In a panel interview and the questions you planned to ask were used by others? Take a step back… cause you have an opportunity to dive deeper 🤓 Ex. Colleague: “Can you describe your leadership style? Candidate: “I have a collaborative leadership style and really lean on feedback from my team to drive decisions” You: “Great! Can you tell me about how you collect feedback and the process of using that feedback?” 🔑 🔓 Active listening tied in with curiosity can help unlock key details others might miss in an interview #interviewtips #recruitment #talentacquisition

Here's a common reaction to the recruiting plan of building a diverse pool of candidates, doing outreach to find folks who might not know about the org and the open role: "But, we want to hire the BEST candidate still, right?" Well, BEST comes from good sourcing and attracting - it's what great recruiters do. It is bad business, bad ethics, and frankly, lazy, to go with the "most comforting" candidate or the one found through a monoculture network. Do better than show ignorance to the boundless talent out there. Utilize good recruiters - who have mad BD skills. They are searchers, connectors, they paint an accurate picture of the "product," they turn over stones. Imagine telling Sales, "let's not look into new markets; let's not go in search of customers who don't know us yet; let's not find clients who will give us feedback on how to make our product better." That's what lazy hiring says. We aren't finding the BEST when straight, white, able-bodied men are filling roles that over-represent that demo in large rates. Also - Clean up your process: - BEST means good interviewing, and using a vetted scorecard to ensure "the best" person really does get found, hired, and paid accordingly. - BEST means that the scorecard includes critical SKILLS like creating a sense of belonging, being resourceful, respecting and elevating others, not the non-skill of years of experience. - BEST means a person who will enhance, challenge and grow your culture, not "be a good fit" Contact me if you want to improve your processes, train your hiring managers, and treat candidates like solution finders, not boxes to check.

True story: years ago, I'm interviewing for a comp manager role. In walks the VP of Sales, who plops down and hits me with, “What should my salary be?” I realize he’s serious, so start explaining the need to understand the talent strategy, competitive landscape, and sales deal structures... you know, just comp manager basics. His comeback? “A good compensation manager would just know the answer.” 🤷‍♂️ And that, folks, is how Pequity’s Market Pulse was born— okay THAT part isn't true... but wouldn't that have been a great origin story? 😂 However conversations like this DID inspire better tools – and with the over 1M real-time pay data points in Pequity’s market survey, I can now answer that VP’s question in a snap! For anyone else dodging comp curveballs, check out pequity.com/solutions/data. We’ve got the answers you need, no crystal ball required! ✨🔮 #Compensation #data #comptech #hr #humanresources #hrtech #story #learn #Pequity #technology #compensationstrategy #compensationdata #funny #Talent #Sales #strategy

Ask yourself: what is the legacy you want to leave as a leader? What is the impact you want to make, not just to the company’s success, but to the personal and professional lives of the people you have led. Ultimately, this is the true value of being a leader and why it is a privilege to be one.

I'm honored to be hosting a Voray Dinner on June 4th in Redwood City. To engage and make the event appealing to as many TA leaders as possible, I figured I would try crowdsourcing some theme or discussion ideas! I was thinking something about transferable skills and how we can help other recruiters in the current market could be an insightful discussion. Any other ideas? What would you like to discuss? Previous events covered: ▪ Optimizing the recruiting process ▪ Understanding Talent Metrics ▪ Hiring without LinkedIn ▪ Mastering the Candidate Journey I will make notes and share the ideas that come from our discussions!

Welcome to the White Collar Recession – There are two job markets. Less than $100,000 base salary (on fire, let's GO!), and over $100,000 (terrible). At the lower levels, millions of jobs go unfilled as people feel those jobs are "beneath them." That is why there are 6.5MM on unemployment despite the fact we have 8.5MM open jobs in the U.S. Wait, make that 8MM open jobs. That number dropped 500,000 in two months. At senior levels, hiring slowed dramatically in April 2023. The Pandemic 40% raises and working from home ended abruptly. This year has been absolutely anemic for those above $200,000. Companies are laying off, not hiring. Finding a job is back to being a competition. If you apply online for a Vice President job, you may be one of a hundred applicants that applied...today. https://lnkd.in/gAuCyhFJ

Miro scaled from 300 to 1500+ employees in 18 months. Here are five TA tips from their Head of Tech Recruiting. 👉 TA teams should assess tools for return on investment, making sure they meet the evolving needs of the company. Tools that no longer serve their purpose should be reconsidered to allocate resources more efficiently. 👉 It's important to have adaptable processes and tools as the company scales. What works at one stage may not fit another which is why you have to iterate constantly. 👉 Miro leveraged external resources like freelance recruiters, RPO and placement agencies to hit their hiring goals. 👉 People are likely to want to hire people similar to them but hiring someone opposite brings new ideas and energy to the team which can lead to great results. 👉 Burnout is a real issue across all companies and it should never be ignored. Be transparent about how you're addressing burnout within your company. Do you have any burning questions about Miro's road to 1500+ employees? ⬇️

This is a great site for anyone keeping an eye on US labor markets. Strong wage growth is a major factor contributing to elevated inflation, making it crucial to track timely and detailed labor data. Check out this link for up-to-date (and publicly available) information on US labor markets, as well as a few other primarily European countries. #uslabormarkets #wagegrowth #inflation
