𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 - One of the ironies of recruitment: companies value stability and long-term loyalty in candidates—until it comes with a longer notice period ⏳. It’s interesting how the very qualities that make someone a strong candidate 💼 can also become the sticking point 🤔 - Have a good weekend ! #hiring #opentowork #hiddenjobmarket #maltajobs #careers #share #recruitment #jobsearch

The talent market is becoming increasingly frustrating, not only for companies but also for candidates😠 When applying for a job, you often encounter: - Unrealistic job requirements (7 years of experience for a mid-level role) - "Competitive salary" and OF COURSE double OTE - 100+ applicants on LinkedIn - Job postings that have been up for months - Benefits that don't really sound like benefits - 7 interview stages - 'Please include cover letter' 😑 To make matters worse, you still end up being ghosted after you have taken the time to jump through all these hoops. Some candidates we speak to are being ignored, even when the LinkedIn job posting shows only 10-20 applicants... These issues significantly impact your company's brand reputation more than you might realise as well as company revenue. While we understand the current focus on cost-cutting, sometimes seeking external assistance pays off in the long run. Partnering with the right agency can help reduce your time to hire, find you the best talent not just the best applicant and act like a true partner.

✳ Why is interview practice important? (not taking interviews to practice, that's a waste of people's time) ✳ Why is practicing your answers important? Even if you know your career inside out, upside down? ✳ Why is getting an interview coach important/something to consider? Because... 1️⃣ The #1 MOST common reason for rejection after round 1, is that the candidate was "too long-winded." (aka you talk too much) Not having concise, focused responses. Being hard to follow. Not reading the queues. Not reading the room! Virtually, it's even harder, so that's why you don't want to being going on and on and on, especially if the meeting is only 30 mins. >>> Pause, ask if they'd like you to go deeper on anything or have any questions so far. 😮 93% of all interviewees are nervous before an interview! That's basically everyone, I don't trust the other 7% !!! ❓How to alleviate the nerves, and set yourself up for success: 📜 You can bring flashcards with you! Flashcards are not dead and not just for chemistry 👩‍🔬 majors remembering whatever formulas they need to remember. ✍ Bring a notepad with you, virtual or in person. Take notes, and say it in the beginning, - "Hope it's okay but I'm going to be taking notes, and I've brought some questions with me for the end." >> I also think typing on computer notepad is appropriate. Do what works! This shows them you are prepared and serious. ❗Also, no speaking poorly about former work environments. If it wasn't a fit, say that, and move on. If the shitty workplace was called out in the news, alluuuude to the news. But, don't bash anything. Ever. (Do it in your car or scream into a pillow later). When the convo is going well and it feels natural and easy, it's a good sign. But still... 🚫 Stop. 🚫 Don't do it. You don't know each other. 🤚 Keep it profesh. But with personality. Be yourself. Maybe when you are hired, in like 8 months at a company offsite, say something, but strong advisory ⚠ warning not to at ANY point during the interview process. They are 💯 taking notes.

What's the value of a staffing agency? 🤔 Over a decade ago, I started working at Randstad, wondering if it truly added value. Now, I'm convinced it does – for both talents and companies. We spend so much time at work, so having a partner for talent by your side makes a huge difference. Happy, loyal employees are key to a company's success, and that's where a staffing agency can play a vital role. 📊 Learn more about our services on the blog. https://lnkd.in/eeinXv2Z #HR #TalentManagement #Recruiting #Digitalization #Randstad

Daily, we at Beyondo, recruitment, receive countless CVs of talented candidates—each more beautifully crafted than the next. 🙏 While it is fantastic to see candidates invest so much effort into their applications, one crucial factor is often overlooked: how "reader-friendly" your resume is for recruiters. Many (recruitment) companies are using a ATS system in their talent attraction and recruitment process. Therefore, it is important that a resume is 'reader' friendly and even more so, 'ATS-friendly', so it is visible in the recruitment process. Therefore, to help candidates, we have created a guide on crafting a resume that is 'ATS-friendly.' 💛 💛 Welcome to read our blog (guide) 👇 Good luck with crafting your resume! https://lnkd.in/di5ujfTn

My most recent #survey showed something intriguing. ✳ The case: In one of my #recruitment processes, applicants are asked to answer four specific questions. I recently received an #application, but instead of responses, the answers were filled with the following symbols: . / / / Despite this, the applicant's profile appears to be an ''ok'' fit for the position Question 👇 Do you invite the candidate for an interview? Results: Yes: 70% No: 30% Surprisingly, I decided NOT to invite this candidate for further processing. Here's Why: The purpose of these questions is not only to gauge candidates' thoughts on specific topics but also to see if they are willing to invest 10 minutes of their time to provide meaningful answers. This investment signals that they believe the job is worth the effort. Was my intention not obvious? It underscores how we each interpret reality through our own unique filters. Without a clear and defined intention of what we are looking for in a candidate, we will inevitably seek different things.

