I am being asked to slow down recruitment while teams are already stretched. “Pause hiring” sounds simple in a meeting. It looks very different on a ward that is already short. I find myself stuck in the middle of two realities that do not match. How do you balance budget decisions with what staff are actually experiencing?

I think you need to look at why is the team stretched. Sometimes it truly is due to being under staffed but often it can be due to employees who don’t handle change well and are not working as effectively or efficiently as they could be because they are unwilling to try new ways of doing work. In dealing with something similar now. The metrics show the task quantity is decreasing but the employees are feeling overworked.

I get your point, but I think it can be risky to assume it is mainly resistance. On a ward, staffing gaps are real and immediate. If metrics drop, I would question workload and capacity first, not just behaviour.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

After spending 4 years as a mid-level ops manager, I tried to break into HR through talent acquisition. Now after 6 years in TA, I've had a hard time getting out of it. My goal was always to get into a more broad HRBP position, but I've since worked for smaller orgs without a solid HR career path. When I ask about my career goals, they keep telling me, "Soon!" Or "Maybe in 6 months!"

I'm testing SPHR in June. Any advice for securing the type of role I'm aiming for?
