As a talent leader, you know this much is true: you can source the best candidates on earth, build the most amazing employment brand, offer the best compensation packages and hire the best recruiters, but if your hiring teams aren’t engaged, you probably won’t score world-class talent.

If you want to change this reality, it’s going to take more than sending out a memo to your hiring teams with interviewing tips and process points. “I haven’t seen a lot of success with that sort of ‘push’ model,” said John Vlastelica, Founder and Managing Director of Recruiting Toolbox, a training and consulting firm that helps thousands of recruiters and hiring managers work smarter. “What does seem to work is being great at diagnosing where the pain points are for your engineering teams and designing programs to fix those issues. Then you have more of a ‘pull’ model, where the business is actually coming to you and asking for help.”
