, and in some sectors has changed. Talk with recruiters in the software arena. It is heating up again! If you have not already, now is the time to analyze and tighten your recruitment process. A number of companies, which may have a strong recruitment process in the past, leaving their skills over the last few years. 

The reasons are varied. Action can be cut back and the HR recruitment team, Restructuring, and perhaps most significantly, the company not only in the mode of recruitment and organization, as the people in it, losing skills if we see Dave used.Let again. The first mistake, he thought he had plenty of time. The people are really great, especially passive candidates, not necessarily waiting for a chance. They are important in every market. The second and third errors children do not have a solid process in place "expects wing it" and not investing the time required to develop new qualified employees. Perhaps, see the resume, the interview and talking with candidates, including one he lost, not crisp, disciplined and thoughtful. When you hire a professional, the company has made significant investment.If give you $ 110,000 to buy resources for your company, due diligence is required. 

You are very clear about the requirements and needs that have to meet the new resource. You will understand the specs and you will be checking references by other customers. You also understand that the price and availability of resources that can be changed if too much time passes. Bringing a new source of human capital requires both discipline and more.The next time you are going to hire, treat the process with the same detailed consideration would you give to any important project. Be very clear on the requirements and specifications I know the staff promote team 3 positions and can effectively interview and train them? Develop a timeline that includes appropriate communication and check-in, the devil is in the details The next step is painting the picture form the context for the position you are going to hire. Figure painting is important for management positions tend to be complex, fluid and placed in a matrix-ed organizations.
