Introduction
As the job market evolves, the role of hiring managers becomes increasingly significant. In 2024 and beyond, they will be responsible for ensuring that new hires meet the company's standards. This requires identifying necessary skills and qualities, recognising red flags in interviews, and assessing candidates' abilities. By doing so, hiring managers can secure the best possible candidates for the job.
The Role of Hiring Managers in 2024 and Beyond
As the job market evolves, hiring managers in 2024 and beyond must meet changing expectations and demands. To attract the best talent, they need to be well-versed in the latest trends and technologies, assessing candidates' skills and experiences effectively. Additionally, they should identify potential candidates who possess the potential to learn and grow. Effective communication is crucial, providing clear information about the role and the company, as well as offering feedback and guidance throughout the hiring process. Agility and adaptability are key for hiring managers to navigate the changing job market and ensure a positive experience for all involved.
The Benefits of Skills-Based Hiring
The "Hiring Managers: State of Hiring and Retention" report by CareerBuilder (2023) offers pivotal insights into the role of hiring managers in the coming years, including an increased recognition of the importance of both hard and soft skills. According to the report, 41% of hiring managers think there’s a need to hire for both hard and soft skills. This is where skills-based hiring comes in. Skills-based hiring starts with a comprehensive understanding of the required hard and soft skills for specific roles. By focusing on the skills and competencies required for a job, hiring managers can ensure that the right candidate is chosen for the job.
According to Neil Davey from HRZone, a comprehensive approach to gathering data is crucial in determining the skill requirements for recruitment. This involves collecting information from diverse sources such as manager/employee surveys, industry data, and job specifications. By focusing on these skill requirements, the recruitment process can then utilise assessments and self-evaluations to validate applicant skills. This data-driven approach enables recruiters to make informed decisions based on best practices.
Additionally, traditional talent acquisition methods often overlook individuals who lack conventional credentials but possess the necessary skills. Taking a skills-based approach to hiring can unlock new talent pools, widening them by 10x according to Becky Schnauffer, Head of Global Clients at LinkedIn Talent Solutions. Not only does skills-based hiring attract a wider talent pool, but it is also more predictive of long-term job performance.
A McKinsey report highlights that organizations using skills-based job postings experienced a significant increase in appropriately qualified applicants, demonstrating the effectiveness of skills-based hiring practices.
Red Flags to Look Out for in Interviews
Based on CareerBuilder's report, the top interview red flags include: candidate's demeanour or attitude when responding (61%); consistent rescheduling by the candidate (55%); candidate's lack of problem-solving or other crucial skills (49%); and candidate's lack of experience (44%).
Hiring managers have a lot of responsibility in the recruitment process, and it's important to be aware of the red flags that can arise during an interview. One of the most common red flags is a candidate's demeanor or attitude when responding to questions. This can be a sign that the candidate is not taking the interview seriously or is not a good fit for the role. Additionally, if a candidate is constantly rescheduling their interview, this could be a sign that they are not committed to the role. It's also important to look out for a lack of problem solving or other key skills during the interview, as this could indicate that the candidate is not qualified for the role. Finally, a lack of experience can be a red flag, as it could mean that the candidate is not prepared for the role. All of these red flags should be taken into consideration when hiring managers are making their decisions in 2024 and beyond.
How to Ensure Quality of New Hires
According to CareerBuilder, 60% of hiring managers cite improving the quality of new hires as a top recruiting priority. The best way to ensure quality of new hires is to focus on the candidate vetting process. This includes asking the right interview questions, having training to accurately and objectively decipher if they are a good fit, and bringing in key team members to provide accurate and prompt feedback.
Collecting references for quality of hire scores is a great way to ensure the quality of new hires. It is also crucial to conduct thorough background checks to ensure the safety and integrity of individuals involved. By carefully examining their past experiences, qualifications, and references, organizations can make informed decisions and maintain a secure environment. Background checks provide valuable insights that help establish trust and mitigate potential risks.
Tips for Hiring Managers to Maximise Efficiency
According to CareerBuilder, the current state of the workforce has significantly impacted the hiring processes of 72% of hiring managers. As a result, expedited hiring or reconsideration of open roles has become common. Specifically, 41% of hiring managers have had to expedite the hiring process to fill open roles, while 39% have had to completely reconsider the open roles. Additionally, 33% have had to slow down the hiring process to fill open roles.
Furthermore, 42% of hiring managers are seeking ways to improve the speed of the hiring process. To meet these demands, it is crucial to streamline the hiring process and swiftly fill positions without compromising on quality.
One way to do this is by utilising candidate feedback surveys. According to "The Hiring Managers: State of Hiring and Retention" report by CareerBuilder (2023), 41% consider these surveys as a top recruiting tool to achieve their priorities. These types of surveys are used to improve the recruitment process by gaining insights into candidates' experiences and expectations.

Additionally, surveys can also help improve employer branding by showing candidates that their opinions are valued.
Another tip for maximising efficiency is utilising technology, such as applicant tracking systems (ATS) and artificial intelligence (AI). These tools can help streamline and automate various steps in the hiring process, such as scheduling interviews. Additionally, with the use of AI, they enable faster scorecard completion and enhance collaboration within the team. This not only saves time for hiring managers but also ensures a more fair and unbiased process.
The Future of Hiring Managers
As the role of hiring managers continues to evolve, it is crucial for them to stay ahead of the curve and be well-prepared to meet the changing demands of the job market. By embracing skills-based hiring, being attentive to red flags in interviews, and taking proactive steps to ensure the quality of new hires, hiring managers can confidently make the best decisions for their organisation and its future. This necessitates the adoption of flexible, inclusive, and technologically integrated approaches.
