How great hires happen?

Recruitment might seem simple – post a job, review resumes, hire someone. But the reality? It’s a dynamic process filled with strategy, intuition, and hard work. Let’s pull back the curtain on what really happens when recruiters find that perfect match.

More than just a job post

Before a job is even posted, recruiters dive into the company’s goals, team culture, and role specifics. We fine-tune job descriptions to attract top talent and ensure the offering is competitive in today’s market. It’s about standing out and connecting with the right candidates.

Finding hidden talent

Resumes don’t just land on our desks. We scour LinkedIn, attend events, and tap into professional networks to find candidates who aren’t actively job-seeking. The best matches often come from building relationships with passive talent.

Screening beyond the resume

A great resume tells part of the story, but screening calls dig deeper. We assess skills, motivations, and cultural fit to ensure a candidate doesn’t just have the qualifications—they’re also the right personality for the team.

Interviews that count

Interviews aren’t just a Q&A session. We prepare candidates and guide hiring managers to ask meaningful questions, ensuring both sides get the insights they need. Coordination and feedback loops are key to keeping things moving smoothly.

Closing the deal

Negotiations require a delicate balance—salary discussions, competing offers, and ensuring the candidate feels valued. For us, it’s not just about getting a “yes” but about starting a journey of trust and growth.

Beyond the hire

The story doesn’t end with a signed offer. Onboarding, feedback, and follow-ups ensure both the candidate and the company thrive in their new partnership.

Recruitment is part strategy, part art, and all heart. It’s about connecting people with opportunities where they can grow and excel. Next time you hear about a great hire, remember the behind-the-scenes magic that made it happen!

The new era of AI recruitment.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries worldwide, with innovations pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. From healthcare to finance, AI is driving efficiency, enhancing decision-making, and enabling companies to remain competitive in an increasingly complex world.

One of the most notable trends for us, as a talent agency, is the integration of AI into recruitment. Businesses are leveraging AI to streamline hiring processes, reduce bias, and match candidates with roles based on more than just resumes. AI-powered tools can analyze candidates’ hard and soft skills, predict job success, and provide deeper insights, making recruitment faster, more precise, and less prone to human error.

At Global Find New Job, we are also embracing this AI-driven transformation. Our team is actively working on an AI-powered product designed to revolutionize the hiring process. Set to be launched in the upcoming months, our product will offer innovative solutions to better assess candidates, helping businesses find the perfect fit for their teams with greater speed and accuracy.

As AI continues to evolve, its impact on recruitment is just beginning. We’re excited to be a part of this transformation and look forward to offering cutting-edge tools that will shape the future of hiring.

Tech recruitment in 2024: what’s changing and why it matters.

The tech hiring landscape is changing quickly, and new trends are shaping how companies find and hire talent.

🤖One big shift is the use of AI in recruitment. AI tools are now helping recruiters screen resumes, match candidates to roles, and make faster, more accurate hiring decisions.

🌍Remote and hybrid work are also becoming the norm in tech. Tech professionals value flexibility, and companies are offering remote options to attract talent from a wider geographic area, which also brings in more diverse skills and perspectives.

💡Another trend is a focus on hiring for skills rather than specific degrees or years of experience. With more people learning through online courses and bootcamps, companies are looking at what candidates can actually do rather than where they studied. This makes it easier to find talent with the exact skills needed for the job.

🏢Employer branding has become crucial, too. Companies are highlighting their unique culture, career growth opportunities, and benefits to stand out to potential candidates, especially in a competitive market.

🌈Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are also top priorities. Tech companies are actively working to create inclusive workplaces and attract a diverse range of candidates, which strengthens their teams and brings new perspectives to the table.

🔐☁️Finally, demand for roles in cybersecurity and cloud computing is soaring. As cyber threats increase and more businesses move to the cloud, tech companies need experts who can keep data safe and manage cloud-based systems.

For recruiters, understanding these trends is key to successfully attracting and hiring top tech talent. Staying aware of these changes helps ensure they are meeting the needs of today’s tech workforce.

Why working with a recruitment agency beats in-house hiring.

Hiring the right talent is crucial, and recruitment agencies offer unique advantages that internal teams often can’t match:

Wider talent pool. Agencies access a broader network, including passive candidates who aren’t actively job-hunting, giving you more options.

Specialized expertise. With industry-specific knowledge, agencies match candidates faster and more precisely.

