Most HR Folks Don't Like Recruiting Anyway

#1 thing I hear when companies need to hire recruiters

When I talk to an HR contact who needs to hire a recruiter. Their personal motivation, 9 times out of 10:

👉They want recruiting taken off their plate. ASAP.

It’s literally the most common thing we hear.

We talk to creative and strategic HR folks all the time. Shocker: they like HR. If they wanted to do recruiting, they would.

It’s not that they don’t know how. Or can’t. A lot of HR peeps started their career in recruiting. Then they got out of it. Because
they hated it.

We’re not saying HR is the worst place to house recruiting.

We are saying: they’re two totally different functions. There’s always going to be some gap or level of friction between them.

Which is why we advocate for the Chief Hiring Officer. If you’re serious about scaling your hiring, put it at the top.
