Listen in to the latest episode of Transform Your Workplace, where the conversation is all about effective talent acquisition. Brandon Laws talks with top recruiter and talent acquisition expert, Tatiyana Cure, about her book, Hire to Win: Managers Practical Guide for Attracting and Interviewing Top Talent. Learn about best practices for writing job descriptions, interviewing candidates, and selecting the right hire, all while cutting out the tedious and time-consuming methods that we’ve all grown accustomed to. TAKEAWAYS The biggest cost of a bad hire is your own mental health and productivity. A vague job description attracts a high number of candidates, so hiring managers end up investing too much time scratching the surface instead of determining if it’s the right fit. When interviewing, ask the same questions to all candidates so that you can adequately compare them to one another to find the best for the job. Set aside substantial time to look at resumes instead of glancing at the candidates and making hasty decisions. Address salary expectations upfront so that you and potential candidates can move forward in the interview process. Rejection is inevitable, but the best approach for rejected candidates is one of kindness.
