A Data-Driven Approach to HR with Erin Turnmeyer -...

Talent Insights ·

2021/10/12

You may not know this, but recruiters aren’t really HR people. We just pretend to be on the internet. So when we want to go deep on pressing issues, we call on some actual experts. Erin Turnmeyer is the VP of People at Civis Analytics. Not only is she up to date on the issues, but she has a data-driven approach. And a snarky demeanor which we of course love. She and James discussed a few pressing issues: What causes alignment challenges between HR and hiring manager? And how can it fix to

Talent Insights ·

2021/10/12

Everyone is frustrated that recruiting is so hard. Blame goes in every direction. A lot of it gets dumped on the technology. Sure, recruitment tech could be better. But when you see worst practices in hiring persist year after year, isn’t that a bit of a cop out? How much of it is humans not using the tools correctly? Nate Guggia and James Hornick will talk about where recruitment tech misses the mark. And where poor messaging and strategy are the real issues.

2021/10/06

Lots of companies want to be inclusive in their hiring. Unless it comes to little things like...previous experience. Vetting for necessary skills is one thing. But creating ideal profiles of who you think will be successful based on a couple of previous hires? Kind of a recipe of everyone thinking and looking the same, don’t ya think? Jeff Smith and James Hornick will rage on the downsides of poorly conceived requirements in Episode 29 of The 10 Minute Talent Rant, "How About Some Diversity

Having a cool product makes sales a lot easier. How does shooting drones out of the sky with RF signals sound? That’s exactly what DroneShield does. And their CEO, Oleg Vornik, was gracious enough to come on the Talent Insights podcast to talk about a niche many people aren’t familiar with: government sales. Specifically in the defense sector. Oleg and James discussed a variety of areas, including: Traits a good salesperson needs in government sales. And how the sales cycles differs from the

Reference Checks Are Stupid - The 10 Minute Talent Rant

Talent Insights ·

2021/09/22

Anyone can get 3 people to say something nice about them. So what are we really expecting to find out with the good old fashioned reference check? It's perhaps the biggest example of “we’ve always done it this way” pointlessness in hiring. And don’t get us started on “backdoor” reference checks. (Asking someone the job seeker didn’t provide, behind their back). Actually, we’ll go there too. More garbage. Jeff Smith and James Hornick will tear down the pointlessness in The 10 Minute Talent

Hiring Well In Sales with Debra Senra - Talent Insights

2021/09/22

When it comes to sales hiring, what are people having the hardest time with that they shouldn’t? Answering that question is Debra Senra, the Chief Revenue Officer at Ten Spot. When it comes to hiring sales people, she’s as good as they come. The short version? A lot. Hiring manager egos. Not doing the first interview yourself. Saying you want a diverse slate of candidates but showing blatant bias against previous experience. Or schools. Or age. If you’re hiring salespeople, you’ll want to hear

2021/09/15

It’s hard to outspend someone with deeper pockets. Which can make competing for talent against larger organizations seem impossible. Bigger budgets mean they can do more, right? But money isn’t everything. When it comes to hiring content, throwing money at the problem only seems to make matters worse. In episode 23 of The Employer Content Show Nate Guggia and James Hornick will go as far as saying the best things in life are free. Well, cheap anyway, let’s not go crazy... Connect with James

Jeff Smith and James Hornick like to rant. But they also like to empathize. We’re nice people. :) Look, hiring is hard. A lot of people are figuring it out for the first time. The biggest challenge is not knowing what you don’t know. Making mistakes that you don’t even realize you’re making. It’s ok.

Data Insights Q3 2021 - Talent Insights

Talent Insights ·

2021/09/08

Three months ago, we released the first installment of Hirewell’s Data Insights series. We crunched the numbers that we had seen over the previous 12 months to paint a picture of the hiring market. The job market flatlined (Q2 2020) and then rebounded (Q1 2021) in the span of 9 months. Another quarter is in the books. We are back with the latest installment. And guess what? The numbers point to even more hiring activity. To give you some context, Hirewell has 75 recruiters that focus

How Many Candidates Do You Need To Make a Decision? -...

Talent Insights ·

2021/08/25

It’s not a loaded question. And your answer speaks volumes. We get that the recruiter’s paradise of a single candidate hiring isn’t always feasible. But a “the more the merrier” approach raises a few red flags of its own… Do you really care about candidate experience? How much of a priority is this hire? And do you even know what you’re looking for? While it’s good to have options, Jeff Smith and James Hornick will dissect the very real downsides of having too many in the next 10 Minute Talent

Talent Insights ·

2021/08/17

Companies always say they want to stand out with job seekers. But few actually do. You have plenty of opportunities. Your website, your social presence, your job ads, etc. They're yours. You can do whatever you want with them. But place these things side-by-side, the messaging tends to look a little cookie-cutter. (I mean we all know how many JD’s are literally just copied off each other, right?) What gives? Are companies afraid to go against the grain? Or do they just not know how? Nate

There’s the Final Interview. Then the Next Final Interview. Then the Final Final Final Interview. Not a good strategy for winning top talent. We get it. You’d rather be doing your actual job than running an interview process. But letting your indecision bleed through is no way to grow a team. Or run a business.

Why Isnt Everyone Putting Salary Info In Job Ads? -...

Talent Insights ·

2021/07/28

Not seeing salary info in job ads seems to be a hot button issue that all job seekers can get behind. (Except when it comes to having their current companies add it to their own job ads but I digress…) It’s common in the UK.. The state of Colorado just mandated it. But for most job ads in the US, salary ranges are nowhere to be found. But…why? If it gets more job seekers interested, what’s the hesitancy?

In our 4th (and potentially final) edition of the What Candidates Want to Know series we hit on an area that’s near and dear to my heart: recruiting recruiters. Yes, recruiters are job seekers too. And they’re in insanely high demand. It’s the #2 most in-demand position that Hirewell is seeing right now (behind the always-in-the-top-spot software engineers). And as always, it’s a lot easier to attract top talent if you know how they make decisions. So Nate Guggia and James Hornick cover on the

Unlimited PTO is a Scam - The 10 Minute Talent Rant

Talent Insights ·

2021/07/15

The person who thought up Unlimited PTO as a selling point to employees is a genius. An evil genius. Go ahead. Try to take 4 months off from work. See what happens. And see how much accrued time off you get paid for when you leave your job. (Spoiler: zero hours). How did this become a thing? Jeff Smith and James Hornick will provide the backstory and what a sensible time off policy looks like.

If you’re having a hard time hiring software engineers (who isn’t?) this is one you’ll want to tune in for. Nate Guggia and James Hornick are continuing their What Candidates Want to Know series with the Technology Edition. It’s pretty straightforward. Most company messaging makes too many assumptions. You think you know what technology candidates want to hear, but do you really? Based on their research so far: nope. So they’re doing the legwork for you. Surveys and 1:1 convos to understand what

I’m old enough to remember when ping pong tables, beer taps, free lunches, and nap rooms were great selling points. You know, things designed to make the office feel more like home. But what’s everyone care about now? Actually being home. Ok, maybe the nap rooms are still cool. But by and large, the pre-pandemic perks have been rendered meaningless.

2021/06/02

The results are in: we were more productive in 2020 than we were in 2019. But that’s not stopping a lot of companies from announcing they want everyone back 100% of the time. And the common rally cry is...culture? Business executives favoring “the vibe” over output? Well that sounds a little odd... When you peel back the layers further, there are other factors at play. Not everyone has the same ability to work in a set physical location. And are we setting up an employee class system based on
