Leadership
New Year, same me?
❌ So many companies will fill their websites with initiatives and feel like they’ve done enough.
Actions > Lip service
For example:
Want to prove how dedicated you are to DE&I?
? Talk about your “dedication to diversity” on your website. Do nothing else.
VS
✅ Use resume-free screening to eliminate unconscious bias
✅ Screen 100% of applicants to give everyone a fair + equitable chance
✅ Weigh applicants apples to apples and quickly identify who is most qualified based only on their fit for the role
Talent Acquisition Problems
Sometimes it feels like there is a big divide between recruiters and hiring managers. These numbers prove that feeling is real.
Both sides are frustrated but what can fix it?
Data > Feelings. Having empirical data helps ease this tension and gets recruiters and hiring managers on the same page.
TA leaders, have you run into this contradiction?
Hiring managers, have you ever felt like you aren’t interviewing the right candidates?
Resumes
“Our process is perfect, no need to make any changes.”
If you can say that you:
– Screen 100% of applicants ?
– Never ghost anyone ?
– Have hiring managers who are happy and engaged ?
– Consistently hire the right candidates with record time to fill ?
– AND have eliminated unconscious bias from screening ⚖️
Then you are right, that’s a pretty ideal ?.
If you can’t say all of those things yet or if you’re using 2023 to improve your hiring process… You might want to consider the underlying cause that you’re struggling.
RESUMES.
Using resumes as the main source of truth and building your process around them is a thing of the past. It is 2023, we can and should do better.
Ditch the resume. Hire Smarter.
Candidate Experience
? “Stressful” and “time-consuming”
Do these words describe your applicant experience?
If you’re thinking the answer is “no”… are you so sure about that?
3 out of 4 job seekers are frustrated with the process.
Could you be losing out on great talent?
Leadership
This is one of my favorite speeches of all time. I feel like this speech captures exactly how I feel about life. Nothing more here…I hope you enjoy it and receive as much inspiration from it as I have.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
