#TalentAttraction #Tuesday TOP MANAGERS RECRUIT AND HIRE TOP CANDIDATES NOW! ONBOARD IN NEW BUDGET YEAR
Will you agree that this year has been different in many measures? We still have a Pandemic that is raging, especially among the unvaccinated. We have logistics difficulties because ships cannot be unloaded fast enough. We have the Great Resignation…And the list goes on.
There are millions of US workers who are out of work, many by their choice. Many economists say they are cash rich from the Federal government Pandemic relief funds that paid them more than they were earning in their hourly jobs – Why Work?
“The Times They Are A-Changin”
Bob Dylan was correct in his song. Times consistently change. Sometimes the change is driven by a Pandemic – and it is a massive change like Work From Home. Other times, change is slow as we experienced – and continue to experience with civil rights.
The pandemic has produced swings where the employers were forced to send everyone home. Initially, the change was treated with caution by the employers and the employees. Some managers, who manage by walking around – not measuring productivity, did not trust their direct reports to work from home.
Now, with more workers vaccinated and the panic has slowed, many employers are demanding that their employees return to the office. Those workers have discovered the responsibility and the freedom of working from their homes. More importantly, those workers decided, understandably, that working from home meant they did not have to commute 45 minutes to 90 minutes to work Each Way, pay for parking, tolls, gas, upkeep on their vehicles, babysitters (if they could even find them), lunch meals, etc. Reports stated that many of them were working more hours and were more productive than when they were in their corporate offices.
The demands to return to their offices created a conflict between employers and employees, particularly younger workers with fewer financial responsibilities.
Today We Are In A Confluence of Employers And Employees With Needs
The employers have lost critical numbers of key employees, some were lost due to Covid-19. Others were lost due to the conflict mentioned above. Attracting new employees forced many employers to raise salaries, particularly in the hourly jobs where some raises were double the pre-Pandemic hourly rates.
This confluence has produced a wonderful opportunity TODAY!
You will know who are the top Managers in your organization by noting who is interviewing intently before the Holidays. They are conducting their interviews with the knowledge of the fresh budget openings starting January 1.
Their advantage is to identify, interview, and extend offers in the December budget year. Receive the acceptances of top candidates in December and start them the first week of January – Brilliant!
They interview and hire new employees while their counterparts are finishing the year and pushing recruiting back to January – when everyone else is recruiting. The Top Managers already have staff coming up to speed while the “normal Managers” are only beginning the recruiting process.
I know candidates are beginning their searches from this week’s event. Last Friday, I posted a #JobSearch #Friday post exhorting Career Seekers to begin their searches for a new position NOW. There were over 23,000 views of that post on LinkedIn in 4 days!
The candidates are out there and are looking. As a Manager, I would not depend upon most HR Departments to successfully identify my direct reports. I would source them myself. It is a priority for me – and may not be a priority for them.
Recruiting is Not Magic. It is Focused, Hard Work.
Talent Attraction is Better than Talent Acquisition!
If you would like a conversation on how to ATTRACT talent instead of using an Applicant Tracking System or HRIS to screen them out, we should chat. Call me directly at 435-714-4425 (mountain).
My Talent Attraction speeches benefit your Association Membership and your Organizations. Please consider – If my Speech saves your members only ONE Recruitment fee, it has paid for itself.
I am available to consult with your company to improve your Top Talent Attraction strategy. Attracting and integrating Top Talent gives your company an industry edge. The process is worth the effort by improving productivity, innovation, and profitability – Look at Google, Tesla, SpaceX, and Apple.
