Tackling the Recruitment Iceberg

Picture an iceberg.  What you see above the surface is just a fraction of the real problem.

Now reflect on your recruiting processes.

Are there unfilled roles? High turnover? Candidate ghosting?  These are just some visible cracks in the ice – easy to spot but difficult to fix.

And the cracks are even more difficult to see when you’re standing on that iceberg.

It’s true, businesses rightly or wrongly focus on the obvious unfilled roles, high turnover and candidate ghosting because they feel urgent, but beneath the surface lies a much deeper freeze.

Below the waterline, hidden challenges lurk: poor employer branding repelling talent, inefficient screening that wastes everyone’s time, 100s of CVs, and bad hiring decisions slowly sinking team performance and morale. (Not to mention weak onboarding, hiring biases, and misaligned strategies).

Ignoring these deeper crevices is like trying to chip away at the tip of an iceberg with a biro, because the real concern remains below the waterline.

The solution?

Get in a boat, paddle away and then look behind you.

Engage with an expert, do a deep dive on your recruitment processes, address the root causes, and prevent hiring from turning into a slow-moving disaster.

Because when the ice cracks, it’s already too late.
