Essence of a Hire

1/16/2025

Recruiting is a fascinating industry, the epicenter of people, some who represent their employer and other individuals representing themselves.

Here is the Essence of a Hire (when recruiting is a success):

1.) Both parties are motivated to move.

2.) Candidate trusts that the position is better for them short-term to mid-term (it is very rare these days, where candidates think long-term).

3.) Companies believe they can trust the person to do the job (almost on Day 1 anymore … training programs are mostly ancient), is willing to do the job where they want them to do the job, fits in with the team and won’t cause headaches, and has a reasonable expectation for compensation.


Seems so easy, but it is not!

The biggest objections that keep parties from coming together these days that we see: Location (remote v in-office) and (compensation).

The hiring market always provides the answer to these objections … because as business increases or declines … hiring adjustments are made by both sides.


20-33, and a little bit of snow. Warmer today.

Make it a great day, everyone!
