Mid-Year Check-In: Is Your Hiring Strategy on Track?
Half the Year’s Gone. Are You Ahead, On Track, or Falling Behind?
As we close out June, many UK businesses are starting their mid-year reviews. But what about your recruitment performance?
Have you hired well — or simply reacted to pressure? Are you building a team for growth, or plugging gaps?
The Cost of Not Reviewing Your Hiring Strategy
If you’re not reflecting now, you risk:
-
Carrying poor hires into Q3
-
Wasting budget on rushed recruitment
-
Missing out on top talent that’s available in the summer lull
-
Overstretching your existing staff (and pushing them out the door)
3 Mid-Year Hiring Review Questions You Should Be Asking
-
Have we hit our hiring goals for H1?
-
Where have our hires performed well (or underdelivered)?
-
What roles will we need in Q3/Q4 — and do we have a plan to fill them?
