Top 6 Recruitment Challenges Faced by HR Professionals
The recruitment industry has been developed tremendously. While the advancements in technology have opened the paths to overcome the hiring challenges, the HR industry has to deal with newer recruitment challenges now.
Hiring the right candidate has never been an easy job. Recruitment problems can make it even more difficult for the HR professionals. They need to overcome these obstacles to find the best of all. Here is a list of top 6 recruitment challenges which restrict HR professionals to hire the right candidate.
Incomplete Candidate Profiles
Job portals are the primary source for hiring candidates. But the job portals are severally plagued with incomplete profiles of candidates. These profiles pose great hiring issues to the HR professionals. The number of complete profiles is comparatively less than the incomplete ones. Therefore, it becomes difficult to find the right candidate who has all the required skills while the profile is complete and up to date.
False Details
We all know that ‘hiring’ is not an easy task as industries have become more candidate-centric. I wonder how easily we rely on the information provided by the candidates without testing its authenticity. False details shared by the candidate leave the recruiters nowhere and they need to start the process from the beginning.
Long Notice Periods
Most of the recruiters face the issue of long notice periods of the employees which hampers the hiring process. It also poses a risk to the recruitment process as it gives an opportunity for the candidate to look for other job offers. The long notice period is one of the biggest recruitment challenges that HR professionals face currently. This also creates a cloud of confusion whether the candidate will stick to us or run somewhere else. All this results in restless follow-ups and restarting the complete hiring process again.
Overcharging Resources
In the race of hiring a smart and skillful candidate, some employers tend to pay twice or thrice the amount for a good candidate profile. This overpaying scenario leads to the trend of overcharging resources which becomes one of the major hiring issues faced by Human Resource Management. Additionally, it gives a big blow to the profit you are going to make for your services.
Snoozed/Sleeping Professional Social Media Accounts
In the era of technology and smartphones, how can we miss the importance of social media platforms that help us to stay connected with people? They play a vital role in communicating the professionals who are in a hunt of getting a good job. However, selecting the social media account that is active and up to date is certainly a hard call. The social platforms are plagued with snoozed or sleeping accounts which do not reply to the messages or calls. This also hampers the time management of the hiring process.
Finding the Right Blend
One of the major hiring issues that HR professionals face these is to find a candidate that has the right amount of skills and is good at communication. They both go hand in hand. A talented candidate with poor communication skills may find it hard to get the job. Therefore, the recruiters focus on finding the right candidate that has the right blend of both the aspects.
The path of choosing the right candidate could be tough and challenging. HR professionals need to overcome these hurdles to find the best one from the pool of talents.
