What are red flags in an employee?
Negativity – Complaining or bad mouthing a former employer or job is an immediate red flag. Negativity has no place in your workforce and has the potential to infect everyone. Lack of Research/Preparation – Your questions should make sure the candidate understands the job, the company, and the industry.
Do you fill the job with the most qualified candidates?
You more than likely want to fill the job with the person who is the MOST qualified. This whole conversation starts with the fact that we are currently in a candidates’ job market. I’ve discussed this fact of the current employment marketplace before in articles and blog posts.
Why don’t top candidates apply for your job ads?
They don’t need to. If they’re not looking for a new job, that means they’re not going to see your online job advertisement. It’s impossible for them to apply for the position if they never see the job advertisement in the first place. Top candidates are not applying for your open position because they don’t know that you have an open position.
Are the most qualified candidates not seeing your online application?
However, as we’ve already discussed, the most qualified candidates aren’t seeing the application at all. Not only that, but more than half of the people who start an online application don’t finish the application.
Why hire a search consultant or recruiter?
An experienced search consultant or recruiter can identify the best candidates in the marketplace, whether they’re looking for a new job or not. A recruiter can gain candidates’ attention and present your employment opportunity, and not just the best candidates who are looking for a new job.
