Hiring Managers Don't Blame Yourself

Hello Hiring Managers!

Do you blame yourself when an employee is fired for reasons that can include under-performance issues or the wrong qualifications?

Instead of blaming yourself managers should review their hiring strategies and think about changing the way things are done in their office.

Reviewing your hiring strategies and procedures on a regular basis can help specify exact problem areas that are in need of improvements.

Re-evaluate your hiring procedures to find the fine-line between over and under hiring employees.

Over-hiring causes employees who are frequently bored with their positions. Staffing cuts are another downside to have too many employees in the office.

A department manager should evaluate the job requirements for position and evaluate the skills that the job posting is advertising for.

It doesn't matter what job you are hiring for but remember the benefits of a pre-employment screening firm.

Forecasts are a 29 % increase in full-time permanent employee openings, a sharp rise from 2009. With a priority focus on hiring technology and revenue generation positions, followed by business development, marketing and sales roles; it is prudent for organizations to position themselves to attract talent by optimizing their recruitment tactics.

A hiring plan should respond to a stronger employment picture and can provide competitive advantages, “right time” advantages, and lowered costs.

A well defined profile will help screen applicants.

It allows earlier short-listing progression; serving the recruiter to write better targeted ads and screen responses.

If you are only recruiting from your local 90% all White college and not bothering to recruit from a college that has a larger percentage of minorities, you could be creating disparate impact upon minorities.

The target compensation must be sufficient to attract candidates at the level of the hirer’s expectation.

Most poor hiring decisions are often a consequence of an inadequate pool of candidates. This is usually caused by ineffective sourcing activities.

Great points, Sunanda! Hiring managers often carry the blame for employee turnover, but it’s really about continuously improving the hiring process. Regularly reviewing job descriptions, sourcing strategies, and screening methods can help ensure a better fit between candidates and roles. Also, embracing diversity in recruitment pools not only widens the talent base but fosters innovation and inclusion. Ultimately, a strategic hiring plan aligned with business goals is key to reducing costly mis-hires and building a strong workforce. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights!
