I have posted this information in the past but
a recent e-mail exchange with a hiring manager brought it back to mind.
How to attract the best and brightest to your
company is a challenge I am hearing from most, if not all of our clients right
now. Then, once you find them, hire them, onboard them, motivate them and
ultimately retain them become the next challenges. I wish I had a dollar for
every client who said they were looking for the ideal candidate. Every hiring
manager would like the perfect candidate for their open position. In seeking
Mr./Ms. Perfect, many highly qualified candidates are passed over. Perfection is
elusive, but almost perfect could be sitting right in front of you. Elongated
hiring processes and having multiple interviewers involved in the process
simply complicate the hiring process and serve to frustrate candidates with a
high degree of patience.
I suggest a thorough review of your processes
and an evaluation as to why you are having trouble finding the ideal candidate.
