Why are still so many weak candidates hired and promoted? Apt answers to this question were given in an article on the CBS News websites. Try to think about whether these unnecessary mistakes in both external and internal HR marketing are not related to you as well. Crucial role on the path to correct the mistakes will be played by working with managers.
You are looking for stars
You have too high demands and occasionally really find an exceptional candidate to hire or promote thanks to these demands. Most of the time, however, you need to lower your requirements and repeat the hiring process, which is unnecessarily expensive.
You cannot specify clear requirements
Recruiters and hiring managers come only with general requirements. They cannot describe what will the candidate do together and therefore they cannot choose someone who will be able to do it.
Managers do not know how to conduct interviews
They ask very general questions and cannot articulate what they want the candidates to do. In combination with the candidates who are confused as well, this cannot bring any good.
Managers hate recruitment
You want a new employee as soon as possible but managers, on the other hand, do not take the recruiting process as a priority. It is rather a necessary evil for them and they are trying to delay it as much as possible.
You have incompetent managers and recruiters
Bad managers and recruiters tend to chose bad employees. Competent people in the roles of managers and recruiters are essential for successful recruitment.
