As a recruiter, Mitch joins Jon Speer on the show to break down five myths about QA/RA recruiting and discuss the dos and don\u2019ts medical device companies should consider when hiring these professionals.\n\nSome of the highlights of the show include:\n- Myth #1: Recruiting isn\u2019t necessarily the hiring manager\u2019s responsibility, but also involves Human Resources (HR) or Talent Acquisition to own hiring decisions. \n- Myth #2: No time to invest in recruitment process to hire elite talent because so much time is spent micromanaging average performers.\n- Myth #3: Trust your gut feeling. It\u2019s never wrong. You know an elite person when you see them. \n- Myth #4: Elite talent/top performers can\u2019t be hired because our business can\u2019t compete with perks and benefits offered by billion-dollar companies. \n- Myth #5: Elite talent is expensive. We can\u2019t afford to hire them because money is their top consideration. The best of the best won\u2019t work for peanuts.\n- Job Posts: Only 32% of people in the employment market are actively looking for a job, but up to 80% are open to opportunities.\n- Resumes should summarize role and outcomes delivered. Update regularly to create document that conveys a compelling and relevant story of contributions. \n- All Talk or True Talent: Conduct a test drive scenario to demonstrate and validate candidate\u2019s actual skills. The cost of a mis-hire is 13 times the leader\u2019s salary.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/575db73a-eb58-4bdf-837d-f6dff7c9a31f/b20d2bc4-ad37-4e53-acb9-c3caf4df2721.jpg"}
