What is a Hiring Statement?
A Hiring Statement is a short, positive, non-discriminating statement about the employee characteristics needed to fulfill your Mission Statement. It is a constant reminder of the talent you need to succeed. You can have one company wide or by individual departments.
Why Is a Hiring Statement Important?
A clear and non-discriminatory hiring statement is crucial for several reasons:
- Aligns with Mission: It directly supports your organization in reaching its mission statement goals.
- Improves Culture: By attracting individuals with desired traits, it helps cultivate a positive and productive work environment.
- Boosts Engagement: Employees who embody the characteristics outlined in the statement are more likely to be engaged and invested in their roles.
- Enhances Retention: Hiring for cultural fit and specific attributes can lead to higher employee satisfaction and reduced turnover.
Examples:
- Company wide: We want employees who are flexible, positive, team oriented and with a sense of urgency.
- Delivery drivers: We want drivers who are positive, even-tempered, safety conscious and who will provide friendly customer service.
- Leaders & Managers: We want creative problem solvers who can inspire others and strive to improve themselves and the company.
- Sales: We want salespeople who are resourceful, self-starters and who will close sales and build meaningful, long-term relationships.
