Happy Halloween (and more) from Hirewell
I hope you all had a happy (and safe) Halloween. The team at Hirewell had a blast. We’ve got a couple of videos to share this week. The first is about candidates ghosting recruiters.
If that's not scary enough for you - we've also got a talent rant from James Hornick and Jeff Smith. They debate hiring vs. retention.
Recruiting Reality [Ep 13] Ghosting is for Halloween, NOT Recruiters
In this Halloween Special of Recruiting Reality, Liz and Shania talk about the scary reality of candidates ghosting their recruiters. Tune in to hear the most common ways that ghosting occurs and why you should always close the loop.
The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 76 "The Disconnect Between Hiring and Retention"
Hiring leaders want the best. People with strong skills who fit very specific skill needs. No one ever says they’ll hire someone who is “pretty good at a bunch of stuff.”
Yet come layoff time, that’s who they prioritize retaining. Those who can take on the most workload. The old “do more with less.”
Hire for specialization. Retain for breadth.
Why is that? And can layoff decision-making teach us how we should change our hiring process? Jeff Smith and James Hornick discuss in the next The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 76 "The Disconnect Between Hiring and Retention"
Thanks for tuning in!
