The results of the poll are exactly what is wrong with TA (and some other fields as well): lack of Training and coaching.

When recruiters/sourcers finally take that step towards a manager role, the majority of them ‘survives’ which actually means that they fail as they constantly have to figure out how to be a good manager and the team often suffers from that as they need to support the gaps/flaws/etc. (which they won’t show or tell).

Basis Management training can easily done with an online course followed by on the job coaching. leadership however needs to be taught on the job and through live courses.

It why I love how some companies have a ‘shadow’ program and a hands-on trainig period.

I was lucky to get a formal leadership training back in my tech days. A few intensive weeks of learning followed by coaching/mentoring. It helped me massively!

I’ve never seen it in TA, nor heard about it from colleagues.

this is so true. Management / leadership training should be given to every employee - you never know who might be asked to step up, and you also never know which employees might actually thrive more as managers than operators

Great newsletter this week! The 4 box may best be categorized as Recruitment Analytics vs. Operations (this may be a way to help build the drawer Clair suggested).

Separately, I'm interested in taking part in the Tribune if possible. Thank you!
