Candidate realities

It's no secret that it's hard to find top talent. Have you ever heard the candidate shortage referred to as the war for talent? Well, guess what, talent won. This situation has changed and you need to understand the new realities because those realities have a major impact on your ability to fill open requisitions. Let's talk about how to handle those realities so that you recruit the best talent. Let's begin with the fact that candidates know their talents are in demand, and so they're asking for more.

They want to interview for more than just one opportunity. Present them to multiple hiring managers so they have a choice of which opportunity to accept. Because if you don't, they'll schedule additional interviews on their own. This applies to candidates who came to you as well as candidates you recruited. Increased networking through social media makes it easy for your candidates to confidentially reach out to their professional and personal networks and social media contacts.
