Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with a group of hiring managers at a conference hosted by the Society for Information Management. It’s an organization that encourages networking and education for technology leaders.
But the group I spoke with wasn’t just any group of hiring managers. They’re frustrated. Hiring can be a hard business to be in, and they’re struggling to recruit the best, most talented employees.
I shared an insider’s point of view on hiring, based on trends I’ve noticed in my coaching. In particular, I shared what it is that gets under the skin of job seekers.

Tell me if this scenario sounds familiar: You have a phone interview with a hiring manager. It goes so well, that you’re asked to do a second interview. Then an in-person interview. Then a panel interview. Then…crickets.
This happens to all of us at some point in our job search. The interview process seems to go great, then all of a sudden we hear nothing from the hiring manager who has usually been contacting you very regularly up until this point. I talked to a few hiring managers to find out what’s really going on and what they wish you knew about the process (spoiler alert: it’s often as frustrating for them as it is for you).
I’d love to hear from you – what’s the most frustrating part of the job process for you as a job seeker? E-mail me at Angela(at)CopelandCoaching(dot)com.
