As states are beginning the process of reopening, certain business sectors will come back to life quickly— and smart companies are building their pipeline of candidates now in order to meet the demand. While we are all preparing for the unforeseen “new normal,” it follows that every organization and industry will face unique circumstances and thus will have different hiring needs. Life will come back online, and when it does, companies need to be prepared to hire. NAS would like to offer a few thoughts to help you develop your hiring strategy and streamline the pipeline-building process.
Assess your needs. You need to take both a pragmatic and holistic approach in determining your hiring needs. What are your intentions? Do you need to hire ASAP, in planned stages or just consider candidates for future needs when the timing is right for your company? Whatever your particular situation, you still need to have a solid candidate pipeline in place.
