Recruiting is a mess. If you disagree with that simple statement, please turn around and ask for your money back. If you think recruiting is done well and effectively in companies, we’re not going to have a lot to talk about. What worked ten, twenty, and fifty years ago is still being practiced as “current state of the profession.” Collecting resumes by the dozens and hundreds, waiting weeks to contact candidates, mass “thanks but no thanks” letters months later (assuming you don’t just ghost them), zero feedback after coming in for interviews, searching in vain for purple squirrels that never existed, and all the rest of recruiting’s bad habits that kind of and sort of worked generations ago just aren’t cutting it anymore. And if you needed me to tell you that, you have not been paying attention. Welcome to the modern era! Grab a phone and a helmet, because it’s gonna get crazy.
