Simplify to Scale: Streamlining Hiring Processes to Meet Demand

1 week ago | ere.net | Matt Lowney |Raghav Singh |Mark Murphy |Peter Crush

I love working with highly skilled, committed recruiters. The recruiters who just get things done by focusing on outcomes, while managing the needed processes in the background. However, in times of rapid growth or project deployments recruiting leaders do not have the luxury of identifying, hiring, training, and developing recruiters to this level of expertise.
Disability and Unconscious Bias in the Workplace: What We Overlook Hurts Us All

2 weeks ago | ere.net | Raghav Singh |Mark Murphy |Peter Crush |Rupert Morrison

Apr 8, 2025Despite significant progress, people with disabilities remain much less likely to be employed than their non-disabled peers. One key factor behind this inequality is unconscious bias — automatic judgments shaped by stereotypes and cultural conditioning, made without our conscious awareness. Research shows that over one-third of people perceive disabled individuals as less productive — a level of bias higher than what’s seen based on gender or race.
The arrogance of saying: “That’s just how I am”

Dec 10, 2024 | tlnt.com | Mark Murphy

Dec 10, 2024Every HRD will have no-doubt heard employees, leaders, and even (or especially), executives utter something along the lines of: “That’s just how I am,” or “I can’t change,” or “I won’t change who I really am.”Such declarations might seem like steadfast affirmations of self-identity, but they often reveal deeper issues, like arrogance, fear of vulnerability, and a fixed mindset. At the core of these assertions could lie a profound fear of vulnerability.
The Communication Styles Fix That Could Save Your Onboarding Program

Dec 3, 2024 | ere.net | Mark Murphy

Onboarding is Talent Acquisition’s (TA) and HR’s best opportunity to make a lasting impression on new hires—and too often, it’s a missed one. To be sure, some companies ace the process, but overall, myriad surveys find significant issues, including one in four new hires have cried within their first week on the job; nearly one-third of those who quit early report receiving little to no onboarding; only one in ten employees think their employer has done a great job bringing them onboard.
How HR can adapt employee communications to meet diverse needs

Dec 2, 2024 | tlnt.com | Mark Murphy

Dec 2, 2024Effective communication is a linchpin in any organization, especially within HR, where messages often reach every corner of the company. But while HR’s insights and updates are often crucial, they can also be met with misunderstanding or even dismissal by employees who don’t resonate with HR’s natural communication style. So why is this, and what can be done to change things?
Why grouping employees by generation is a misguided approach

Nov 29, 2024 | tlnt.com | Mark Murphy

Nov 29, 2024For years, businesses have been urged to consider generational differences in managing their workforce. We’ve all seen countless articles about how “Gen Z prefers this…” or “Boomers value that…” – I’m sure you get the picture. However, as someone who has spent decades researching workplace dynamics and motivations, I’ve come to this firm conclusion: grouping people by generation is a misguided and arbitrary way to think about a company’s workforce.
Are You Hiring Leaders Who Match Your CEO’s Goals?

Nov 4, 2024 | ere.net | Mark Murphy

Nov 4, 2024When a company sets its strategic direction, it’s not just a roadmap for the business—it’s also a guide for the leaders needed to make that vision a reality. Whether the focus is on steady execution, creative expansion, or aggressive growth, your leadership team must align with the CEO’s goals and the company’s broader strategic priorities. The problem is that too many organizations fail to hire leaders who match these evolving needs consciously.
The RTO debate: Why creative freedom may outperform rigid office policies

Oct 25, 2024 | tlnt.com | Mark Murphy

Oct 25, 2024Right now, it seems that you only have to mention remote working, and the topic triggers a whole host of feelings. The trouble is, like a lot of debates these days, the arguments on all sides are often frighteningly devoid of nuance. The simple truth about remote working is it works great for some people and certain types of work, and less great for other people and tasks.
Does Your Company Trust Its Ability to Hire?

Oct 21, 2024 | ere.net | Mark Murphy

How many interviews do candidates undergo at your organization? Is it two, four, or even more? When you’ve entered the territory of five or more interviews to make a hire, you can expect to start losing out on great candidates. Nothing expresses distrust in candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers more than an absurd number of interviews.
Encouraging self-growth might just be the development solution you need

Oct 14, 2024 | tlnt.com | Mark Murphy

Oct 14, 2024As any HR professional will tell you, fostering employee growth is a crucial part of employee recruitment and retention. Unfortunately, however, a recent study called Career Growth Or Stalled Progress, revealed that many workers feel unsupported in their career development. In fact, only 18% of employees said they were always excited about their career growth, and just 19% saw a clear path for advancement at their current employer. Why is this?
