Core Beliefs:
- Hiring is the front door to your future success
- Employees today are saying: “Validate me as a person or lose me as an employee.”
Goal: To help you make hiring your competitive advantage
Fundamentally, does your company use the same hiring process as your competition?
For example: job descriptions, telephone and face-to-face interviews, behavioral based interview questions, background checks, etc.
What if you could keep those things – yet – gain a competitive advantage. How? The company hires fewer people because the new team members fit the culture, the job, the team and the manager. Advantage: More motivated and engaged employees.
Most companies have well thought out hiring methods…. BUT:
- Manager may be “doing their own thing”
- I’m a good judge of character” managers
- Managers who blame HR – “we would have hired better if HR had gotten us better candidates”
- New managers who are hiring before getting the company’s training
- Hiring seminars that focus almost exclusively on the legal with little emphasis on strategic hiring methods
- People are promoted because of their longevity rather than their ability to select, train and motivate good people
How to Make Hiring Your COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
- Everyone on the same hiring page and accountable. There is a Mission Statement – Hiring
- Capture the manager’s strategic thoughts about the open position in writing with a signature before the process begins (15 minutes)
