In this episode of The Full Desk Experience, Kortney Harmon answers questions from our mail bag. Kortney answers questions about attracting talent, employee retention, and AI.

Artificial Intelligence for talent businesses is a hot trend right now. Everyone seems to be looking for that silver bullet. But what is AI, how can it help or hinder talent businesses, how is it the same or different from automations?

Keeping a healthy pool of passive talent engaged is great for your recruiters to come back to when that talent turns active. However, if used correctly, your sales team can also use passive talent to demonstrate the types of candidates you represent to prospective and new clients.

Do you have the talent in your pipeline today that adds value to your business and clients beyond what they can find themselves? In this episode of The Full Desk Experience, Kortney talks about the common mistakes you and your team might be making with passive talent and gives you several recommendations of how to turn that talent into pipeline.

Social media for recruiting and staffing firms is important. And not just for job posting. Create a brand for your company AND for yourself using social media.

In this episode of The Full Desk Experience, Kortney Harmon speaks with Chriss Hesson, Senior Product Consultant in Crelate’s Professional Services Department about how to proactively switch gears in a shifting market or possible recession. From looking at the metrics to evaluating your solutions, Kortney and Chris give you actionable takeaways to ensure success through a downward market trend.

Quiet quitting is the latest trend – or is it? Work-life balance has been a hot topic for many years under varying names. In this episode of The Full Desk Experience , Kortney Harmon talks recruiting and staffing leaders through quiet quitting and how intentional leadership can take quiet quitters to engaged employees.

Listen in on this episode of The Full Desk Experience as Kortney Harmon talks about the importance of using a process-driven training program to drive best practices and increase success within your team – and what might happen if you don’t.

The last couple years have been busy for your staffing or recruiting firm. Between a global pandemic, the Great Resignation, and now quiet quitting, the industry has been through a lot.

Quiet quitting isn’t a new trend. As a leader in a staffing or recruiting organization, you can get ahead of it with intentional leadership.

Your formal offer letter is one of—if not your last—touch with a candidate before they’re hired. You’ve worked incredibly hard to find the perfect person for the job, and you want it to look good. But you also need to make sure that it has all the information that your candidate needs to accept the offer and complete the final steps of the hiring process.

The job description is your first chance to present your brand and opportunity to candidates. It’s a way to find qualified candidates who are also passionate about the work you’re doing.

Now you need to schedule the interview at a time that works with the correct internal employees, hiring managers, and your candidate. You also need to get this done in a timely manner so you don’t lose your candidate to another opportunity.
