Finally, some companies are reevaluating their hiring processes and trying to eliminate needless steps in order to find people amidst The Great Resignation. 🙌 So what is second chance hiring?
Key topics:
✔️ Is that the same thing as "boomerang hiring" and inviting a former employee to come back? No. Second chance hiring refers to hiring people with some type of criminal record.
✔️ Does your hiring process have tests that don't make any sense? Be relentless about improvement.
✔️ Are you asking a candidate with 10 years of accounting experience to take an Accounting 101 test as "proof" they know their stuff? Doesn't that seem condescending and unnecessary?
