In this episode of IT Staffing Insights, I dive into the real reasons why the right candidates aren't applying for your job openings. We explore the disconnect between hiring managers, HR, and recruiters that leads to unrealistic job descriptions and how this confusion deters qualified candidates. I discuss the pitfalls of cumbersome application processes and outdated ATS systems that filter out top talent. We also talk about the importance of a strong employer brand and how it influences candidate perception. Discover actionable strategies like renaming roles, involving candidates in feedback loops, and enhancing process transparency to attract the best talent. Join me as we unravel the hiring friction and learn how small, intentional changes can make a big difference in your recruitment success.
