September 05 2014
Liz Ryan, former Fortune 500 HVP and founder of Human Workplace, recently published a phenomenal article about how the recruiting system utilizes technology to automate an already broken form of fielding for new talent. It's crippling the recruitment process.
She points out that asking for resumes and a list of tasks performed, where they worked, and how long they were at their jobs says nothing about the candidates at hand. Reading about tasks doesn't reveal what a person is like, what they care about, if they come to work on time, or if they'll add value to your organization.
One of the biggest crimes committed by many recruiters is that they don't align their values. After hours of weeding through various potential candidates — their process doesn't highlight those whose values harmonize with the company's.
What you really want to know is what projects each person has completed, what initiatives they took, and what they're like.
Liz also makes the point that you shouldn't be talking down to your recruits — you should become more human, market to them, and show how their lives will be better when they join your team. Just like your customers, they too drive your success and should be treated accordingly.
