Hiring Top Management Getting Harder

A survey of 775 recruiters and managers show that locating qualified candidates for key positions is a huge challenge.

Hiring managers feel that recruiters don’t have enough job knowledge, and recruiters feel that each hiring manager has his/her own way of doing things, and most of them are pretty ineffective, according to The Adler Group, a training and consulting company.
It’s hard to make hiring a core competency of an organization when there is no consistent process

The biggest problem identified in the survey is not seeing enough qualified candidates for important positions:

- 76% of respondents indicated this is a growing or a huge problem
- 63% felt that the quantity and quality of candidates from major job boards is dropping

Another major issue is the lack of a consistent hiring process and trained hiring managers:

- 60% of recruiters feel that hiring managers aren’t strong at assessing competency
- 60% of recruiters feel that hiring managers won’t devote the time needed to recruit properly

The feeling is mutual, according to the survey. Recruiters’ legitimate concerns about hiring managers’ commitment to a quality hiring process is also a sign of the growing frustration managers feel when working with recruiters.
