On one end of a short cyclical chain, every day and sometimes in seasons, dozens of jobs are listed on Linkedin and other job listing platforms. At the other end of this very short chain are the equally numerous applicants of all levels (junior, intermediate and senior) vying to land a job.
This is supposed to be a perfect match except that it isn’t. You still find that companies hire very wrongly. Hiring marketing talents that do not match the job description or objective for hire and who frankly might not be equipped to deliver results. The reason? Extensive to explain, so allow us to mention a few.
# A jampacked talent pool.
# Inaccurate objectives for hire.
# Talents lying on their CVs.
# Multiple options of jobs hence halfhearted applications.
# Inexperienced talents.
# Mismatched compensation.
# Putting out hires for the wrong niche of marketers, and a plethora of others rank as reasons for inefficient hiring.
By now, you get the gist. The traditional recruitment process is fast falling short of identifying and securing top-tier talent.
Hence the reason for this article, where you’ll see 5 solid reasons why you should be hiring your marketing talents from Blurpe and what you stand to gain from those hires.
