Navigating Post-Pandemic Hiring Challenges
Hiring in the post-pandemic era is fraught with challenges. Websites focused on matching employers get traffic that often is comprised largely of unqualified applicants, simply seeking a position to move up or leverage better hours or benefits without focus on the career experience of the individual candidate. With the advent of hybrid work environments it seems an increasing number of these applicants are also moving into an area without a real grasp of the cost of living or the commute logistics
The Hidden Costs & Troubles of Traditional Hiring
Those hires tend to be short lived and result in dumping you, as the employer, right back at the start line seeking another candidate in a few weeks’ or months’ time. And the costliest part of this process is not running the ads, not training the employee, not going to the trouble of payroll and benefits enrollment. It is the amount of time that the employer wastes away from professional duties searching, reading, filtering, analyzing, and interviewing prospective candidates.
In a wondrous stroke of luck let’s suppose an employer finds not one but two qualified individuals. They both have experience, seem enthusiastic, and communicate well. A decision is made, an offer is extended to one lucky candidate, and it is accepted! But only a few weeks in it becomes quickly clear that the hire is not a good fit to the workplace culture or worse yet, has undesirable personal traits like tardiness or poor conflict resolution skills that make it abundantly clear they will be unlikely to continue successfully in their role
