HiringBranch

🎅 Think you’ve got what it takes to be Santa? Well once you’ve secured the red suit, the workshop, and a crew of steadfast reindeer, you’ve got to be able to fill his boots. We asked Mr. Clause to take the HiringBranch assessment, and it turns out it’s not just magic that makes this holiday happen, it’s a combination of serious soft skills. Take a look for yours(elves)! 🎄 https://lnkd.in/eMz6Pp5X #SoftSkills #SantaClaus #HappyHolidays

Our CEO and Co-founder, Stephane Rivard was recently featured alongside Mark Pereira, Trainer and On-Site Manager Briljent, and Petra Seals, Managing Principal, The Northridge Group to share his reflections and insights on the future of recruitment and retention with Contact Center Pipeline: https://lnkd.in/eC5xYEAP His biggest takeaway: “Contact center hiring leaders need to understand that they can and should hire for the right skills; the resume is dead.” What’s your take on resumes and the future of hiring? #recruitment #staffing #HRtech #resumes #contactcenter

We couldn’t agree more with CNBC: "The future of work isn't in tech skills, says recruiter—it's in soft skills." Research from Harvard University, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and Stanford Research Center shows that 85% of career success comes from well-developed soft skills and people skills. Hard skills—like technical expertise and knowledge—account for just 15%. At HiringBranch, we believe the same: ✨ Great hires need great soft skills ✨ #softskills #AI #CNBC

60% of high-volume #recruiters reported that too many low-quality candidates was their greatest challenge in 2024. What were the other two metrics they struggled most with?
