HR leaders - Need to fill HR vacancies on your team faster?
Why not try these 8 secret tactics:
1--Make your interview process brain dead simple.
No more three rounds of interviews. Have fewer, but far deeper and more comprehensive 1-on-1 conversations.
2--Be brutally honest about the HR role, your expectations, and any challenges they will face. If the clients they will work with chased their predecessor away, say so.
3--If you want to hire them, let them know that. No negotiating ploys. No mind games. Be straightforward and upfront.
4--Share with them why they should choose you. In addition to money, commit to them that they will have more support, greater growth potential and more impact.
5--Once you decide to hire them, make the offer right away. Don't mess around.
6--If the position has a range, offer the top of the range. If the HR candidate is not worth the top of the range, don't hire the candidate.
7--If the candidate has questions or counters, address them the same day., Even better, address them on the spot.
8--After they sign, ensure they have time to transition and decompress between their old HR job and their new one.
Again, these are secret tactics a few of the best HR leaders use to bring in top HR talent quickly.
But let me be honest, these are NOT so secret.
Most of the best HR leaders use four or more on this list regularly.
So try them anyway.
See if they work for you.
I'll bet they will.
