Prioritizing Your Hiring Process
Despite the title, “hiring managers” do a lot more than just hire new
talent. In fact, in many companies, hiring is a task added to the hiring
manager’s ordinary full-time workload.
With so much work to juggle and only so much time to do it, hiring managers
have to prioritize. They must focus on the tasks and processes that will meet
the company’s hiring needs most effectively and efficiently. But where should a
hiring manager start?
Since you can’t do it all, start prioritizing your hiring process and needs
with these steps:
Get organized.
Every manager knows that a team does its most productive and focused work
when the team has a clear goal and timeline. Start by identifying and
prioritizing your most pressing hiring needs. Is a staff member leaving? Check
the job description for the staff member’s position to ensure it’s up to date
and reflects the skills and experience needed to do the job well. Is your
department expanding? If so, determine which workloads are going to increase
and who will need to be hired to cover the work.
When you know which positions you’ll need to fill in the near future, for
how long, and what skills are required, you can start making clear, strategic
plans to get the talent you need.
Delegate.
Good managers know how to motivate, teach, and inspire – and they also know
how to delegate. Not all hiring tasks need to be handled by the manager
personally. Perhaps you’ll assign someone to draft an updated job description,
to post it to the company’s social media sites, or to skim the first round of
resumes. Don’t hesitate to hand off tasks in the hiring process so you can
focus on tasks that genuinely need your specific attention.
Work with a recruiter.
Delegate tasks more efficiently by working with a staffing firm. Your
staffing partner can help you create a higher-quality candidate pool by
pre-screening candidates for both technical skill and cultural fit. Staffing
firms also specialize in helping their clients create strategic staffing plans,
making prioritizing and hiring easier.
