Brainfood Live On Air - Ep300 - Hiring Manager Self Serve - the Past & Future of Recruitment?

HIRING MANAGER SELF SERVE - THE PAST AND FUTURE OF RECRUITMENT?   It was also the Past of Recruitment - where hiring managers were doing most of the work in hiring for their teams, everything from putting up adverts in shop windows, handling the first enquiries, reviewing CV's, screening candidates, scheduling interviews, interviewing candidates and then offering / hiring said candidates. Perhaps Personnel got involved in the contracts of employment, but 'recruitment' was once handled entirely by the line.   Could it be that this model returns, as AI improves to such an extent that a centralised TA function may not be the most optimal model?   Lets explore how some companies have shifted from centralised TA to empowering hiring managers to do more of the hiring work   - What conditions best suit centralised vs decentralised TA teams? - Pro's / Cons of decentralised vs centralised - What degree of hiring maturity is required for hiring manager self serve? - Retail franchises are the obvious business type for this model: which others? - How to avoid hiring managers bad practice in hiring? - Bias mitigation - realistic in HM? - How to ensure QoH in decentralised model? - What tools are best suited for this model - How does AI support hiring manager self serve? - What role does a recruiter continue to play in such a set up? - How can a business improve its hiring capability if we go hiring manager self serve? - What are the top things to remember if you are planning to making this shift?   We're with Martin Warren, TA Leader (ex-Grab), Lyndsey Taylor, Head of HR Transformation (Brooks Automation) & friends   We are on Friday 16th May, 2pm BST   Register by clicking the green button and follow the channel here (recommended)         Ep300 is sponsored by our friends at Ashby   Ashby is what an ATS should be: an integration of sourcing automation, AI-supported outreach sequencing, native interview scheduling, a searchable CRM, and advanced analytics – all in one ATS++ system.
