The Great Benefit Hoax
Are you tired of offering candidates a "benefits package" that's more like a consolation prize? It's time to call out the corporate smoke screen and start offering real benefits that will actually attract top talent.
As a recruiter, it's your job to present your company as an attractive employer. But don't fall into the trap of offering meaningless perks that will only disappoint candidates. Instead, focus on benefits that actually matter and will make a difference in their lives.
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
Are your benefits competitive with other companies in your industry?
Do your benefits actually meet the needs of your target candidates?
Are your benefits easily accessible and easy to use?

WFH WARS
Have you noticed a strange battle brewing in the workplace?Â
It's the WFHmania, and the lines are drawn along age.
Turns out, the older folks (55+) aren't too keen on remote work. Why? Maybe it's because they're the bosses, and they're used to having their minions around to do their bidding.
The younger generation (30s and 40s) is all about remote life. They've seen the benefits firsthand and aren't about to give them up.
So, what's the deal? It's simple: the older generation is making decisions based on their personal opinions, not data. They're throwing around phrases like "Our conviction..." and "We believe..." instead of backing things up with facts.

As a recruiter, you're on the front lines of the talent war. But are you facing a growing challenge? Despite the abundance of highly educated candidates, finding the right fit can be a daunting task.
The system is broken. Companies are obsessed with narrow skill sets and prestigious degrees, leaving a vast pool of talented individuals overlooked and undervalued. This imbalance is creating a crisis for recruiters who are struggling to find candidates that meet their specific requirements.

Interview Sequencing: A Recruiting Guide
Ever wondered if there's a "right" way to order your interviews? The truth is, it's more of an art than a science. While there's no one-size-fits-all approach, there are a few key principles to keep in mind to ensure a smooth and efficient candidate experience.
1. Get the hiring manager involved early. This allows the hiring manager to get a sense of the candidate's qualifications and fit for the role before investing too much time in the interview process.
2. Prioritize high-bar assessments. If some specific skills or qualifications are crucial for the role, test for them early in the process. This saves time for both you and the candidate, allowing for a quicker decision if they don't meet the necessary requirements.
3. Strategically place limited availability interviewers. If specific interviewers are in high demand or have limited availability, schedule them later in the process. This ensures that their time is well spent on candidates who are not a good fit.
