My hiring experience as an HR Recruiter says-you hire for your immediate 'interests' and not just 'needs'... When you are triggered by immediate interest, you say- need to hire now.... hiring as of yesterday.... loosing business.... I' m forced to say 'no' to clients....project teams are stressed...he/she may resign.. slow recruiting/low success hiring rate hurting my business, etc, etc. When you hire for needs, you hire and not lose out..not keep forgetting that you really need to hire and not keep shifting hiring goals as your needs are external (client) but interests are internal (Manager/team) ever agreed, Needs are planned, targeted, focused schedules and no changes accepted. No mid-term change in rules! Interests are selfish, shrude, critic, not trustworthy and ever changing, never accepted, never rallied together. If Recruiters go right, Company wins, If Recruiters go wrong, Recruiters loose. Interesting? Yes, no, maybe, But that's the norm! W
