Goodwin Recruiting’s Post

The job/hiring market has been challenging lately! Many are comparing it to the great recession 2008-2010 and Covid 2021-2022. Both times we learned that companies holding off on hiring to "wait and see" resulted in a huge talent shortage when the cycle turned. Many talented individuals with years left of productivity decided it was time to retire during these periods, resulting in shrinking talent supply. When hiring budgets were reinstated and existing employees were wary covering the jobs of multiple people...the results were "The Great Resignation" and scrambling employers! Job seekers had the upper hand as they were in huge demand. Offers were coming in within 24 hours of first interview or the candidate was scooped up by the competitors. Job seekers learned they could create bidding wars and employers were regretting their "wait and see" strategy that burned out their loyal employees. REALLY?! Are we going to repeat this cycle a 3rd time in 2024-2025?

Struggling to find a new job? “Job seekers say getting hired is deceptively hard, and recruiters agree that qualified candidates are often passed over… After vying for talent with generous pay and work-from-home flexibility, companies have reasserted control over the employer-employee relationship. Bosses who preached self-care now squeeze maximum efficiency out of their teams and hold out for “perfect” hires when they reluctantly agree reinforcements are needed.” #jobs #recruiters #hiring #hr #change #employment #labormarket

In times when market hiring is low and job seekers face tough challenges, the situation can feel disheartening. Many candidates experience increased competition, with fewer job openings available and companies often prioritizing internal hiring or reducing recruitment budgets. This can create longer periods of unemployment or underemployment for job seekers. #job #hiring #unemployed

According to Accurate Personnel One of the number one myths we hear from applicants is that we don’t have jobs available. However, at Accurate, our clients are constantly hiring. We never run short of available positions and we are sure to be hiring for roles in your area all year long. Everybody needs a job and staffing agencies are a great way to find one. Recruiters are experts when it comes to the job industry and they have the pulse on companies that are hiring hundreds of people every day. That being said, there are many misconceptions about how they work. Everyday, agencies hear concerns about assignments ending, lack of training, and even a need for more variety in roles. #LightandHopeLLC #BenefitsofStaffingAgency #StaffingAgency #TalentProvider #JobOpportunities #NowHiring #JobOpportunities #StaffingAgencyJobs #CareerOpenings #JobSeekers #HiringNow #JobSearch

Is it a new hiring norm to reject candidates within 24 hours? The job market has shifted so rapidly that the candidate experience seems to have lost its value. It's now common to be rejected within just 2 hours after a first call with a recruiter. While the huge volume of applicants explains this trend, it's still a tough pill to swallow. 💔 But here's a thought: how about more empathy, transparency, and short feedback? Automated timely rejections with specific reasons using templates can make a big difference. Let’s start a conversation in the comments below on how we can bring more value back to the candidate experience. 👇 #jobsearch #hiringtrends #recruitment #linkedIncommunity #opentowork

While this might come off as flexible and eager, it can also seem desperate or lacking in focus. Recruiters want candidates to know themselves well enough to establish a clear sense of what they can offer and how that aligns with the specific needs of the position — not someone who is willing to jump at any opportunity. Say this instead: “I’m passionate about [specific role/task] and believe I could excel there, but I’m also open to other roles where I can contribute effectively.” . . .

I need a new employee to fill in this position in 2 weeks MAXIMUM. Urgent hirings can be very inefficient and unsuccessful. Especially if you leave the job position open for more than 2 weeks. Storing applicants in databases and fitting them in projects they seem more applicable for their experience is one thing. And leading applicants on to keep applying continuously for a long period of time is another. Gather applicants, filter out the best fits, interview them, sign a contract, and recruit. The employment market is a daily inflow of people that want to pursue their careers. It never stops. Let’s start recruiting more efficiently for the sake of the company and the candidates.

Frustrated with missed job opportunities? You're not alone. Many job seekers experience missed calls from recruiters and are unable to answer due to work obligations. Despite returning calls and expressing interest, candidates are often told they are no longer under consideration. It's time for employers to be more understanding and find alternative ways to communicate with candidates. Let's work together to create a more inclusive and accessible hiring process for all. #jobsearch #hiringprocess #recruiting #inclusivity
