How to Approach Mass Hiring

When you start the hiring process as a hiring manager, you have some sort of expectation in your mind about who you want to hire, how many applicants you should have, and when you would like the position filled.

Funny how that happens...Anyway, if you get through all of the nitty gritty of the hiring process and are prepared to actually hire someone (or multiple people at once aka “mass hiring”) it’s important to be prepared for the benefit of both you and those looking to work with you.

As 2019 comes to a close in just a few short days, let’s reflect back on Marketing Trends we loved this past year.
