2023/02/07

The market is soft. If you’re hiring, that’s a good thing. (For you, anyway.) You don’t have to compete against Google and Amazon and their $500k+ total comp offers right now. It’s the best time to hire in the last decade. But not everyone is. And this isn’t going to last. Hirewell’s January job orders were up 52% since November. 118% since December. Not convinced? Jeff Smith and James Hornick will discuss why you’ll regret dragging your feet on hiring in Episode 59 of The 10 Minute Talent

Job seekers: every wonder why some recruiters are blowing up your phone one minute? Then nowhere to be found the next? Hiring managers: ever wonder why recruiters are right on the money with some candidates? Then not even close on others? Yes, some recruiters are just better than others. But what is it that makes some recruiters consistently good and others consistently all over the place? And how do we fix that?

You know the type. You probably started your recruiting career there. Job seekers hate working with them. Companies hate partnering with them. Their employees hate ‘em, too. So why does the stereotypical, boiler room, crappy recruiting firm still exist? Shouldn’t it have gone extinct decades ago? Jeff Smith and James Hornick explain why these types of places persist, dragging down the entire industry’s reputation in Episode 57 of The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "Why Crappy Recruiting Firms Still

When things go south in the business world, it always feels like the employees are the ones to take the brunt of it. How are so many companies laying off when unemployment is only 3.7%? And why are all the biggest names in tech, who had (seemingly) unlimited money a year ago, leading the charge? Most importantly: what can we learn from this going forward?

“'If you ain't first, you're last.'” -Ricky Bobby Talladega Nights is a classic. Love that movie. But it’s a comedy. You’re not supposed to take it seriously. Yet coming in 2nd carries a stigma. Even in hiring. Companies don’t like being a job seeker’s 2nd choice. Job seekers don’t like being a company’s 2nd choice. We’ve seen bruised egos cause companies to pull offers and job seekers to decline then. Yet everyone is fully aware: there’s a LOT of great companies and job seekers out there.

2022/11/09

We've discovered the perfect interview process. After talking to thousands of job seekers, we've concluded it consists of 100% remote, 1:1 time with the C Suite, no tests, perfectly matched values, immediate feedback and massive offers. After 1 step. Update: we regret to inform you the perfect interview process doesn't exist. Bad sucks. But what about good? Can we even be happy with that either?

The hiring market may be down but it certainly isn’t dead. Some industries cooled while others are still piping hot. And in-demand positions are changing too. Sales down, marketing up. TA down, HR up. They don’t know what the Fed’s going to do next, but Matt Massucci and James Hornick covered the real numbers Hirewell’s seeing to understand how the inflation and rising interest rates have affected the hiring market so far in “Hirewell Data Insights: Hiring Trends Q4 2022".

How To Hire *gasp* Onsite - The 10 Minute Talent Rant

Talent Insights ·

2022/10/04

At Hirewell, we’re apologetic Team Remote homers. But that’s because it works for our business. It’s our preference. We recognize that a lot of orgs can’t actually do full remote. For a variety of very valid reasons, which often go unacknowledged in the pro-remote, social media echo chamber. Hiring onsite (or even hybrid) is unequivocally harder to do. But not impossible. What are some of the keys to help you pull it off? Jeff Smith and James Hornick play the other side in episode 52 of The 10

Turn back the clock a generation or two. How did you know a company was terrible to work for? Word of mouth. It was slow and hard to get the word out. Toxic environments could stay below the radar. Little motivation to change. Fast forward a bit. Social media and Glassdoor got people talking. Employee engagement, pay transparency, and work-life balance became mainstream issues. Companies took notice. They finally had to. And now? The young generation is dunking on bad bosses to millions of

With age comes self-reflection (hopefully.) Those moments where you look back, ponder your existence, and question if you’d do anything differently. If you’re thinking “you mean how we’ve been evaluating talent all these years?” we thought the same! That goes for how we conduct interviews and how we manage teams. Everything from “bad” answers that really weren’t bad answers. To whether our KPIs really value results over time spent (or wasted?) The 10 Minute Talent Rant turns 50 (episodes) this

Why Is Sourcing Such A Pain In The Ass? - The 10...

2022/08/23

Recruiters: How many hours a week do you spend doom scrolling LinkedIn Recruiter? Or your database? Or your reviewing job ad applicants? And how much time on top of that doing the initial live vetting? Sourcing. How every search begins. (After the research phase but you get my point). It’s such a massive time suck. Especially when it has to be done all over again if something later in the recruitment process breaks down. If you’re wondering where years of your life went and what can be

Stop Hiring & Firing Internal Recruiters - The 10...

2022/08/02

A month ago Jeff Smith and James Hornick ranted how “Layoff Posting Is Fear Porn” i.e. stop getting everyone worked up and fearful. But here they are, talking layoffs. What gives? Once again, internal recruiters are disproportionately targeted for cuts. Over-hiring. And over-hiring the very people who do the over-hiring. You didn’t gain anything. But you sure did disrupt a lot of lives. It isn’t intentional…but sometimes it kind of is. Why on Earth are business leaders still hiring FTE

Companies who tout lots of time off to attract employees but don’t let it happen in reality? Absolute con job. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Hiring is currently Schrödinger's cat: it’s both alive and dead at the same time. Depending on who you ask. Layoff posts are currently dominating social media. Another day, another announcement. We empathize with anyone who’s life was turned upside down. But why are layoff stories going viral seemingly every day when there’s still a massive talent shortage, unemployment is at 3.6%, and James’ favorite diner closed because they can’t find a cook?

When it comes to candidates, passive is good, active is bad. Or did I get that backwards? Active is the good one? Let’s take a step back: isn’t this whole distinction silly? Aren’t all people open to better opportunities than what they currently have? What does this accomplish besides baking in more bias? And taking the onus off companies to sell themselves better?

Do you ever feel like the recruiting industry is stuck in neutral? Years go by but we’re facing the same issues, over and over again? Are we? Or do people just keep talking about the same old stuff? If you flip through recruiting topics on LinkedIn, Twitter, Youtube, or any other social site, it’s a lot of reruns. Do we really need to debate the value of cover letters for the 1000th time? Shouldn’t we move onto more pressing topics? Things that might actually move the industry forward? Jeff

Call time tracking. Cliques. Micromanagement. Unrealistic expectations. Confusing and bogus comp plans. No work-life balance. Complete lack of empathy. Bullying. The recruiters reading this are probably shaking their heads: “Been there.” Our industry is full of “boiler room” shops. And the most unfortunate part? They prey on younger workers with minimal experience who don’t know any better. So they leave recruiting entirely. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Perhaps knowing can make a
