I asked Rich to provide perspective to who and what is getting the attention of employers. Here are some of the highlights of our discussion:to who and what is getting the attention of employers. Here are some of the highlights of our discussion:
1. A company’s resources were applied to identify the science of who and how to hire towards behavioral assessment, hard skill assessment, grade point average, philanthropic focus are considerations but intuition (or fit) captures the attention of hiring managers. Who can display the best personality fit culturally for the company and department during an interview
2. At Adecco, they put emphasis on culture. Less of the science and description, and more how the individuals personality works with the teamindividuals personality works with the team
3. With the competition as intense as ever and the access information through the web. Many people will fit the “skills” but few will complement the culture. What is the role? What is the make-up of the group? What is the value point for the leader of the Group?for the leader of the Group?
4. It’s a marriage and job seekers must consider if the company is a fit for them.
