Finding that perfect candidate for the job is much more than meeting basic requirements. A person who has consistently overachieved in their sales metrics may not be able to sell your product, a seasoned engineer may favor all the wrong technologies for your designs, the well-regarded nurse may be completely wrong for your patients. And, of course, someone who is new to support may be exactly what your customers need, and someone who has led teams in combat could be the perfect plant manager. The right job/task questions could set apart the candidate with generic talent from one who will thrive in your position, or help find that amazing diamond in the rough, or simply keep you from a hiring disaster. So, what are the right questions? Here are three steps to generating strong, insightful questions to evaluate candidates: #NoBias #TalentAcquistion #Hiringandpromotion

Just as a road needs ongoing maintenance and improvement, so too does your path to success. This doesn't mean relentless, nonstop work, but rather consistent effort and dedication towards your goals. This means that there's no fixed point at which you suddenly "arrive" at success. It's a constant journey of learning, adapting, and improving. Just like a road under construction, there will always be detours, bumps, and new things to learn and adjust to. Placing incompetent or unqualified individuals in Managerial, Technical or C-level positions is disastrous for your organization. Incompetent leadership leads to ethical lapses, poor product quality, customer dissatisfaction. It damages the organization's reputation, erodes stakeholder trust; and worst, cripples the organization's financial stability and long-term viability. Do remember, prevention is always better than cure. Implementing rigorous recruitment processes and conducting thorough background checks help organizations avoid the pitfalls of hiring the wrong people for critical roles.

Problem solving. Critical thinking. These are now cornerstones of high(er) end recruiting today. Expensive testing marks many application processes especially for consulting jobs, but what if a driving and parking exercise was actually Test #1 ? Would that short circuit most processes and reduce the need for paper, calculator, screen-based tests? To poke the bear, what if people who ace critical thinking tests on screen / on paper can't actually figure out how to get in or out of a parking situation? Should they be hired on and paid the big bucks anyway?

Thursday Thoughts Cold Calls - is it just me or does no one answer their phones anymore? Just curious ... BD - When reaching out to new clients via the phone(mobile or office) - what percentage of your calls are ending up in voicemail? Recruitment - When reaching out to candidates not expecting your call(either mobile or tapping them on the shoulder at work) what percentage of your calls are landing in voicemail? As a headhunter, our role is to identify and contact those candidates who are not actively waving their resumes all over the job boards and social media and most times the only place to contact them initially is their current place of employment. With that said, and "asking for a friend", what are your thoughts on recruitment on their company email if you can't reach them at their office? So, next time your phone rings, take a leap of faith and answer - you never know who/what is on the other end. As always, Happy Hunting!! #leadership #highperformingteams #robotics #roboticsengineering #coldcalls #headhunter #iiot #teambuilding #engineeringmanager #hiringmanager #manufacturing #automation #controlsengineer #automationengineer #controlsengineering #automationengineering #jamesmichaelgroup #rollingstones #getwhatyouneed #controlsengineer #automationengineer #controlsengineering #automationengineering #jamesmichaelgroup #diversity #hiring #toptalent #jobpostings #iiot #supplychain #coaching #q4hiring #2024hiring #skillsgap #softskills #secretsauce #timeisgold #hiringstruggles #culture #strategy
