Common Frustrations in Hiring Top Talent

Over the last 20 plus years, Brad and I have presented our You’re NOT the Person I Hired workshop to over 30,000 managers and executives in well over 1500 presentations. We usually kick off the workshop by asking “What are your greatest frustrations in hiring?“

Interestingly enough, we’ve heard the same frustrations of two decades very time we present this workshop. It doesn’t seem to matter if the company has 60,000 employees globally or 60 in Los Angeles. It doesn’t matter if the company manufactures a product, imports components, provides a service – the frustrations are still the same when it comes to hiring top talent.

We’ve put a list together of these frustrations on our website and the solutions in how to overcome each one. In subsequent blog posts, we’ll examine each one of the most frustrations in more depth.

Here’s the list we’ll review in our future postings:

1. Common Frustration #1 – What am I measuring
2. Common Frustration #2 – Not enough candidates
3. Common Frustration #3 – Exaggeration and Lies
4. Common Frustration #4 – No Hiring Process
5. Common Frustration #5 – Poor Cultural Fit
6. Common Frustration #6 – Useless Evaluation
7. Common Frustration #7 – First Impression Victim
8. Common Frustration #8 – You’re Not the Person

Do you have any frustrations in hiring that are not on this list?

Why is there such a high degree of frustration by hiring managers regarding the hiring process?
