🎗️ It's crucial to be clear and consistent in your communication across all channels. - Whether you're chatting in person, sending an email, or giving updates in a meeting, make sure your message is concise and easy to understand - Key metrics like time-to-fill, candidate quality & diversity, and offer acceptance rates should be shared regularly to keep everyone on the same page and drive the hiring process forward - Check for understanding: ask your HM to put a thumbs up in a slack message / or question mark for any point that's unclear - Ensure you are reaching your HM at his/her most preferred communication channel

Look to your team of recruiters to glean more info about your hiring manager's work / hiring style! 💡 Ask other recruiters who have worked with the hiring manager about their experiences and what to expect. Or ask for best practices & tips!

💡 When you're meeting your hiring manager for the first time and throughout the hiring process, it's important to show that you're credible.

💡 Uncooperative hiring manager costs the company $$$ - present the data! 👇 💵 For example, if the delay causes a top candidate to accept another offer, the cost of losing that candidate could range from $25,000 to $50,000 or more, considering recruitment costs, lost productivity, and potential revenue impact from not having the right talent in place 💵 Additionally, prolonged time-to-fill can result in increased overtime costs for existing employees, estimated at $2,000 to $5,000 per week per open position 💵 Furthermore, delays can lead to increased recruiting costs, with an average of $4,000 to $7,000 per hire for professional and technical positions

🎗️ Creating a space for easy communication and collaboration between the delegator and delegates is essential for project success. - Establishing clear channels, such as regular check-ins (weekly or bi weekly if the project is shorter) or a designated communication platform (slack or teams), ensures that everyone stays informed and aligned. 💡 As the delegator, being accessible and open to questions or clarifications throughout the project encourages a supportive environment where issues can be addressed promptly, leading to smoother workflows and better outcomes.

💡 Evaluating and learning from delegation tasks is crucial for continuous improvement and team growth. Here are some creative ideas: - Hold "delegation debrief" meetings to discuss what went well and areas for improvement - Implement a "reverse mentoring" program where junior team members provide feedback on the delegation process - Use a "lessons learned" document to capture insights and best practices - Conduct "role reversal" exercises where team members delegate tasks to their managers to gain perspective - Host a "delegation simulation" workshop to practice and refine delegation skills
