Two Sides of the Same Hire: How to Impress Candidates and Empower Hiring Managers

We were delighted to sponsor a webinar with The HR World recently, where the subject of hiring came under particular scrutiny.

Two Sides of the Same Hire: How to Impress Candidates and Empower Hiring Managers brought together Niamh McCarthy, our Talent Solutions Client Services Managing Director for EMEA; Justine Friedmann, People & Culture Director, IFX Payments and Ed Gairdner, Chief of Staff, iplicit, to discuss how best to navigate a smooth hiring process for both managers and candidates alike.

Against a backdrop of scarcity of skills across sectors, Niamh highlighted the pressures and challenges facing companies in bringing new people into their organisations. Faced with the need to fill vacancies swiftly on one hand, but ensuring candidates truly fit prospective roles on the other, getting both these issues right can have a direct and positive impact on productivity for businesses and avoid the dangers of poor retention and associated costs. The panelists also explored the relationship between talent acquisition, hiring managers and the candidates themselves, seeking to ensure expectations were met on all sides and that the process was as smooth as possible.

Ultimately it was clear that there was a need for real partnerships between those involved in identifying the need for new talent and those who are charged with finding the people who would meet those needs.
