Three top recruiting mistakes and how to avoid them
Mistake #1Lack of preparation
Mistake #1Lack of preparationTo hire the best people, you need to know
what your organisation needs and what
each role requires.
SuccessAsk the hiring manager specific
questions about the role and
validate your understanding.
Make sure your stakeholders
understand best practice
recruiting processes.
Share personal tips and success
stories about attracting and
recruiting top talent.
Mistake #2 Misdiagnosis
Mistake #2 MisdiagnosisTo recruit hard-to-find candidates, you need to understand
the request for specific skills or experience.
SuccessFind out what’s behind the request
for specific candidate experience.
Discuss what other experience you
could look for to discover equally
suitable talent.
Look at candidates you’ve already
screened in a different light to see
if they could fit.
Mistake #3 Plan your strategy
Mistake #3 Plan your strategyAs recruiting requests build, you need to
plan ahead. ‘Try harder’ is not a strategy!
SuccessBuild a recruiting timeline and try
and stick to it. Build in best-case and
worst-case scenarios.
Pick some low hanging fruit. Plan to fill
easy roles fast while working long-term
on those harder-to-find candidates.
Report back to the business on
progress and next steps.
