Hiring Manager’s Survival Guide to Recruiting
A Recruiter’s Insider View on the Recruiting and Hiring Process
By: Jonathan Kidder
Are you facing understaffing at your company where hiring has become an absolute nightmare?
During these uncertain times small business, to midsized, to fortune five hundred companies have all faced a labor shortage of finding qualified and interested candidates. Every industry has been impacted by the recent economic and pandemic uncertainties
I decided to write a book that will explain the foundations of recruiting, interviewing, and the overall hiring process. The process can become complicated and can cause you to lose time, applicants, and lose money. The book will cover the entire process and how to work with your talent acquisition team more effectively.
I’ve worked with numerous hiring managers who have never hired in their careers. They don’t know what types of questions to ask candidates and quickly get frustrated from the process working with recruiters. By understanding the process, they would know how to resolve issues as they arise, understand each step, and communicate more effectively with the recruiting team.
