Does your organization have talent-acquisition tunnel vision? With everything that goes on during the hiring process, it’s easy to lose sight of how long-term factors influence your overall recruiting efforts. Current employees, prior candidates, and your organization’s leadership all have a part to play in hiring success. Before you tweak a job posting for the twentieth time, it’s worth your time to step back and get the bigger picture of what attracts candidates to your organization.
