So the polling booths have just closed in the UK and while most Brits now sleep, we here in NZ will probably watch the results steer their government towards a hung parliament and the formation of some form of coalition whose representative colour will end up a muddy brown.

You may also be facing a double-edged sword when your hiring managers are complaining that the candidates you deliver don’t really measure up for the role at hand.

As recruiters networking is a HUGE part of what we do, but admittedly we’re all guilty of cutting a few corners when it comes to sending LinkedIn invitations to connect with candidates.

Is your recruiting team doing enough to help your company win the war for talent? I’ve worked at companies prior to Glassdoor where the recruiting team seemed to be in a permanent reactive mode, and that’s always baffled me. While many other teams and departments within the organization need to have an airtight plan for the year and metrics in order to secure budget, recruiting somehow gets a pass.

HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

Unlike the picture of Dorian Gray hanging in the attic, the idea of a passive candidate as the answer to a difficult search continues to age well in the eyes of recruiters. As Dr. John Sullivan suggests , however, calling them “passive candidates” is a bit of a misnomer. These individuals are not candidates since they haven’t applied and are not looking for a job.
