Hi! I’m new to the tech industry in San Francisco. I manage a team of 5 people in recruitment. One of my hiring managers is slow to respond and causes confusion around what her team needs. I’ve recently learned she’s been blaming me for being her bottleneck behind the scenes and telling people my team and I aren’t delivering for her. I’ve tried to have a meeting with her and she avoids me like the plague. Im at a point where I need to cya. Any tips on working on solution?

It seems like you might have to get someone else involved to facilitate. Or you could just copy her team in when you email her things...

100% cover yourself. She's playing the blame game because she knows she's in the wrong

In order to avoid this in the future an intake meeting at the beginning of any open role sets clear expectations. Having it in writing, specifically their preference of communication and their responsibilities to fill this role.

Thanks, we do intakes.

Definitely copy the team when you communicate, and make your messaging clear with a "call to action." If you can't get a time to meet with her, there is an issue and you will have to determine if this is a place you can succeed given the circumstance.

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
