Intelligent Employment’s Post

Mid-summer celebrations are on this weekend here in the Nordics which means many people are shifting into vacation mode. I think its a good opportunity for Myth-busting time! 💥 As a hiring manager you may be faced with a situation that hiring that crucial addition to your team has not been done yet. Many say “Recruitment agencies should be fast and cheap.” This mentality sets everyone up for failure. Quality recruitment takes time and effort. You want someone who fits your company and stays to help it grow. Quick fixes don’t provide that. 🤸♀️ In my experience this can be a great time to set up a quality process with an external recruitment agency as this gives you a recruitment professional to manage expectations, communication and overall operational activities while you are on that much deserved time off. 🌞 Understanding your needs and finding the right match is everything. Don’t let myths lead to missed opportunities and poor hires. Invest in a thoughtful hiring process for better results. ✅ #recruitment #summer #talentacquisition Intelligent Employment

"Recruitment should be cheap and fast!" Do you agree? We believe this common misconception leads to unrealistic expectations and frustration for both agencies and hiring companies. Companies need their new hires to fit the role, align with the company culture, and contribute to long-term growth. A rushed process that only focuses on quickly filling the role can result in a poor investment, even if it seems cost-effective initially. Understanding your company’s needs, culture, and goals takes time. Finding and nurturing the right candidate takes time. It's time to debunk some of the biggest myths in recruitment. By challenging these misconceptions, we can set realistic expectations and ensure smoother, more successful hiring.

Most of us have experience with or an opinion about recruitment agencies. However, despite the seemingly homogenous industry niche, it is clear that the space is cluttered by thousands of different players, all with different focuses and ways of working. Unfortunately, a large chunk of the agencies out there have chosen a very pushy, almost aggressive approach with lots of big promises both on the client and the candidate side, despite minimal real engagement and loyalty. Even if the approach might yield some success short term, we are confident it won't be beneficial for anyone in the long run. And even worse, the approach defines the perception of the entire industry, which in turn leads to skepticism or unrealistic expectations and often unsatisfying results. And ultimately, that means fewer great matches of talent and jobs, with obvious implications for both individuals and companies. So what can we do about this? Why not start by being completely honest. No, we won't be delivering your next hire tomorrow. Here is why. https://lnkd.in/dSZTS9V6

Proactive Hiring: The Best Approach for Your Business Proactive hiring involves anticipating future needs and building a pool of potential candidates in advance. In today’s fast paced business environment, having the right talent at the right time is crucial. As a recruiter, I’ve seen first hand how proactive hiring can set businesses apart and here's a few ways how: Access to Top Talent: By continuously engaging with high-calibre candidates, you ensure that you have the best talent ready when you need them. Giving you an advantage over companies that scramble to fill positions at the last minute. Reduced Time-to-Hire: With a pipeline of pre-vetted candidates, filling positions becomes faster and more efficient. Enhanced Employer Brand: Consistent engagement with potential hires enhances your company’s reputation, making it a more attractive place to work. Better Cultural Fit: Thorough vetting of candidates, to ensure they align with your company’s values and culture. Leading to higher employee satisfaction and retention rates. Many successful companies prioritise proactive hiring and are better prepared for growth and change. Don’t wait until a position is vacant to start looking for the right candidate, start building your talent pipeline today.
