Recruiters Are Terrible Listeners - The 10 Minute...

Talent Insights ·

2023/10/18

It’s no secret that the recruiting industry doesn’t have the best collective reputation. There’s a lot of fingers to point. Executives think hiring is easy. HR is resistant to change. Job seekers have unrealistic expectations. But perhaps we should point the finger at ourselves. If “hiring is broken,” why haven’t we fixed it? Sure, everyone complains about recruiting. But are we even listening? Jeff Smith and James Hornick discuss accountability while dunking on themselves in the next The 10

Miss us? We took Q3 quarter off for our mental health. The hiring market did so we did too… But Q3 ended with some hiring bright spots in the technology and finance & accounting fields. Not to mention some (potential) leading indicators of good news on the horizon with interim talent. Matt Massucci and James Hornick return with a numbers-driven look on what recruiting looks like going into the end of the year with “Hirewell Data Insights: Hiring Trends Q4 2023"

Real talk: back in the 9-5 in office days, there’s nothing I wanted to do less than spending my evening (read: me time) at a networking event. I’m a recruiter. I just spent the entire day networking. Now? I miss people. (Well, sometimes anyway.) And it appears everyone feels the same way. Industry happy hours. Onsite hiring events. Internal team events. Coffee with an old contact. The vibe shifted. It sure feels like people are into it now. Whether it’s hiring, sales or a bit of both, Jeff

Is Remote Work Making Us Dumber? - The 10 Minute...

Talent Insights ·

2023/09/20

What’s the most played-out online debate of this decade? That’s easy. “Are workers more efficient remote or in the office?” Everyone has their opinion and on one is changing their mind. It’s tribal. But there’s one point that most of us agree on: remote learning sucks. It doesn’t matter if it’s in school or in the office. When companies are expected to train new grads and skill develop experienced employees, it seems like kind of a big issue, doesn’t it? If we’re not getting smarter, are we

Giving Job Seekers Bad News Sucks - The 10 Minute...

Talent Insights ·

2023/08/23

No one enjoys giving bad news. And that’s a problem. One of the biggest complaints job seekers have about the interview process (besides not getting the job) is not finding out why. It’s often something they don’t want to hear. Every recruiter has a horror story about someone who blew up on them because of it. And that causes a lot of recruiters to avoid it whenever they. But running away from your problems never solved anything. Jeff Smith and James Hornick talk about how to deliver bad new

Surviving A Turbulent Recruiting Market - The 10...

Talent Insights ·

2023/08/08

The current hiring environment confounded a lot of recruiters. Stock market is up, unemployment is low, inflation is going down…but hiring in tech-forward companies is still way down. Internal recruiting teams are smaller. Agencies are struggling. “Getting by” is the norm. What’s the secret to survival? In the words of Ross Geller: “Pivot!” Jeff Smith and James Hornick will discuss what Hirewell’s done and what our contacts are focused on in 2023 in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 71

Bad Job Seeking Advice, Exposed - The 10 Minute...

Talent Insights ·

2023/07/25

They say the best things in life are free. But don’t they also say you get what you pay for? When the job market gets tough, job seekers are thirsty for whatever edge will help them land their next gig. The free advice from life coaches (and frankly anyone who’s ever looked for a job before) comes out of the woodwork. But let’s call a spade a spade: some of the most common tips are objectively bad. They’ve just been repeated over and over again until they sound plausible. Not on our watch

Hiring Shouldn't Be An Experiment - The 10 Minute...

Talent Insights ·

2023/07/13

When the job market is hot, interview processes are their most efficient. Companies go the extra mile to get people interested and on board. Job seekers are energized and excited to hear what great career opportunities await. When things slow down, the wind gets sucked out of the room. Companies waffle and find reasons not to hire people. Job seekers get jaded and their frustration spills over. But why should companies do anything different in down times? Why make an interview process longer or

2023/06/20

Breaking News: Sales is hard. Everyone in tech or ‘office dork’ circles is having a rougher go of it right now. And the same goes for recruiters. Yes companies are still hiring. Unemployment is still low. And there’s still more open jobs than unemployed people. Just not at the extreme levels of the past 2 years. When urgency goes down, expectations go up. Hiring managers and HR types want to see more out of organizations they partner with. Jeff Smith and James Hornick dig into the realities

2023/06/06

#tbt to 2021 and Episode 28 “Reference Checks Are Stupid” Sadly, our first rant on this topic didn’t change the world. Reference checks have come back in a big way. Our title was a bit facetious that time. Reference checks are not inherently stupid. But they’re commonly misused by damn near everyone. So we’re giving it another crack: What drives companies to use them? What true value can you get out of them? And where do they fall short? Jeff Smith and James Hornick answer these questions

Noticing any “odd” behavior from candidates recently? Or is it just us? Not bad. Just different. Maybe you get far more questions. Maybe your response rates are lower. Or maybe you’re getting responses…from messages you sent a year ago. So what’s with the shift? Jeff Smith and James Hornick will explain what’s behind the current mindset and how you can adjust your approach in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 66 "Decoding Candidate Behavior in 2023"

Can internal and external recruiters be best friends?...

Talent Insights ·

2023/05/10

What’s with the tension? Aren’t we trying to accomplish the same thing? There’s nothing more counterproductive in all of hiring than the adversarial relationship that (some) internal and external recruiters have. Internals begrudgingly use externals on hard searches when they don’t really want to pay a fee. Externals angle around internals when they don’t feel they’re on a level playing ground. It’s silly. But what causes it? And why is it so unique to the talent acquisition space compared to

No one likes it when someone goes behind their back. Every agency recruiter has a horror story about a time they missed out on a placement after not getting ‘credit’ for an intro they made. But how does this play out in the real world? Are job seekers better or worse off? Are companies more or less likely to hire the candidate?
