Episode notes
Missed Hiring Goals
- Only 47.9% of TA teams hit their hiring goals in 2024, dropping from 51.3% in 2023.
- This decrease likely stems from increased candidate volume coupled with reduced recruiter capacity.
Candidate Volume Overload
- High applicant volume makes some recruiters hesitant to post jobs, fearing unmanageable workloads.
- This, coupled with reduced TA teams, creates a candidate processing bottleneck, extending time-to-hire.
Quality over Quantity
- Increased candidate volume allows companies to be more selective, prioritizing quality hires.
- This contributes to longer time-to-hire as hiring managers seek "superstar" candidates.
