\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>I remember dating.\u00a0 Sometimes it was fun, and other times I think I remember feeling like I would rather be locked in my room than to be on that date.\u00a0 Usually I knew pretty quickly if there was chemistry or a match.\u00a0 I can’t imagine doing it again.\u00a0 I am so grateful to be married- I can’t even tell you.<\/p>\n

When I was dating, I remember saying and being told “I think we should date other people”.\u00a0 It sucked.\u00a0 Sometimes I felt like everything was “perfect”.\u00a0 I felt like we were made for one another.\u00a0 The person dating me didn’t feel that way AT ALL.<\/p>\n

You know what I am saying right?\u00a0 You have been there?<\/p>\n

Of course you have been there.<\/p>\n

See, the fact is they were “just not that into me” or\u00a0 I wasn’t into them.\u00a0 There was something missing.\u00a0 It wasn’t their fault or mine, but there wasn’t interest in moving forward with one another.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last year, I saw quite a few people (and more than in years prior) who were telling employers “No”.\u00a0 Call it a great economy.\u00a0 Call it the candidate’s revenge.\u00a0 Call it egos.\u00a0 Call it entitlement.\u00a0 I don’t care what you call it.\u00a0 It happened.<\/p>\n

Companies are hiring like crazy.\u00a0 It has been this way for a number of years, but there aren’t any signs of it slowing down anytime soon.\u00a0 Candidates are getting poached by every Tom, Dick, and Harry recruiter out there.\u00a0 Yep, candidates are feeling indestructible.<\/p>\n

I don’t blame them.\u00a0 Sometimes I feel like we almost need a recession to reel back in reality.<\/p>\n

Let me say this. In 2018, companies that are going to have successful recruiting efforts are going to have 5 things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a good product<\/li>\n
  2. a good reputation in the marketplace<\/li>\n
  3. good leadership<\/li>\n
  4. good pay (at market or above)<\/li>\n
  5. good culture & work life balance<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Seems simple right?\u00a0 Well, it is not.\u00a0 If you can’t offer those 5 basic and simple things, you are going to get your ass kicked by the competition.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>See, through the interview process, companies are getting rejected by candidates as often or more than companies are rejecting THEM.\u00a0 Why is this happening do you ask?<\/p>\n

    The answer is simple.\u00a0 They are JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU.\u00a0 They have other opportunities that are more intriguing.\u00a0 They have another company that offers them the 5 things that YOU DO NOT.<\/p>\n

    If you are having a hard time getting this, go back to the dating analogy because at it’s core- that is what is happening.<\/p>\n

    If you are having cancelled interviews, difficulty filling roles, candidates saying “No” after an interview process, then you may want to look at what your company is doing and make a few changes.<\/p>\n

    You will need to be different and spectacular<\/em><\/strong> to win the best of the best this year.<\/p>\n

    It can happen.\u00a0 Look at your leadership, pay, company reviews and make sure you can answer objections because these will be the determining factors for the candidates to finally say “YES” to the hire you have been trying to make.<\/p>\n
