Back To The Basics
Alex Tannis
The Recruiting Industry has taken a very critical turn over the past few years and the result has created a fragmented environment. “Quantity” over “Quality” has become the driving force. It’s time to get back to the basics! It is time to engage with talent in a personal way with passion and care. Back to the “Human Touch” (Something I personally have never stepped away from as a leader in the industry). Building lasting relationships and trust make for the ideal recruiting approach and gives the recruiter the ability to make the correct match to the client.
We have to get back to the basics with the Client even more so than ever before. It’s not about getting a job description in an email and flooding them with unqualified resumes to reach a daily quota! It is imperative that we engage with the company. Get to know their culture, their pains, their desires. Get to know them. Want to genuinely help them grow their business. It’s like building a family.
Quotes from what the industry is trending 2024
findem.ai – “The majority of talent teams concentrate their tech stack on just-in-time hiring tools, with the top three being job boards, ATS, and LinkedIn Recruiter. But leading organizations rely on a much broader tool set, consolidating technologies and adopting new tools to automate and accelerate more of the talent funnel, across more channels.”
suppyht.com “Furthermore, 70% of employers in the U.S. anticipate difficulty filling open roles. This is slightly less than what employers in the industrials and materials industries reported where 75% of respondents in these industries expect a tough time filling open jobs in 2024.
Clearly, the demand for talent continues to outweigh the supply in our industry.”
