+ About the Alaant Advisor
The Alaant Advisor is our column focused on all things going on in the world of recruiting, job placement, and search. Think of it as your weekly briefing—a handy, quick guide to what's going on.

Here's what's happening this week:

Last Week’s QOTW Poll Results:

Q: What’s the most frustrating part of the job search process?

  • Lack of communication - 57%
  • Length of process to apply - 29%
  • Negotiating pay - 5%
  • Other - 9%

Candidates applying to your role are already frustrated about some element of their situation (current job, manager, etc.). Why make things more complicated than it needs to be?  By explaining your process to them early and often, you can set good expectations on both sides of the arrangement. It's part of your brand. How you demonstrate it can help seal the deal to bringing you another great employee. Need help in implementing new ideas? The experts at Alaant are here to help.
