It’s Tough to Assess Talent We all know assessing job candidates is difficult and highly subjective – especially when interviewers are not technical or domain experts. In many companies, there may only be one person who knows a great interview answer when they hear it. In many cases, these are busy hiring managers. Phone Interview Collaboration Recruiters already […]

Honeit CEO Nick Livingston joins Hire Power Radio to discuss proper interview communication and ways to incorporate them effectively for the Hiring Process.

Adam Gordon and Nick Livingston discuss how to share highlights from recruiting intake calls for better candidate engagement and attraction.

Honeit was recently featured on the Chad and Cheese HR Podcast. Listen to Honeit CEO Nick Livingston face Joel Cheeseman and Chad Sowash on the Firing Squad.

In a previous post, I wrote about the transition from agency headhunting to corporate recruiting. But it was only when I first became a hiring manager (newly-minted recruiting manager), that I finally experienced a complete view of the hiring process. Only then did I understand the opportunity for better interview communication among candidates, recruiters and […]

Honeit co-founder Nick Livingston had the opportunity to write a guest blog post on RecruitingTools.com about the challenge of articulating what makes a candidate great to another recruiter, a hiring manager or a staffing customer. Here’s a quick teaser… How does your company describe “great” talent? I’d say you know talent when you hear it, but articulating why someone […]

  How many phone interviews does it take to hire someone? Today’s phone interview experience has become a nightmare for candidates, hiring managers and recruiters alike. Why so many redundant phone conversations to get to the root of a candidate’s qualifications?  How did we get to this?  Roles and job requirements are becoming increasingly specialized. It’s […]

Similar to describing taste or flavors, the ability for a recruiter to articulate what stood out on a phone screen, will never compare with a hiring manager hearing a candidate’s answer for themselves.

Last year, the image below was making its rounds on social media. It’s an excellent visualization of how even a simple solid object can be seen from unique perspectives. Getting two parties to agree on whether this was a cube or a cylinder, would be nearly impossible. Candidates are complex. When I think about today’s interview process to […]

Staffing agency recruiters and internal corporate recruiters have a lot in common. While the incentive structures are different, at the end of the day, both professionals are motivated to source, screen and submit the best candidates to their clients. It’s really a symbiotic relationship. Internal recruiters need to prove their worth, by demonstrating they can […]

We often forget about the hiring manager experience. Ironically though, neglecting the hiring manager experience only worsens the candidate experience.

We often talk about the skills gap in America. The idea that the qualified talent ‘supply’ of the US population does not meet the qualified talent ‘demanded’ by U.S. companies. There are plenty of recent, interesting and complicated articles that debate this claim. However, I’d argue the increasingly murky definition of ‘qualifications’ for many jobs in the […]

As an HR Technology enthusiast and recruiting practitioner, the idea of requiring candidates to record themselves answer one-way interview questions has always troubled me. I’ve always considered one-way video interviews to be a terrible candidate experience that deter the best and brightest and that send the wrong message to my executive team. If you’ve ever […]
