Feeling Incompetent & Struggling to Find Suitable Candidates

Feeling incompetent and struggling to find suitable candidates during recruitment can be a challenging and frustrating experience. However, there are a few things you can do to overcome these difficulties:


  1. Reassess your job description and requirements: It's possible that your job description is not attracting the right candidates or that your requirements are too strict. Take a closer look at what you're asking for and consider whether there's any room for flexibility.

  2. Expand your search: Sometimes, the best candidate for the job may not be immediately apparent. Try expanding your search to include other sources, such as job fairs, candidate databases like LinkedIn, professional organizations, or employee referrals.

  3. Revisit your selection process: It's possible that your selection process is not effectively screening candidates. Consider reviewing your selection criteria and methods to ensure that you're using the most effective tools and processes.

  4. Get outside help: Consider reaching out to recruitment agencies, headhunters, or other outside sources for assistance. These professionals have the experience and expertise to help you find the right candidate for the job.

  5. Address your feelings of incompetence: Feeling incompetent can be a difficult emotion to deal with, but it's important to address it in order to move forward. Consider talking to a supervisor or mentor about your feelings, seeking out professional development opportunities, or working with a therapist or coach to improve your confidence and skills.


Remember, recruitment can be a challenging process, but with the right strategies and support, you can overcome these difficulties and find the right candidate for the job.
