In our April 2023 roundtable, with William Tincup, President and Editor-at-large of Recruiting Daily, about the four areas of competing expectations that talent leadership should focus on (including your own expectations): What do candidates really expect? Is it easy applications, quick responses, transparency, one-call hiring? When was the last time you asked candidates? What do you recruiters expect from hiring managers, interview teams, technology and leadership? Are you setting them up to meet candidate expectations?  What do your hiring managers expect from your recruiters and the candidate market? Do they understand what else is competing for recruiter’s time and candidate’s attention?  What are leadership's expectations and understanding of recruiting challenges? Does your c-suite understand what it takes for your organization to hire top talent? Do they understand the recruiting reality on ground or are they being influenced by headlines?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
