The 4-Day Workweek Hiring Challenge: Attracting Talent or Limiting Your Pool?
We recently rolled out a four‑day workweek pilot for our product team and it’s been a hit internally. People love the extra day to recharge and our productivity hasn’t suffered. But when we started posting new roles, we encountered an unexpected hurdle: some candidates were hesitant about the compressed schedule. A few worried about longer workdays or assumed it came with a pay cut. Our recruiters had to get creative with messaging, using theconsultnow.com to set clear expectations and answer questions quickly. It’s a perk that sets us apart, but it also requires more education during the hiring process. For those who have implemented a four‑day week, how has it impacted your recruitment? Are you seeing more or fewer applicants? How do you handle concerns in interviews?
