10 Signs You Have a Broken Hiring Process - and what to do about it.
How can you know whether the hiring process is broken at your company?
Start by reviewing your company’s internal hiring practices. Ask key questions of all the stakeholders impacted by the performance and effectiveness of your hiring process.
If leadership is citing unfilled job positions and stymied growth in the same conversation, that’s a sign that something’s broken in your hiring process.

Here’s What You Can Do About It:
Get Everyone Involved in Crafting a Solution:
Human Resources and Talent Acquisition (HR/TA) are the departments that have direct contact with job candidates. If you suspect that there’s a problem with your hiring process, engage them. Make them a valuable partner as you work to fix your company’s broken hiring process. Encourage them to share the good, the bad, and the ugly of your hiring process. They should be able to share all types of experiences with leadership without fear of retribution.
However, if you want to bring about actual change in your organization, you’ll need to engage your leadership team. After all, they are ultimately the people in charge of the company’s organizational chart and shaping its culture. There are many contributors to a broken hiring process and many stakeholders who would benefit from fixing recruiting and hiring problems. The more stakeholders who can identify hiring problems and create solutions to fix your broken hiring process, the more likely you are to achieve substantive results.
Remember: A broken hiring process is often a sign of a broken workplace culture.
