Recruitment in Focus: Kristin Vestring Aas Shares Insights from Her Recently Published Book «Attract More, Hire Better».
In the latest episode of «Rekrutteringsrådet» (The Recruitment Council), Sverre Haugen and author Kristin Westreng Aas discuss her recently published book, «Attract More, Hire Better: A Headhunter's Secret.» Aas, CEO of the recruitment company Kløkt, takes listeners on her journey through the recruitment profession and shares her experience from 30 years in the field.
The book is intended to be a practical guide for both managers and HR professionals. Aas argues that recruitment competence is critical for driving effective recruitment, and she introduces a model called «FAKTA» which structures the process from preparation to candidate evaluation. According to Aas, it is crucial for managers to gain better insight into how recruitment actually works in order to avoid common mistakes and biases, which can hinder diversity and equality in the workplace.
The podcast also addresses important themes such as discrimination and bias in recruitment processes, and Aas expresses a strong desire for increased competence in recruitment to contribute to a reduction in prejudice in hiring processes. She, who on several occasions has used LinkedIn to share her knowledge, emphasises the importance of communicating information about recruitment in an accessible and engaging way.
Kristin Westreng Aas’ book is not just a non-fiction book; it also serves as a «cookbook» for those who wish to improve their recruitment methods, and has received positive feedback from both managers and HR specialists who want to raise their competence in the field.
