Brown notes that when a company finds themselves with an open position, they always want to fill the vacancy quickly. However, they have to start from scratch in finding candidates, so they often fall back on old ineffective methods. 'The fastest way that someone can shorten the hiring time is by identifying silver medalists and proper pipelining,' says Brown.
Over the years, we've covered ways to address the so-called 'pipeline problem' in hiring by tackling unconscious bias in interviews and writing about the importance of expanding candidate pools; we've talked about removing degree requirements and how AI can help target the skills that are needed to succeed in a job, rather recruiters focusing too narrowly on a candidate's past experience.
Still, too often when a company finds itself with an open position, they fall back on the same broken methods: mining leadership's narrow professional networks or posting the same ineffective job ads in the same places.
