Know Your Candidate
Know Your Candidate
A candidate seeking a job with your company is looking for an opportunity.
Yet, most companies and leaders totally miss the following point.
While the candidate is looking for an opportunity, he or she are also giving you an opportunity: the opportunity to use their unique talent to benefit your business.
How do you value this opportunity?
How do you make the most of it?
Start with Knowing Your Candidate:
Discover their unique strengths & talents
Identify the roles, jobs or projects where that person can contribute the most
Remember, every person — from any background — is actually giving you an opportunity as much as you might end us giving them one.
Look at this opportunity for what it could offer, and get the insight you need to value and make the most of it.
After all, that person already took the time to signal their interest in your company. That, in and of itself, is a meaningful signal.
Browse our employer programs and get to know your candidates.
And here’s our last point for this newsletter.
While many employers think of “screening out people” for lack of fit, smart companies dropped the “screening mindset” altogether, looking instead for the unique value each person offers. That’s why smart companies hire misfits.
Think of it.
