You’re an HR executive and your hiring challenges have become impossible to ignore.

Despite having successfully implemented so many key shifts and changes during the upheaval of the pandemic it’s this hiring crisis that runs the biggest risk of pulling your company down.

You have trouble attracting and retaining the right talent. You feel like there's a disconnect between your managers and your recruiters, like they're not on the same team. And you need to come up with a plan to address these challenges and build better performing teams.

There IS a common missing link among companies who struggle to successfully attract, select, and retain top talent.

It involves the effectiveness of their hiring managers.

Hiring managers are, in fact, vital partners in meeting a company’s talent goals and yet, they have been largely excluded from the talent acquisition process.

So even if your company has great attraction strategies, a strong recruitment team and solid recruitment processes, if your hiring managers are unable to define their hiring need and deliver a poor candidate experience, all of your investments are lost.

When looking more closely at the hiring managers’ behavior we see that too many of them are:

  • Delivering a poor candidate experience (and as a result losing the only candidates you have)

  • Always wanting to see ''more candidates"

  • Cancelling interviews or rescheduling them

  • Unwilling to consider candidates with transferable skills

  • Rejecting candidates based on ‘’fit’’ without providing any clear feedback

  • Unwilling to invest time to ‘’partner’’ with HR on solutions

It goes without saying that these behavior patterns are hugely detrimental to meeting your hiring needs, especially in a time when:

  • One company out of two is having to say no to work because they don’t have enough employees

  • of companies say their biggest challenge is hiring

  • of turnover is due to bad hiring decisions

  • And that’s exactly why we have put our years of experience and our passion for talent acquisition together into a skills-based training that addresses your hiring managers’ needs.

    We firmly, believe because we’ve seen it happen time and time again with the companies we work with, that when you turn your hiring managers into strategic partners within your Hiring ecosystem, and you give them the skills they need to be

  • highly effective at selecting and securing the right candidates for your company, you will see a huge boost to the success and retention rate of your talent acquisition process.

    Not only will you attract and retain top talent, but you’ll also solidify your company’s reputation as an employer that people want to work for and build a career with.

The training you need to transform your hiring managers into the strategic partners you need them to be is HERE.

Training that will teach your hiring managers the skills that will help them stop hiring on their gut instinct and start assessing potential candidates based on how they align into your hiring strategy instead.

We know how transformative it truly is because we’ve helped so many companies just like yours address their hiring challenges and turn hiring managers into strategic partners who can expertly meet your most pressing hiring needs.

Stephanie Jean

Talent Acquisition Leader

MDF Commerce wanted to provide managers with best practices in talent acquisition. The Talent IQ team understood our challenges and needs. They accompanied us throughout the process and developed a customized training program adapted to the reality of our organization. We highly recommend their services.

Marie-Hélène

Hiring Manager

This made me question what type of hiring manager I am and I see that I am not a hiring ace. I also liked the handout on team skills gap analysis. The reference guide is very practical and clear. I think there are portions of this training that we should also give to members of our team who are involved in interviews.

Patricia

Strategic Leader, Talent & Culture

We used the TalentIQ platform to train our hiring managers on the ABC's of talent acquisition and how to become a partner of choice to attract the best talent. The information was very relevant to our company, which helped us get our hiring managers on the same page and get all our managers up to speed (both our new managers and our managers with over 25 years of experience). Nice tool and excellent training that I highly recommend.

Catherine

Hiring Manager

I found the portion on unconscious bias an important reminder that we should all have.

Yan

Hiring Manager

It made me think about what type of hiring manager I am and highlighted my shortcomings. I'm used to doing casual interviews and then rushing to ask my questions.

Valérie

Hiring Manager

I enjoyed the experience of this training. It is very easy to find and I learned a lot of things like the importance of doing structured interviews and what questions not to ask.
