Have you found yourself having to explain your job history multiple times to recruiters or hiring managers? You're not alone. As someone who works in Talent Acquisition (having "fun discussions" with hiring managers to not reject candidates based on recent work history), I understand the frustration that comes with job searching, especially during COVID-19 and company layoffs. Many of us (myself included) have experienced gaps in our employment history, making it challenging to secure new opportunities. But don't lose hope! Despite the current circumstances, there are countless talented individuals out there, from established to small startups, who are eager to start working ASAP. As recruiters and hiring managers, let's work together to build a more supportive and inclusive job market that creates opportunities for everyone. We owe it to ourselves and our communities to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion in our hiring practices. Let's challenge ourselves to look beyond traditional qualifications and instead focus on transferable skills, potential, and cultural fit. Remember, we're all in this together. Let's continue to support each other during these challenging times and build a stronger, more resilient workforce. #jobsearch #COVID19 #employmentopportunities #supportingeachother

I've been receiving alerts like this ? about once a week. It's not surprising to see talent acquisition opportunities trending up following the layoffs of the past couple of years, impacting many professionals in the field. Hiring is on the rise, and companies are either starting TA teams anew or rebuilding these teams to support these efforts. It seems that the cost of rebuilding these teams far exceeds what it would take to retain talent acquisition professionals, even during slower hiring periods. Perhaps this serves as a valuable lesson learned! #talentacquisition #recruiting #hiring #jobopportunities

The tech industry has undergone a transformative journey post-COVID, marked by unprecedented changes. We've witnessed a wave of layoffs across companies of all sizes and sectors, reshaping the professional landscape. As recruiters, it's crucial to play a pivotal role in fostering understanding among hiring managers. Gaps in resumes and frequent job changes don't always reflect a candidate's choice. Many have faced involuntary transitions due to massive layoffs, where their value to the company was often underestimated. In the current hiring scenario, let's recognize that these candidates navigated through uncertain times beyond their control. To those fortunate enough to be in a hiring position, a gentle reminder: the individuals seeking opportunities today had limited control over the trajectory of their careers. Empathy and understanding are key as we evaluate resumes and interview potential hires. Each candidate brings a unique story shaped by the evolving dynamics of the tech industry. Talent acquisition experts play a crucial role in bridging the gap between candidates and stakeholders. It's essential to remind decision-makers of the dynamic nature of the tech landscape over the past four years. By understanding the broader context, we can make informed decisions that benefit both employers and candidates. Let's embrace a culture of empathy, recognizing the resilience and adaptability of professionals who weathered the storm of industry changes. Together, we can build a tech workforce that thrives on diversity, resilience, and shared understanding. ?? #TechIndustry #HiringTrends #EmpathyInTech #CareerResilience

If I was a Head of Talent Acquisition today, this is how I would take on hiring in this current market: 1?? Create a hiring plan that makes the process more streamlined, not longer. 2?? Use a sourcing strategy that goes beyond just a LI recruiter search. There are so many gems actively searching on Slack, Discord, and Reddit for example. 3?? Leverage AI that goes beyond just generative AI, like GPT. Orchestration is key in today's market and tools like Blue Saturn (Techstars ‘23) can help :) 4?? Hire for aptitude : With many layoffs and companies restructuring, there are millions of people that are likely looking to re-skill themselves to find a new job. Look at candidates for what they can do, not for what they've done. 5?? Rediscover candidates from the past: look at those candidates who went through the process and got 2nd place; reach out to those who said the timing was off; nurture that applicant you felt was 'too junior'. 6?? Provide feedback and rejection with grace : it's one of the toughest economic markets we've seen in over a decade; applicants are applying to 100s of jobs and hear back to 1-3% of them; be the 1% What else would you add to this list?? #talent #hiringtoday #jobmarket
