For recruiters, the biggest bottleneck in the hiring process is not with the candidate or even the sourcing or posting efforts, it lies with the hiring manager and the time they take from evaluating candidates, to interview to offer for the best candidate. Hear from Craig Fisher and Jessica Miller-Merrell how to improve your relationship with the hiring manager that allows for a quicker time to fill and better quality job seekers and candidates. This is a great presentation to share with recruiters, talent acquisition leaders and your managers to hear how slow processes can keep you from working with the best talent at your company.
