There is a myriad of obstacles that can prevent you from finding the “hidden gems" 💎 Which unfortunately tend to be diverse and underrepresented candidates.

In this article, Omer Molad, Co-founder and CEO of Vervoe discusses why that is. What you can do to improve. And how to change your hiring process to be less biased, more inclusive, and a better predictor of performance.

It's definitely worth a read 👉 https://bit.ly/3rUXsVD

Some great advice from Tom Haak, director of HR Trend Institute.

Make sure you always listen to your team 👂

Try and introduce a weekly team meeting where new ideas are shared. This is a great way to strengthen the team mentality, showing your employees that you want and welcome their brilliance.

Inspire, support, but most of all listen.

What's the first thing you look for on a candidate's CV?

While the recruitment industry as a whole has always put significant weight on high-value qualifications and education when considering applicants.

Do you still believe this is the case??

We don't...

We've always been MASSIVE advocates for soft skills to be part of the overall hiring strategy. Valuing qualities like leadership, critical and creative thinking and emotional intelligence over education and experience.

But what do you think??

AI vs Recruitment ↔ Human Vs Technology 🤖
Whether it’s about formatting CV’s or using automated rejection within the hiring processes, everyone has an opinion on it whether it's a good or bad thing.

But has empathy finally killed the auto-response?

2020 has shown us that how you treat your candidates can negatively affect your brand.

So taking the time to reply personally reply to unsuccessful candidates is definitely not time wasted.

Chris King has listed 3 main reasons in his article.

In less than 12 hours we will all be entering into 2021 🎉
While we all are secretly hoping that Covid-19 will magically disappear and that 2020 can become a distant memory, realistically this ins’t going to happen.

But 2020 wasn’t all bad… Anti-racist books are topping bestseller lists, we’ve adopted a record breaking amount of shelter pets and “Tiger King” somehow connected us.

From small acts of kindness to compassionate global understanding, 2020 has been the year that showed how resilient we all really are.

Throughout this year we’ve also continued to develop as the platform for HR, Talent and Recruitment professionals to connect, solve problems, address issues within the industry and make new connections.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us by sharing, liking and commenting our content. And of course a massive thank you to our authors, podcast guests and webinar panelists.

Let’s kick 2021’s 🍑

Employees want different things now than they wanted 7 months ago 💁‍♀️

It is no longer just about money 💰It's about balance, flexibility, and yes, working from home (or anywhere).

But it's also about being part of something better, something BIGGER...

👉🏼 It’s about diversity - and joining a culture of inclusion
👉🏾 It’s about accountable leadership
👉🏿 It's about investment in their growth 📈 and opportunities for management.

But it 𝐢𝐬 and always 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 about people and putting your people first.

We may sound like a broken record but ultimately it's
YOUR PEOPLE → that deliver → YOUR PROFITS.

They are your most valuable asset 👏 Never forget it.

As we begin to wonder what next year has in store for us... it’s the perfect time to begin looking ahead.

To check if you have the right people on the bus 🚌

Over the past year, perhaps, your bus has had to take a few unscheduled stops or change course completely. Or maybe it has had a complete refurb and is back on the road with a shiny set of wheels and a fresh lick of paint.

Whichever direction your bus has had to take to get you through COVID19, it’s now time to consider the people on the bus and the seats they are occupying.

Our Skinner is, of course, talking about your organisational structure and talent strategy.

Let’s face it. What we get paid for our role is important to us 🤭 But salaries are NOT the 'be all and end all'... But what is frustrating, is when hiring managers:

👉Make offers based on someone’s previous salary and their expectations
👉Or start rolling benefits into the base salary decision, therefore offering a lower base.
👉Or when they benchmark against people in the business and decide to low ball.

Be honest! We've all seen it happen. To help educate on this Sean Allen has outlined 6 things for you to consider.
