“Sometimes, you can’t even get a manager to meet for the intake alignment meeting, the crucial first step to agree on role requirements. Without it, the process breaks down,” says Katrina Collier, a recruiting veteran with over 20 years’ experience and the author of The Robot-Proof Recruiter and Reboot Hiring.
