Be better now, not 12 months from now
This past week I've been having lots of conversations with clients looking both in the rear view mirror and the windshield: Where did we go this year and what direction do we want (need!) to go next year? (You can follow over here for actionable steps to take- https://recruiting-insights.kit.com/)
While it's common to be reflective on what we have or have not accomplished since January, it's imperative that you are intentional; approach this time of year with constructive self-criticism.?
Processes and various techniques from your favorite lifestyle coach can be found all over the internet to guide yourself through a productive year-end review. But what I can say is this:
1- Do not let these next 2 weeks pass by without spending some time reviewing what worked, what didn’t; what did you NOT try that maybe you should have??
Spending the same amount of dollars/ time and getting the same results YOY is not good enough. That is not going to impress your boss.
2- Don’t save a Year End Review for once every 12 months! I schedule a mini-review with myself each month. When I am on my A-game, I will do one every Friday afternoon.?
As it relates to recruiting? I thought you'd never ask....
Here are some questions to ask yourself.

1- Do the same locations / positions still have hiring needs?
2- Did I spend more or less time reviewing the top of funnel?
3- What is something new I can try that demonstrates innovation in hiring strategies but if it doesn’t work, won’t break my whole system?
If you need help answering these questions, I am here to talk through it and maybe, just maybe, challenge you a little.?
Happy Recruiting!
