Keep your candidates informed. This is Brian D. Vogt's most frequent piece of advice for his clients. In the talent world, needs change all the time. Sometimes hiring processes need to slow down or even be put on pause. Brian always reminds his clients that this is perfectly fine, but that it is best to make sure you communicate with your candidates. This creates the most mutually beneficial relationship with all parties. #communication #hiring #executivesearch

When in doubt, go find out. "One of the unique aspects of my job is that I spend just as much time talking to hiring managers about how to hire more effectively as I do with candidates about how to make better job decisions, whether they're staying or leaving. I love that I play for both sides. In the past, I have worked with hiring managers who only wanted to interview folks if they absolutely believed that, based on their resume and some conversation that we had when I represented them, they were absolutely hands down a fit for the job. And usually that was okay. But times have changed, and if you ever watch the best recruiters, whether it be college coaches or professional sports, they actually start recruiting years before the talent that they want becomes available. It's an intentional strategy." This is an excerpt from the most recent Talent Trade Episode with Stephanie Maas. In the 6-minute episode, she explains why having a conversation - with a recruiter, a candidate, or a potential employer -- can be the best thing for your career -- even if you are not looking.
