Signs You're Working At A Sh*tty Recruiting Firm -...

Talent Insights ·

2022/05/18

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

2022/05/04

Ever close a deal and never see a dime from it because you were on your way out? Our data shows that 60% of salespeople or recruiters have. And another 24% worry it could. When it happens, people talk. Word gets out. Is that really the “retention strategy” you want to be known for? Jeff Smith and James Hornick discuss the ethics of it (or lack of) in the next The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "Ever Get Stiffed On Commissions?"

Books. Cars. Video games. Fast Food. Apartments. A ride to the airport. You can buy pretty much anything online. Marketplaces made virtually every purchase experience faster, easier, more transparent, and self-service. So why not recruiting? Why is the hiring process stuck in analog? Jeff Smith and James Hornick will dig into the what’s held our industry back and why that’s going to change in the next The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "Marketplaces: Recruiting As Self Service"

You Don’t Need ‘Hiring’ Content - The Employer...

Talent Insights ·

2022/04/05

Irony: the least effective content to drive interest for your hiring? Content that talks about your hiring. Effective recruiter marketing will drive job seeker interest your way. If you focus on the things they actually care about. But no one cares about how exciting your environment is. Or how much money you raised. Or how fast you’re growing. Nate Guggia and James Hornick will cover why the go-to hiring messaging is a total waste of time. Connect with James Hornick and Nate Guggia: James

2022/03/29

You just post jobs and people apply, right? And everyone wants to work here because they already know what a great place it is, right? And if I’m busy they’ll all wait for me to be ready to hire, right? Right??? Recruiters have all hit a point where we feel like we’re taking crazy pills. No one really understands what it is we do. Mom and dad? Never gonna get it. But hiring managers and execs? We need to bridge that gap before hiring (and frankly, life) becomes impossible. In a topic

Good Onboarding Fixes Bad Retention - The 10 Minute...

Talent Insights ·

2022/03/15

Trying to hire when you’ve got a retention problem is like pouring water in a leaky bucket. You can’t recruit your way out of it. It especially hurts when it’s preventable. There’s a lot of reasons why people may leave your org, but the lowest hanging fruit and easiest fix: better onboarding. First impressions are everything. If you’re just sending someone a computer and hoping for the best…no wonder why they bail. We get it. It’s harder in the remote world. But strong onboarding is still very

Everyone says pay + remote are the two must-not-screw-up-if-you-want-to-hire issues in this market. But there’s a 3rd: bullsh*t homework. We’re looking at you, ‘coding test before talking to anyone.’ You too ‘build me a product roadmap on a whim.’ Yes, assessing skills is crucial. But there’s a time and a place for these types of exercises, which is usually later in the process. Or (gasp) never.

The 3 must-have things to run a business: Product Sales Hiring Without all 3, you're sunk. Everyone prioritizes the first two but hiring...that just kinda happens by itself right? Post it and they will come? Talent Acquisition has evolved. Successful recruiting draws on a variety of skills - sales, marketing, HR, operations, etc. It doesn’t cleanly ‘fit’ inside of any other part of the org. Here's a crazy idea: maybe it should be its own damn thing. Jeff Smith and James Hornick propose a

2021 came and went in the blink of an eye. Coming off of an extremely challenging year, no one knew what to expect 12 months ago. We saw signs of the job market thawing in Q42020. The Unemployment Rate hit 6.7% in Dec 2020 (down from 14.7% in April 2020). But a recovery was far from certain. Twelve months later? Labor shortages are plaguing every industry. The unemployment rate hit 3.9% in December 2021. But that is only part of the story. The labor participation rate (percentage of Adult

Retainers Get Results - The 10 Minute Talent Rant

2022/01/05

The definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. (That’s not really the definition, but for this promo I’ll allow it.) I’m reminded of this every time I speak with someone who isn’t having any luck with contingent recruiting firms, but continues to use them. (We covered this at length in our “Contingent Search is Stupid” rant). But why is retaining a recruiting partner so much better? What are you getting that you wouldn’t otherwise? And how will

Can Sign On Bonuses Contend With End of Year Bonuses?...

Talent Insights ·

2021/12/16

The holidays are right around the corner and so are year end bonuses. Wait, no…those don’t get paid until March. And so begins wait-it-out season, where job seekers put things on pause, waiting for that money to hit their account. Unless another company pays a fat sign on bonus. But there’s a lot more to it than that. It’s not just cash people think about, but equity and every other form of comp. And not every job seeker is worried about bonus dates when all they really want is a little more

How CEOs Can Drive Recruiting - Talent Insights

Talent Insights ·

2021/12/08

“Your CEO should be your best recruiter.” Sounds like good on the surface, don’t CEO’s have a million other things to do? How can they possibly make the time? Well, Kris Rudeegraap did just that. He’s the CEO of Sendoso, a series C funded start-up with over 500 employees. As a CEO, he views hiring as just as important (if not more) than product development itself. His “everyone recruits” approach to hiring generates so many employee referrals that Sendoso didn’t need to hire their first

How Will The Recruiting Gold Rush End? - The 10...

2021/12/08

Perspective on the skyrocketing recruiting demand: average recruiter salaries go up 37% this year. And remote work among recruiters went from 50% to 95%. There’s probably not a “go back to normal” after this. It’s not just “The Great Resignation.” VC firms have been pumping more and more money into ‘recession-proof’ tech industries. There’s no end in sight. But it can’t stay this hot forever. What’s it going to look like when it tapers back? And what aspects of the recruiting field will be

2021/11/17

Some things are easily-agreeable on the surface. Then later you realize they have unintended consequences. Colorado’s new law requiring employers to put salary ranges in job postings is as well-intended as it gets. The move to promote pay fairness and reduce the wage gap. Except now a lot of companies are advertising remote jobs everywhere except Colorado. Why? Some companies vary pay based on performance. Others don’t want their competitors learning their pay scales with a Google search. Do

“Every time I log into LinkedIn Recruiter, part of me dies inside.” -Jeff Smith When it launched in 2008, LinkedIn Recruiter was a game-changer for recruiting. A worldwide company directory that could source damn near any hire? We take it for granted what recruiting was like before that. Since then? Massive time suck for recruiters.

But so is knowing when employees are unhappy when you can’t see their body language. When you don’t have those informal check-ins. Or when you don’t realize how badly you botched the onboarding process until it’s too late.
