Dear Human Resources,
We’re sorry and we can do better.
We realize how important you are to the recruitment process, and you deserve to be kept in the loop…
…and not just kept in the loop, but treated as a valued contributor to the outcome.
You are left wondering most of the time and brought into the process only for offers of employment and onboarding activities.
You have a lot dumped on your plate and your contributions are often unrecognized and certainly underappreciated.
Your value surpasses being just a processor of contracts and you deserve a seat at the executive leadership table where decisions that impact your work are made.
Our relationship with you has been contentious for years, and transactional at best…
…we can do better.
Going forward, we’d like to complement your recruitment efforts, not compete against them.
Out of respect to you and your position, we will only engage in the recruitment process if you are in support of it and willing to partner with us.
The alternative to this is bad for business!
Sincerely,
The Recruitment Profession
