The impact of social media has dramatically changed the recruiting strategies. Evaluating and screening candidates for job openings also significantly changed. Today’s organizational hiring processes consist of software programs, technology, and behavioral science. Once applicants have responded to your company’s recruiting efforts via LinkedIn, corporate website, or other social platforms, what are the most efficient and cost-effective ways that hiring managers can decide to pursue suitable candidates? The answer lies in a variety of methods from old-fashioned reference checking, software programs that manage hiring efforts, pre-employment assessments, and so on. Let’s look at some of the ways you can use these tools to streamline your efforts and quickly identify the most qualified candidates for your organization.

• Review and shortlist candidates resume and use software applications to screen them   

• Identify the need to check for reference and social media presence of candidates    

• Conduct remote interviews for the first round of scanning   

• Use assessments to gauge the candidates

Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.

Meetings are necessary, but they become intolerable when they drag on and on, start late, or the discussion goes off the track. It’s annoying when you feel that your time has been hijacked—especially when other projects and responsibilities are in the pipeline. Poor time management is often the cause of this distress. Meetings would be more productive—and less irritating—if all activities started on time, ended on time, and stayed on the topic. As a leader, it is your responsibility to ensure that meetings are of benefit to the participants and satisfy the meeting objectives. Running a successful meeting can be boiled down to three things: be purposeful, be engaged, and be respectful of the attendees’ time.

• Explain the importance of adhering to meeting time 

• Interpret the impact of delaying a meeting 

• Respect others’ time
