Hire for cultural fit, but make sure there’s room for diversity. Why? Because with a strong company culture, employees are happier and more productive and diverse teams outperform less diverse teams by an average of 35%. It’s decided: teams are to hire similar people with many differences. Confused yet? There’s no denying the validity of both fit and diversity in the hiring process, but where do we draw the line between too much of either or not enough of one?

I went to an event kindly hosted by Adcorp this week. Arriving slightly early following the promise of free beer on a hangover, I sat down next to the other two early attendees and introduced myself. Given the incestuous nature of the Auckland recruitment market, new introductions are increasingly rare. If Auckland is a village, as Jafas are keen to say, then us recruiters all sleep in the same hut.

Hello Q4! As we roll into a new quarter, many of us are embroiled in 2016 planning. I say ‘embroiled’ because while planning for the year ahead is a time for inspiration and excitement about future opportunity, it can also be stressful, iterative, and downright gnarly. Especially for recruiting leaders in the eye of the storm (or rather, thick of the spreadsheet) around headcount planning and growth.

Is the old adage, “Less is more.” really true? Nowadays, new jobs are posted EVERYWHERE! You can find them on job boards, social media, industry specific sites, and even in the newspaper still…I think. This means that MORE applicants are likely seeing your openings, which can also mean MORE applications to review. Hiring can be super stressful when there are too many applicants to review for a position.

You finally found the perfect candidate for your open position, and they accepted your offer. It’s time to celebrate! But, before you break out the balloons, there’s one last thing you have to do — tell all of the other candidates the position has been filled. Rejecting candidates isn’t fun and can be uncomfortable for everyone involved. When those candidates are close runner-ups, letting them down and letting them go hurts.

They’re enlisting themselves in a world of constant change, novel challenges, ever evolving responsibilities, and a whole lot of uncertainty. It’s not for everyone. And not every candidate who looks qualified on paper will be a fit for your company and culture, but it’s hard to know from just a few interviews who is and who isn’t.

There are a lot of things to consider when writing job descriptions. They need to be interesting and compelling, something that will attract the right candidates AND get them to click the ad/apply to the job. They need to be well-written, not just a copy-and-paste of what the client sends you. And they need to be search-engine friendly. What does that mean?
