More often than not, hiring slows down because everyone involved has another job to do.
Recruiters are chasing feedback. Hiring managers are bouncing between hiring and their day jobs. Candidate information ends up scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and systems. And every extra handoff creates another opportunity for a strong candidate to get stuck or lost completely.
In this session, join Dr. Taylor Fort (IT Solutions Consulting), Gabbie Heintzelman (Historic Tours of America), Josh Tolan (Spark Hire), and Eva Rothwell (Spark Hire) for a practical conversation about reducing your coordination challenges and building a hiring process that keeps moving without asking everyone to do more.
You’ll learn how to:
- Clarify who needs to own what throughout the hiring process
- Make it easier for busy hiring managers to provide the information and feedback recruiters need
- Identify the manual work, handoffs, and bottlenecks that are slowing your team down
- Use process and technology to keep candidates moving without sacrificing the human side of hiring
Walk away with real-world examples and actionable ideas for spending less time chasing and more time on the hiring work that actually needs a human.
