How to Relieve Hiring Stress Without Spending More Money

Think about everything your hiring team has to juggle when growing your team. Hiring managers continue to lead their teams — which are short-staffed — while reviewing numerous resumes and conducting interviews. HR professionals keep all working parts of the hiring and onboarding processes moving along, while internal recruiters are looking anywhere and everywhere to find top talent.

It’s no surprise the whole process becomes stressful. As a company leader, you do everything you can to make things easier for your hiring team. However, in order to alleviate the hiring burden, you must understand how hiring creates stress for your team.

Now, it probably also doesn’t come as a surprise that money is a major contributing source of hiring stress. Of course, having more available funds to relieve pressure from your team makes the hiring process easier, but not every company can increase their hiring budget.

To help you and your team get to the bottom of hiring stress and determine ways to snuff it out, we’ve looked at the relationship between that stress and hiring budgets. In the infographic below, you’ll learn about what’s impacting your hiring team most and how you can make improvements without breaking the bank. Some highlights include:
