Beth Wolfe On Overcoming Recruitment Challenges with Leadership Alignment

Recruiters aren’t supposed to just take orders from upper management. At least not if you ask Beth Wolfe, Senior Director of Recruiting at Daxco. She says recruiters need to have open dialogue with hiring managers in order to achieve shared talent acquisition goals. In our Hire Quality conversation, Beth outlines how to build rapport to become a strategic partner with the hiring managers—not just an order taker. 

Tune in to learn how to foster deeper connections with hiring managers and how this can help you drive change and gain support for recruitment initiatives. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Building Trust and Driving Change: Strong connections with senior leadership can help push for process changes and advocate for non-traditional candidates. Having leadership's buy-in is huge.

• The Efficacy of Strategy Sessions: Rebranding intake meetings as "strategy sessions" allows TA specialists and hiring managers to set realistic expectations and be aligned on a course of action together. 

• Being Intentional about Diversity and Inclusion: Looking for different types of candidates can be challenging but rewarding. Technology and AI tools can help recruiters diversify their pipelines with significant ease.
