The Mismatch Between Recruiters and Hiring Managers

In episode 17 of Hiring & Firing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into one of the most persistent friction points in talent acquisition: the broken handoff between recruiters and hiring managers. They unpack a case study from a mid-size tech company that saw its time-to-hire balloon to 120 days because the recruiter and the hiring manager had never aligned on what 'qualified' actually meant. Lucas walks through the data: how misaligned expectations lead to a 40% higher chance of a bad hire, why the recruiter is often blamed for candidates who were never a fit, and the simple three-question alignment framework that cut time-to-hire by 30% at one firm. Luna challenges whether recruiters should push back harder on vague job reqs, and they land on a practical tool that any team can use before posting a role. No jargon, just the mechanics of getting two key people on the same page. #RecruiterHiringManagerAlignment #TalentAcquisition #HiringProcess #TimeToHire #JobDescriptions #CandidateExperience #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #HiringAndFiring #LucasAndLuna #WorkforcePlanning #BadHireCost #Recruiting #HiringManager #InterviewProcess #AlignmentFramework #HR Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
