Recruiting Beyond 2020 - WATCH THE WEBINAR

Orion Talent’s first virtual summit, Recruiting Beyond 2020, was held on October 1 to kick off Q4 2020. Moderated by David Coe, Orion Talent’s Senior VP of Talent Programs, and featuring Diane Circo, VP of US Talent Acquisition for Siemens, and Ashley Valenzuela-Ruesgen, Corporate Director of HR for Hensel Phelps, the webinar covered how Diane and Ashley took the lessons from this challenging time and turned them into opportunities to drive lasting recruitment success that stretches far beyond 2020.

Recruiting Beyond 2020 arose from frequent questions we get from our partners and clients who want to know what works, what doesn’t, and how they should prepare for next year. The nearly 600 registrants included business founders, CEOs, COOs, CHROs, SVPs, and Directors of HR and Talent Acquisition, among many others, representing technology, healthcare, energy, manufacturing, financial services, hospitality, and retail - a testament to the keen interest in finding the silver lining for talent acquisition in these difficult times.

WEBINAR TOPICS

- Which remote recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding best practices to take forward - and which to leave behind.
 - How to turn talent acquisition “down time” into time spent on business-building activities.
 - Best practices for building culture in remote and hybrid environments.
 - Secrets to preserving work-life balance for the workforce.
 - Insights into how nontraditional recruiting approaches, such as RPO, are helping organizations build back strategically.

Are Your Hiring Managers Happy? Ask them!

Using Hiring Manager Surveys to establish a baseline of Hiring Manager satisfaction is a great way to define challenges in the hiring function and set a benchmark for future recruitment performance.

While the survey responses are subjective, Hiring Managers’ perceptions of the recruiting function are one of the most powerful metrics on the overall health of your recruiting functions. Any feedback that you get from your Hiring Managers will help you to define problems and develop a plan to make corrections to your process.

While you can certainly build out a survey on your own, we have created a sample ready-to-deploy survey that you can download.

Download the Hiring Manager Satisfaction Survey

You can distribute the PDF survey or use it as a template to create your own. No matter how you distribute it, though, set benchmark data from these hiring manager surveys prior to undertaking any formal process improvement efforts and use ongoing surveys to compare initial recruitment performance against continued performance.

Hiring Manager Surveys inform hiring managers that their input is valued and important. They will help you identify what is working and what is not, and focus on continuous improvement throughout your recruiting and hiring processes.
