False Sense of Hiring

Question

Is it me or are other getting the sense that companies say they are hiring and somewhat engage in the hiring process but never hire anyone?

Accepted Answer

Recruiting might be looking for candidates for roles not funded but will be in the future.

Answer

I have said before, there are companies which always keep an open position ad on their website to see what comes in. Its not that they are actively hiring, but if a golden candidate comes their way, they can grab that person.

Answer

I am trying to hire, but we know that hiring the wrong person is worse than not hiring anyone. Hence, where I am today.

Answer

I know when we were hiring a couple months back, we took our time interviewing because we really just wanted to find the right person for the role. So the same position was posted for a couple of months, but we were just continuously interviewing.

Answer

Some JDs state that they are looking to fill future roles. I tend to think applying for those makes a statement. "I'd like to work there. I'm willing to wait." Don't dismiss those. But yeah... any recruiter worth their salt needs a bench. You might be finding some of that.
