Staying in the Fight

by | Dec 18, 2024

The day-to-day work of recruiting can sometimes feel relentless.

How do you stay on track and not give up?

According to Rich Millington, connecting with a few close peers on the topic can really help.

Most communities (online or others) attempt to bring a large number of people together around a common topic of interest.

This approach often doesn’t lead to meaningful interactions.

The real power of an online community is to help members establish a small peer group of individuals whom they want to impress and emulate.

They need to have a private place to engage with their peers, share advice, and have a mentor who can support them.

They need to make real and strong relationships by being encouraged to speak openly about their thoughts and feelings.

If you’re in the recruiting trenches, find a few others who are fighting the same fight.

Even a simple email or chat group could give you a place to share your struggles, ideas, and successes.

You’ll be surprised how these interactions will renew your energy and give you the strength to continue the fight.

The Attrition Variables

The Attrition Variables

While these attrition constants still have the greatest influence, there are some emerging attrition variables worth noting. People also tend to leave companies when: They feel like they’re not doing as well as others in their peer group outside the company. They feel like they’re not as far along as they should be at a certain point in life.

If you’re not focusing most of your retention effort on these issues, you’ll miss the mark. If you’re not focusing most of your recruiting effort on exploiting these weaknesses among your competitors, you’re missing the best opportunities.

The Persistence Mindset

The Persistence Mindset

A leader equipped with this mindset can have a profound effect on the life and career of each individual they engage. It works because an agent is getting a real-time glimpse of what it would be like to work on your team. But it only becomes believable when it is persistently applied over time.
