Why You Should Hire For Potential To Secure Top Talent | Social Hire

Why You Should Hire For Potential To Secure Top Talent | Social Hire | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it
How do you ensure you don’t make a mistake when hiring your next employee? By focusing on potential, not experience....
Barry Deutsch's insight:

I do not lean toward measuring potential or behaviorial interviewing 101 that past performance is the best indicator of future performance. Many mistakes in hiring occur when we put too much emphasis on one area.

 

A better approach might be a blended tactic that includes 50% of interviewing to validate the ability to meet the job expectations (that's assuming you've defined those expections - which most managers DO NOT), AND whether they have the motivation, grit, drive/self-motivition and intellectual curiousity to have the potential to grow into something greater.

Why Your Training Is Failing... And How To Fix It

Why Your Training Is Failing... And How To Fix It | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it

It seems outlandish to consider that the amount spent by companies on training has risen steadily over the past decade, culminating in a whopping $70.65 billion spent on training expenditures by U.S. firms in 2016 alone. Yet with all that money spent training their workforce, very few companies actually take the time to look at the actual effectiveness of their training programs.

The Association for Talent Development reported 95 percent of training was enjoyed by participants, but only 37 percent of training resulted in participants learning the material, only 13 percent reached a level where participants applied what they learned, and a mere 3 percent of training reached a level where the organization felt an impact.

Barry Deutsch's insight:

One third of what I do is training (hiring, retention, and performance management). I do 50-60 talks a year for CEO groups and senior executive groups like YPO, EO, and Vistage. I also do the same presentation at larger management retreats, tradeshows, and conferences. In the last 20 years, I've probably trained over 25,000 CEOs and senior executives. I'm stunned to see a survey that shows only 3% of executives feel training had an impact. Either something is wrong with the training delivery or the process after the training to gain value/impact. Maybe it's a little bit of both.

Manager Interviewing Skills Cause Hiring Mistakes

Manager Interviewing Skills Cause Hiring Mistakes | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it
Interviewing remains the most popular assessment for employee screening, but the reliability remains low, often in the 50 percent range.


Ira shares an outstanding story that I see repeated over and over in the vast majority of companies - weak interviewing by hiring managers. This is one of the most critical failure points in the hiring process.


Most companies do a terrible job preparing managers and executives to hire effectively. In most companies, hiring is NOT a process, it's a random set of arbitrary meetings where each individual manager does interviewing in their own misguided way. The minute you turn hiring into a process, train all your managers, and put some rigor behind it - hiring accuracy starts moving up from the traditional low reliability level in the 50% range.

Hiring Frustration #4: NO Rigorous Process

Hiring Frustration #4: NO Rigorous Process | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it

"When you don't have a process, random results occur. Sometimes you hit the bulls eye, sometimes you don't". Is it worth taking the risk of missing targets, outcomes and results by letting managers do whatever they want in the hiring process?"

Barry Deutsch's insight:

A lack of a good rigorous hiring process results in outcomes that are comparable to rolling dice in Las Vegas - crapshoot hiring. Are you willing to bet your company on average and mediocre processes around talent?

Recruiting Social: Google+ Equals Candidates

Recruiting Social: Google+ Equals Candidates | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it
Google+, Google’s social network, allows for connecting with people based on interests and offers incredible opportunities for recruiting.

 

Although the author considers Google + to be an effective network for recruiting - I think it's a waste of time to use at this current stage for recruiting. There are much better tools where your investment of time can pay bigger dividends such as LinkedIn. Google+ may emerge in a couple of years as an effective tool - currently it is not useful for recruiting.

The 10 Best Interview Questions to Ask

The 10 Best Interview Questions to Ask | Hire Top Talent | Scoop.it
The best interview questions tell you about the person behind the resume – and speak to details not on a resume.


This is another post on what are the best interview questions to ask. Most of these posts focus on the traditional, standard, stupid, inane, canned, and silly questions that have no relevance to future success. For example, how can the candidate know how they can help your organization if you don't first discuss performance expecations. Secondly, asking deep value/character based questions about frustrations, motivations, feelings - will generate superficial responses until a high degree of trust has been established.


The one question I did like on this post was the one about "what will your former boss say when I..."
