Recruiting these days is challenging, whether a world-wide conglomeration or a small, growing start-up.
Expectations are high, you are counted on to find that “gem.”
Speed is of the essence, leaner teams and even leaner budgets mean you must choose the provider of this “treasure” from a broad choice of suppliers, who each hold a vast pool of unqualified and unsuitable candidates.
Stressful, it often results in failure or a long-drawn-out exercise to find that “diamond” your organisation needed.
The role of an HR professional is now strategic – to build the employers brand to ensure that it is attractive to future talent who are not pro-active job seekers. The ‘best’ is only on the market for a short time to attract the non-active job seeker who matches the mission, vision, values, and company culture. Neglecting the attraction of direct application job seekers to your brand has a negative effect on the decision by top talent to say yes to an offer.
On the other end of the scale is the smaller company, new talent is vital to growth but where one person is expected to take on the search alongside their normal job role resulting in an imbalance of responsibility. Hiring time factors can reduce efficiency and productivity to the determent of the business but also impact on the expected quality of the recruited person.
So, todays search for Talent is vital, but the recruitment industry has evolved dramatically. The initial excitement of instant online job postings replacing the weekly wait for newspaper ads, expanding the reach beyond the local catchment area. This has revolutionised hiring—more applicants, faster—but also created new challenges: increased screening time and little to no time left for decline responses. As a result, job seekers often feel frustrated, unaware of the sheer volume of applications employers must manage. Many adopt a “spray and pray” approach, applying to everything in the hope of being noticed.
Ultimately, time has become the greatest challenge for both employers and job seekers, transforming what should be an elegant plaza hiring process into an overwhelming, chaotic flea-marketplace.
