Technology? Yes, you got to have the best, and you have to know how to use it. But the point of difference in recruitment is still people, and in my view that will increasingly be the case. Stands to reason. Everyone who is a serious player will be able to afford the best technology. But […].

When it comes down to writing a great self-appraisal, a lot of questions come to mind. What are they used for? How are you supposed to promote yourself without coming off as a show-off? Is this really the best use of my time? For the last question, it honestly depends. For some companies, self-appraisals are nothing more than a formality; But used correctly, they can have a big impact on your career.

Working from home, from a coworking space, or from a cozy cafe is the dream for so many employees. But remote work arrangements come with tradeoffs. Specifically, employees need to be strict in their time management, able to maintain focus, and willing to redefine boundaries to be as productive at home as they were in the office. This isn’t easy. And as a manager, you must keep an eye out for signs that an employee is struggling with a remote work arrangement.

It’s Friday and that means I have to write a blog. Which I love doing. Really I do. It’s been over 6 years of this now dontchaknow?

Mostly, recruiters hate KPIs. Often, relentless focus on KPIs does more harm than good. Routinely, Managers drive old-school KPIs because they are bereft of any new ideas to increase productivity, and sad to say, the less success delivered by the old tactics, the more the manager pushes the KPI! It’s a destructive cycle of pain […].

You spent hours poring over your manager’s sourcing tips from your last 1:1, polled your friends to see which one of four recruiting emails they’d actually reply to, and even put holidays like National Cupcake Day (that’s today, by the way) on your calendar so you could have something to talk about in your LinkedIn messages. Still, your reach-outs must have an invisible “I’m not worth replying to” sign on them, because your response rate hovers at around 0%.

We’ve all had these weeks. the Head of Engineering comes strolling by the Talent Acquisition team one fine Monday morning and nonchalantly says, “Hey team, we are planning for the build out of a new product and need to hire 20 engineers and 7 technical architects over the next 3 months.” Oh no! We know two things: we don’t have those candidates in the pipeline and our team can’t handle that kind of volume on short notice.

Yesterday, our CEO played us this TED Talk about a man who lost his legs in a climbing accident and proceeded to build himself new ones. One of his messages to the crowd was “a human being can never be broken, technology is broken. Technology is inadequate.” That is something we say here at HarQen often, that recruiting technology is broken. That we can do better.

When it comes to sourcing and recruiting, it’s gotten easier to find people but it’s gotten more difficult to get people to respond to emails, InMails, social messages and voicemails. The poor quality and lack of sophistication of most recruiter messaging, along with rampant spamming, certainly hasn’t helped. Unfortunately and yet somewhat thankfully, the bar of what people expect to receive from recruiters has been set fairly low, so the opportunity for improvement is massive.

Everyone has their “go-to” interview questions, but are those questions really the ones you should be asking? Often times, as the one conducting the interview, we tend to follow a sort of script. I myself am guilty of this. Every time I’d interview a new employee, I’d print out my list of pre-determined questions and go through the motions. But I never took the time to really think about what I am asking.

Is your company still relying on text-based recruitment marketing in a visual world? The thing is, candidates want to know what it's really like to work at your company, and a bullet list of skills and a blanket sell statement about the company in a job description just doesn't cut it anymore. There is just no better platform than video to create that emotional attraction to a company and job opportunity -- and I'll tell you why!
