Avoid your roles in Data & AI going unfilled for 6-12 months

I speak to companies that have had vacancies in Data & AI open for 9 months, sometimes even 12 months.

The obvious conclusion is that they can’t tap into the right talent pools, or that their hiring process is broken somewhere.

And that might be the case.

But with situations like this it is normally also the case that after 3-6 months they will have gained insights during the interview process that have caused them to pivot the role in some way.

So really it’s 2 roles they’ve been hiring for over the time period rather than 1

It just took 6 months to realise the first role wasn’t something that they really wanted to hire, or maybe even could hire.

6 months commercial downtime is a hell of a price to pay though to gain the insights you need to make the right hire.

Universe First™, our Exec Search solution, offers companies these insights upfront within days rather than months.

Meaning that when our clients go to market to hire, they already have all the insight they need to make confident hiring decisions.

These Insights are in the form of:

– Talent Mapping
– Compensation guides
– Talent Assessments & Analysis
– Talent Diversity & Background research
+ Much more.

If you don’t properly understand the Talent Marketplace but just steam ahead with recruiting anyway, you are setting yourself up to waste a lot of time & money, and ultimately seriously damage chances of success.
