Whenever I travel to conferences and trade shows, I talk to top HR managers and recruiters who all seem to share the same characteristic – you work a lot of hours! In my small sample recently of 33 recruiters, the average number of hours worked per week was 55. That says to me that some of you are really working a lot more hours than you probably want to – or in an ideal world, more than you probably should. So - what would it take to get you off duty for a few more hours each week? If you regularly work more than 45 hours per week, and you spend a large chunk of those hours recruiting tech professionals, share with us. What eats up most of your recruiting time that shouldn’t? Post your challenges below. Recruiters and HR People Work 55-Hour Weeks
