My health is back and I feel great!

My son is adjusting well to high school and is getting out and about with friends on the weekend. As a result, my wife and I were able to go out on Saturday night and then again during the day Saturday to take a trip to Hot Springs and melt after spending an hour and a half in the hot mineral water. So good to relax.

What a sweet few days off.

Ten Mistakes Firms Make With Their Hiring Process

 
Someone messaged me recently if I had written anything about the recruiting process and hiring.

After about 30 seconds of thinking and a search through my YouTube videos, articles and No B. S. Hiring Advice podcasts, I saw that almost everything I write about touches on the subject but few articles are explicit.

As such, I thought I would address ten mistakes firms make in their recruitment process.

There's a lot more at my website. For now, use the No B. S. Hiring Advice tab on top AND go to the blog and use categories (No B. S. Hiring Advice) for more. My content is being moved to the blog area.




Is your firm trying to hire people?

There are labor shortages for skilled professionals in many fields
and incompetent third party recruiters are being asked to fill these positions? How do I know? I have heard the lament time and again from firms that tell stories of recruiters asking the most mind numbing questions.

"What are the three must haves for this search?

"Is that an absolute requirement?"

"What is the interview process like."

"Are you willing to be flexible on that?

Then they send resumes that in no way shape or form reflect what you've asked for?

  I have filled more than 1200 positions in my career plus many consulting assignments.
