Global Recruiting Professionals:

This meeting will brainstorm Crisis Resources and Jobs and Career Support for the Covid-19 Employment Task Force. I have been helping people find jobs and support in crisis since September 11, 2001. At the heart of great living is a meaningful relationship. I dedicate this crisis brainstorming call to everyone with the courage to keep trying, to ask for the help they need. I celebrate everyone who heeds the call and tries to help.

"Is it REALLY that bad now? The Submission to Interview, the Interview to Decision parts of the process? "

Resoundingly, the answer I hear from the Global Recruiting Professionals Community on LinkedIn is , YES, it is that bad! The recruiting life cycle has extended from time to respond on resume submissions, interviews, and the decision process by weeks to months. Some clients just ghost with little or no information. It is not personal, it is the nature of the present business, trying to absorb a lot of volatile business impacts. However from the Candidate's point of view, treating them with respect and dignity can really improve your brand, despite the challenges.

Highest Performing Recruiters who pride themselves on quality candidate identification and process closure for both the Candidate and the Client, find themselves struggling. The candidates are frustrated, the client's have ghosted, and they are feeling burned out trying so hard.

A few recruiters recently shared emails from candidates flaming them once denied jobs. Truly from a recruiting point of view Covid-19 has drawn out job interview, hiring and decision cycles. Recruiters are challenged with not being able to close requisitions and a dual edged sword for communicating.

It is when one of the recruiters that usually is helping others to find jobs, explained their situation, that I realized, we MUST do better to help people in trauma immediately. They know the industry, they are well connected, and a great person, passionate about their work and helping others. Covid changes things, and sometimes we are too busy to notice the really important crisis cries for help, until it is too late. They called a halt to their job search. I cant face rejection any more. The calls the application after application. No interviews, denied , no response, ghosted, and feeling neglected by the community that they had so much pride for being a part of. They shared their back up plan and I was alarmed. They shared their back up plan -- an exit strategy of the most tragic proportion.

Would you KNOW what to do? Recruiters if you POSTED that type of message only to realize that the candidate that just went off on you, did so because without a job they were facing homelessness or suicide, would you behave differently?

Professional Network: Jobs n Career Success

Forbes ran a great article on the 9 challenges job seekers should plan to address to get jobs during the pandemic.  So Innovate Jobs has created

• COVID-19 A-Z Resources  resource list
• COVID-19 Job Seekers Hot List for companies looking for talent

I also have talked to the family of people who lost family members to Suicide surrounding uncontrollable health or financial situations. If you were the LAST person who could save someone's life, would you KNOW how to recognize it?

We must be more aware of the new demands for Covid-19 impacts, to recognize and guide a job seeking candidate out of crisis? So often in a career search, job seekers are expected be positive and realistic. This still holds true, but the environment has changed.

People in the job search greater than months with critical health issues, facing homelessness, food and family crisis are on edge for a reason. How can we support Job Seeking Candidates with identifying resources for how to network, when facing trauma from Covid Sickness, Covid Care, or Covid based Unemployment. Remember for many candidates, there is no "EAP" for crisis.

We will brainstorm ideas. Assemble working groups to work on solutions, and incorporate helpful resources into our A-Z knowledge base. Most of all we will set full intentions on thinking and working together differently to partner and collaborate in a way that is more supportive for Covid-19 New Business Standard.
