Talent Watch - Hiring Manager Relations Jun 08, 2020

Show notes

Having effective hiring managers is crucial for businesses looking to hire and develop the talent they need. For nearly 90% of job seekers, it is the impression they get of the person they will be working for that most influences their decision on whether to join. At the same time, one of the critical factors causing early employee attrition is a lack of faith in their manager.

Talent Watch is an ongoing series of research-based reports created my myself and Mervyn Dinnen that analyse and reflect the way the talent lifecycle is evolving, from attention to retention and beyond. In this special bonus episode of the podcast, we discuss some of the key findings from our recently published Talent Watch report on Hiring Manager Relations.
