#25 Can we build real trust through a recruitment process?
We hit the quarter century this week with the 25th episode of the PeopleTalk podcast. Today...building trust through recruitment & onboarding, firstly is it possible and more importantly how can we do it. With the changing world of the last 18 months one trend that is shining through currently...the breaking of trust with current or past employers who have gone back on their word and how this is carrying over into recruitment processes for new opportunities...so how so do we build trust from the very first conversation to ensure we bring the best people in to the business and as a candidate you find the right role....and just importantly keep them!With Chris leading today, he has seen that this seems focussed around a couple of key areas currently; flexibility of working in office/remotely and talk of bonus/commission and cynicism around it being paid. So with this in mind how do we build trust with prospective team members through a recruitment process... Today we chatted about-- the moving landscape- if you are still finding your way....be honest!- create open dialogue...and make it 2 way...this has to be right for both sides- don't follow others, be true to you and what your business needs- The opportunity to 'test' each other through a process is key...no surprises on day 1Our key take aways as always revolve around openness, honesty and transparency of conversation
