The current economic environment is allowing talent acquisition teams to improve their processes and enhance efficiency as there are fewer requisitions to fill. A recent webinar featured experts from BambooHR and 15Five, who shared insights on how to audit the hiring process, improve the candidate experience, use technology to meet recruiter and new hire needs more effectively, and be proactive in pipelining and evaluations. The key takeaways include: examining each step of the hiring workflow to identify bottlenecks and unnecessary steps; following best practices for improving the candidate experience, such as treating candidates as people first and setting clear criteria; using technology to automate tasks that aren't the best use of the team's time; being strategic about pipelining and clarifying how you define the "best candidate"; and not settling for just any talent. By implementing these strategies, companies can position themselves for long-term success.
