A recruiting leader recently said to me – “I used to think of my job as filling roles. Now I think of it as de-risking business decisions.”
Resourcing decisions are among the most important decisions any leader makes when they set strategy. The success of that strategy then depends on the people in place.
And great recruiting de-risks that strategy.
It is a simple and powerful reframing that changes how you approach the job. It made me wonder if I’m due a similar reframing.
