How do you hire?
On July 19, 2009 in Thought for the Day
When you hire, do you always base your decision on a candidate’s skill and experience?
If so, you generally don’t hire the right person. Consider this. To perform at an exceptional level, your employees must be both good at what they do, and love doing it. Passionate performance is the key to great performance, strong results and customer loyalty. And just because an employee or candidate has experience in a particular job, doesn’t mean that he/she was good at it or loved doing it. The result is most likely just average performance. No business can survive with employees that do just enough not to get fired – average. Today, exceptional performance from each employee is required.
So in today’s intellectual workplace, it is critical to hire based on talents – the natural strengths and aptitudes (our core thinking); talents reflect our strongest performance areas. Employees who work in their talent areas out-perform all others because they are good at what they do and love doing it. Learn how to define the talents needed in each job, then source employees who have these talents. See how in Fire Up!