Cost & time savings. Agencies streamline the hiring process, saving you time and reducing the cost per hire.

Flexible scaling. Scale up or down easily based on your hiring needs without increasing your fixed HR costs.

Advanced tools. Agencies use cutting-edge tech to find top talent efficiently, delivering high-quality candidates.

Partnering with a recruitment agency lets your team focus on core functions while ensuring you get the best talent – faster and smarter!

Hiring today is not the same as it was in 2021, and this means…

– A well-crafted resume highlighting your achievements that stands out to hiring managers. Your job title and a couple of lines about your duties might have been sufficient in 2021, but not anymore; the competition is too high now, unfortunately.

– The requirements for candidates are higher than described in the job posting. You will be competing with people of various seniority levels, often 1-2 levels higher than you for the same pay, so meeting all the criteria doesn’t guarantee success. Just keep this in mind and don’t take rejection personally.

– When going for an interview, know not only the name of the company but also as much as you can find about it and show your interest. As mentioned above, сompetition leads to a more careful selection of candidates.

– Your networking: recommendations, reposts, contacts. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is fully updated.

– Having excellent hard skills is not enough. No one will tolerate a toxic person, even if they are very skilled. Professional ethics matter – respect the people around you.

10 Common Job Interview Questions and the meaning behind them.

Why do interviewers ask these specific questions and what do they want to find out?
Below is a list of 10 common job interview questions.

1. Could you tell me about yourself and describe your background in brief?

Interviewers like to hear stories about candidates. Make sure your story has a great beginning, a riveting middle, and an end that makes the interviewer root for you to win the job.

2. How did you hear about this position?

Employers want to know whether you are actively seeking out their company, heard of the role from a recruiter, or were recommended to the position by a current employee. In short, they want to know how you got to them.

3. What type of work environment do you prefer?

Your preferred environment should closely align to the company’s workplace culture (and if it doesn’t, it may not be the right fit for you).

4. How do you deal with pressure or stressful situations?

The employer wants to know: Do you hold down the fort or crumble under pressure? They want to make sure that you won’t have a meltdown when the pressure becomes intense and deadlines are looming. The ability to stay calm under pressure is a highly prized talent.

5. Do you prefer working independently or on a team?

Your answer should be informed by the research you’ve done on the company culture and the job in question. Nevertheless, you should expect that most work environments will have some team aspect.

6. When you’re balancing multiple projects, how do you keep yourself organized?

Employers want to understand how you use your time and energy to stay productive and efficient. They’re also looking to understand if you have your own system for staying on track with the work beyond the company’s schedules.

7. What did you do in the last year to improve your knowledge?

This question may come up as a result of the pandemic. Employers want to know how people used their time differently. Know that you don’t have to feel scared about answering this question if you didn’t spend your time brushing up on skills or taking courses. We learn from any experience we have.

8. What are your salary expectations?

Before you walk in for your first interview, you should already know what the salary is for the position you’re applying to. Check out websites such as Glassdoor, Fishbowl, or Vault.com for salary information. You could also ask people in the field by reaching out to your community on LinkedIn.

9. Are you applying for other jobs?

Interviewers want to know if you’re genuinely interested in this position or if it’s just one of your many options. Simply, they want to know if you’re their top choice. Honesty is the best policy.

10. From your resume it seems you took a gap year. Would you like to tell us why that was?

Gap years are more popular in some cultures than others. In some professions, gap years may have a negative connotation (the industry moves too fast and you’re not up to date).

An intermediate update from the recruiter.

Are updates like “no update so far” appreciated?

Yes, absolutely 💯

Imagine you’ve interviewed a great candidate, presented them to a hiring manager, and now you’re waiting for a response. As time goes by with no communication, the candidate is left in the dark, feeling a mix of hope and anxiety.

From the company’s side, unexpected events like urgent business releases or interviewer illnesses might cause delays. While these reasons are understandable, transparent communication is crucial to manage candidate expectations.

Even in situations where there’s “no update so far, unfortunately,” a transparent acknowledgment of ongoing processes, with a sincere apology for any delays, is highly appreciated.

This helps maintain a positive candidate experience.
Candidates appreciate transparency 🙏

Without updates, they may doubt their qualifications or whether they made a good impression. A simple update, even if there’s no significant news, shows respect for the candidate’s time and effort.
