Do you truly know the candidate you’re looking to hire? And will they fit long term? Had a great meeting with Troy Wiest yesterday at a well known Waukesha based company which got me thinking. During the conversation with their hiring leader, she described all of the aspects that are attractive to their ideal candidate - smaller team size, daily interaction with management and highly visible senior leadership team, great perks (for certain individuals) and fostering continuing education and development. She then described the benefits/traits of their number one local competitor, who is a much larger, nationally recognized organization. She shared that they do lose candidates to that organization, but it also goes both ways - some individuals who are feeling disenchanted with “being a number”, lacking the strong sense of community, and getting caught up in more politics. The part of the conversation that hit me deepest was her confidence in who they are and she wasn’t losing any sleep over the individuals who have left the org over the years. “If that’s the type of company they’re looking for, we wish them the best of luck…” In a competitive market, it isn’t just about hiring… it’s about hiring right.

🎈This is why nobody is HIRING you. It is simple. Because you are good. Because you are good, they see you as a threat to their own position. Plus they don't want to pay you what you deserve. You don't want to work there anyway. Good news : there are managers out there who don't see talent as a threat. They know - hire the best, and everyone wins. Your time will come soon ! #technology #humanresources #management #olegpost #hrgeneralist #hiring

Having trouble finding that perfect candidate in a tough candidate market? Are you ready to sweeten the pot? Hiring incentives in a tough market are worth considering. A little extra goes a long way when attracting top talent. This could be as simple as a small hiring bonus, a little extra in the vacation allotment, work-life balance incentive, or adding a bonus structure to the role if that is in your capacity. Senior talent are looking for a little more incentivization to consider jumping. Sometimes it takes a little honey to attract the bees.

🔹 Dear Hiring Manager, Instead of rejecting strong candidates just because they don't perfectly fit the current role you're hiring for, consider the broader possibilities. If you find someone with great skills but they're not an exact match for the position you're hiring for, don't dismiss this opportunity. Send their resume to another team or manager who might be in need of these skills. You won't lose anything by giving a strong candidate a second chance within your organization, and you'll gain valuable talent. Remember, exceptional people will eventually find the right place for them—so why not make that place your company? Let’s ensure that great talent doesn’t slip through our fingers 💡

You're struggling to hire? 😅 Don't point fingers at the market, or the latest political drama. 🚫 It's likely your EVP - Employee Value Proposition.🎯 EVP, in plain English, is the full monty you're offering your employees. 🎁 It's more than just a paycheck and a couple of weeks off each year. It's the butterflies in your stomach when you clock in every day. It's having a mission that makes you spring out of bed. It's being part of a close-knit team. Here's what a top-notch EVP usually includes: 1. Compensation 💰 2. Total Rewards Package 🎉 3. Opportunities for growth 🌱 4. Making a dent in the universe 🌎 5. Culture (the good kind, not the artificial kind) 🏰 And guess what? It's not just HR's job to nail this. Your team has its own EVP. In my experience, the clients who've got this down pat attract top-tier talent, every single time. Want to be one of them? Slide into my DMs. 📩 Oh, and what other EVP elements did I miss? 🤔

3moKnowing the value proposition of your organization is a key win in the hiring process. I'm evaluating that in the interview process as much as technical skill. Not giving enough weight to culture and fit results in high turnover and dissatisfied teams.
