Hi. I want to talk about the hiring market this week.

The current hiring environment has confounded a lot of recruiters. 

The 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. Search firms are struggling. RPO firms are struggling even more. “Getting by” is the norm.

What’s the secret to survival? In the words of Ross Geller: “Pivot!”

Jeff Smith and James Hornick discussed what Hirewell’s done and what our contacts are focused on in 2023 in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 71 "Surviving A Turbulent Recruiting Market"

The Hirewell Hot Corner, Ep 22 "NFL Training Camps / Training and Onboarding New Employees"

In this week’s episode, Dan and Louie dive head first into the NFL Training Camps being open and the MLB Trade Deadline concluding. The Cubs were buyers at the deadline bringing in some much-needed bullpen help and an everyday 3rd Baseman while the Bucs were sellers and shipped a few pieces away for some prospects. We then talk about some of the highlights we are seeing from the Steelers and Bears in the early days of training camp.

We segue this into recruiting by discussing the importance of a well-planned training program and the effect it can have on recruiting. A candidate who feels on day one they are going to be in a program that sets them up for success long term will win many more candidates over compared to the companies that have a very loose idea of how to bring folks up to speed. A training program should cover all aspects of the role, the technology being used, internal processes, and how all the pieces fit within the organization. We highlight some of the training programs we see with our clients and how they breed long-term employees who stay for 10+ years with that company. 

Thanks for tuning in!

The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 72 "Giving Job Seekers Bad News Sucks"

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 news without becoming collateral damage in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 72 "Giving Job Seekers Bad News Sucks"