🗣 "At almost every company we talk with, managers are facing the same #recruiting challenge: 1️⃣ They simply do not have the talent they need in-house 2️⃣ They’re unable to persuade highly skilled professionals to come on board full-time. ➡️ As a result, companies are embracing the #freelance model more than ever before." Very interesting read on the challenges companies are facing in terms of attracting the right talents. And the growing trend of highly-skilled independent talents. 🚨🚨Spoiler alert🚨🚨 This trend will only continue!  With the rapid pace of innovation, traditional hiring models are becoming outdated. Companies that embrace freelance talent will have a significant advantage. 💡 And if you're curious and want to know more about the latest trends on the Freelancing economy, I'm adding the link to our latest "Freelancing in Europe 2024" report in the comments below ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eNikRc8X #recruitment #talents #Freelancing #Skills

Success in talent acquisition isn't just about numbers (although this data is helpful to understand pain points and identify how to solve them). Success is about making complicated - easy (and affordable). Client last year needed a specialist medical writer in Switzerland. The candidate needed to be fluent in both German and English. The salary was decent, but not one anyone was willing to swap jobs for. The location posed a challenge as it wasn't a big city and just a bit too far for most to commute. After months they just could not find the talent they needed. I suggested we consider candidates from other countries in the DACH region. It's very possible for EU citizens to get a B-visa. Quickly I was able to identify a top candidate. She was willing to relocate, wanted to live in the area (not in a big city), had all the languages, an EU citizen, and with the experience required. Within a week she had her first interview and lined the next up. Within 3 weeks of the company reaching out for help, they had agreed on a package and signed all the documents. She started and I checked in with her for some months later and she was still happy. The client had wasted months trying to solve the problem themselves, without a full view of the talent market. It took a talent acquisition consultant (myself) working across borders to see where the opportunities could lie, the barriers and how to bridge the gap. 3 weeks with an experienced recruiter is far cheaper than months trying to do it yourself. 3 weeks prevents interruptions in operations. The bottom line is Talent Acquisition can save you money. It doesn't need to cost the earth. It can be done quickly, on a fractional basis, by a knowledgeable person. It can ensure your staffing needs are met without you having to sacrifice on skills. If you need help identifying talent, reach out to me. We can discuss your individual business needs. I am a registered Freelancer in Germany and can invoice on a project-by-project basis. #TalentAcquisition #Hiring #Recruiting #CostOfHire

"WE CAN'T FIND TALENT" is a common refrain among senior management, CEOs, and COOs in Luxembourg and Switzerland. They often claim, "There is a talent shortage." this assertion is SIMPLY NOT TRUE. A more accurate statement would be, "I don't want to pay for talent search."   Your company provides a service, and you get paid for it. Why would talent resourcing and management be any different?   When a company posts a job ad on jobs.lu, job boards, XING or LinkedIn, they should not expect ideal candidates with plug-and-play experience—highly successful, loyal, personable, hardworking, and team-oriented—to simply apply and join. It is rather unrealistic.   Finding a candidate with these qualifications is like searching for a specific pair of your favourite shoes, in your size, available at a local shop, at 7 PM on Black Friday :)   If you are looking for a "Passive Candidate" - a subject matter expert, successful, efficient, and satisfied in their current role, they needs to be inspired by your company, position, offering, and environment. So, you need a dedicated Recruiter.   So, rather than saying, "There is no XYZ," be honest and say, "I don't want to pay for XYZ."   While I may not fully agree with every point in this article, its conclusion resonates: "They also have to increase their recruitment budgets and offer competitive salaries and benefits to attract talent. What’s more, this labour shortage can put the brakes on innovation, which is crucial in a sector where digitalisation and new technologies are paramount." #talent4lux #wisechoice #andersonwisejobs #jobsinfinance #bankingjobs #privatebankingjobs
