Leverage a hiring freeze to be stronger than ever when hiring picks back up. A hiring freeze or slowdown can stall talent acquisition efforts, which can be jarring for recruiting teams going flat out. But a pause is also a chance for project-based recruiting work and fine-tune hiring processes. The inbound recruiting experts at Datapeople have outlined five projects for hiring teams looking to add value during a hiring freeze or slowdown. The company says these projects will take some work. But talent pipelines will be much stronger when hiring picks up again. One, hiring teams can update job ad templates and boilerplate copy. Job ad templates ensure content and employer brand consistency across all jobs, says Datapeople. But they need tending to, especially when job seeker attitudes are changing so quickly. A hiring freeze or slowdown gives teams time to improve templates for upcoming recruiting efforts. Two, every hire counts during a slowdown, especially if companies are only hiring for critical roles. It’s vital to cast as wide a net as possible to attract qualified candidates, quickly, says Datapeople. So once job ad templates are inclusive, hiring teams should make sure the job ads themselves are inclusive too. Inclusive job ads are accessible, clear, and welcoming to everyone, no matter how they look, talk, love, or anything else. Three, hiring teams can optimize their workflows for job ads. Every company does job ad workflow a little differently, says Datapeople, but most use one of two approaches. One, job ads sit outside the rest of the recruiting workflow. Two, job ads sit inside the recruiting workflow. The first approach means wild goose chases for job ads stored in multiple programs (e.g., Google Docs, Gmail) and either not finding them or not knowing if they’re up-to-date. The second approach means reduced steps in future hiring efforts via job ad software. Four, data cleaning isn’t exciting, but inaccurate data leads to incorrect assumptions, missed goals for recruiters, and flawed strategic decisions for talent acquisition leaders. Data cleaning is the only way to get clear insights from ATS data, says Datapeople. Five, recruiters don’t have time to connect meaningfully with hiring managers during all-out recruiting efforts. But a hiring freeze or slowdown gives them a chance to do that and improve processes, says Datapeople. Find Out More At https://datapeople.io/
