    Remote hiring has unlocked global talent - but it’s also created a new challenge: trust 🤝 With AI tools becoming mainstream, more candidates are using them to answer questions during interviews. As a result, it’s getting harder to understand who a candidate really is, how they think, or whether they can adapt under pressure. That’s why the future of hiring isn’t just about AI-screened resumes or keyword matching. It’s about human capability - communication, resilience, curiosity, integrity, problem-solving. 🔎 The article below hits the nail on the head: if we want to hire better remotely, we need to focus less on what’s written on a CV, and more on who shows up when the camera turns on. 📹 Read more: https://loom.ly/nQwtadQ #Oscar #Hiring #Remote #Interviews

    Most people think recruitment agencies are “expensive”... But leaving a role open for 12 weeks is more expensive! Because every week that role sits empty, the bill gets bigger: 🧠 Internal burnout costs more. Your existing team absorbs the workload. Productivity dips. Morale drops. People make mistakes. Some start looking elsewhere. That’s not just tiring - it’s costly 💵 👎 Bad hires cost more. Rushed, reactive hiring often leads to the wrong person in the wrong seat. A mis-hire can cost 3-5x the salary when you factor in ramp time, lost performance, re-hiring, and cultural impact. A specialist agency reduces that risk dramatically 💫 🐢 Slow processes cost more. Dragging out your hiring cycle means competitors snap up the talent you’re still interviewing. By the time you’re ready to move, the market has already moved on ⏩ ❌ Lack of market insight costs more. If you’re unsure what the market is paying, how quickly candidates move, or what “good” looks like in 2025 - you’ll attract the wrong people and lose the right ones. Agencies live and breathe this data daily 😌 🔎 Missing the best talent? That’s priceless. Top performers are off the market in 10–15 days. If your hiring process takes 12 weeks, you’re not just missing people - you’re missing opportunities, revenue, and competitive edge! Experts exist for a reason! When the stakes are high - specialists win. 👑✨ #SpecialistRecruitment #Oscar #Recruit #ROI
