Hiring for TalentTM
Are you finding it difficult to reliably hire the right people? Would you like to better match your hires to the team? "People are hired for their skills and knowledge and fired for their behavior." - Lee Ellis, Leadership Freedom, Inc Experience and research shows that the Number One issue facing most companies is hiring the right people. Getting "Round Pegs in Round Holes" is the key to business growth and profitability. Further, there is plenty of independent research to show the cost of getting it wrong can be substantial, in many cases multiples of the person's salary. But who hasn't made a mistake at some point? After all you are making a decision about people and there are multiple dimensions to the hiring process, so to be successful at it requires strategy, focus and knowledge of people, and the right discovery tools. So, where do employers go wrong? Why does a candidate succeed in the interview and then not operationally perform? Do you have a truly reliable process for hiring talent? Do you have the insights to reliably predict their behavior once they are hired? The key to hiring success is being able to accurately identify the natural ("hard-wired") behaviors of the candidate, which are the source of their core talents. These talents are those predictable behaviors which consistently repeat themselves over time. They are instinctive and ingrained to the candidate. Further, these natural behaviors are key to the candidate's inherent strengths and also their struggles in how they operate. For instance, many candidates will say in an interview that they are organized, and it may appear on the surface they are. However, are they really naturally organized or is this a learned skill out of necessity which is not natural? The true behavior will emerge over time particularly when they are under pressure or stress. This is when you will see the person revert to what is natural for them to do. For a disorganized person they will start to work against what is ingrained for them. The same example can be applied to any other talent such as setting the agenda, communication, empathy or resourcefulness.
