Gain Credibility in These 4 Key Recruiting Meetings

Recruiting departments often fail in executive meetings because they don’t have a unified source of truth about the work they’re asked to do. How many of us have been in a meeting and are surprised by: 

• High priority designations that are changed by “squeaky wheels” who have leveraged the system for their own benefit

• Hiring managers who do their own math when modifying role finances causing budget challenges

• Hiring managers that change their requests mid-process creating a delay in hiring, but don’t take accountability for their changes

Recruiting leaders deal with these issues everyday. Having to wait for spreadsheets to be reconciled to understand the root cause of common issues often leaves the moment for action in the past.
