It is pretty clear that every recruiter in the market has had their work cut out for them in this current climate especially across the Healthcare and Technology sectors.
The market is shifting in some locations with the US as a center of focus for layoffs. This has happened quite drastically from having to be quick, hire so fast, get things moving for the vacancies we have needed to fill.
Even though we are not seeing layoffs across Australia (yet?), it is making us all hold our breath for what is to come of this. Whilst the market adjusts itself, irrespective of where you are living, there are high chances that you may now be stuck feeling a little burnt out from the aftermath of zero hiring in 2020 to a crazy demanding hiring frenzy for many businesses since 2021 until now.
It goes without saying, the demand for talent has been intense. The demand for the same talent makes it extra tricky!
This has meant extra pressure for recruiters out there. Keeping up with the pace for hiring has been nothing short of : go, go, go.
Trying to streamline, come up with creative ways to attract, working on employer branding on a limited or no budget, reducing steps to a hiring process and negotiating more deliberately to beat our fellow recruiters to the competition.
It’s not the amount of work that causes burnout, but rather, the quality each recruiter wants to instill into the hiring process for better candidate experience and it translating to a happy hire in quick time.
That coupled with hiring manager ‘urgency’ = the ripple effect of pressure.
This part of recruiting never seems to change.
