How To Make Recruitment a Breeze!
Let’s face it … hiring the right employees can be a real pain in the butt!
If you’ve hired people before you’ll realize that …
- Each resume or CV you look at is nothing more than a carefully crafted document … designed especially to impress you!
- The interview process is often a time consuming task of listening to clever interviewees who are on their best behaviour and know exactly what to tell you to get the job
- At the end of it all you are either left scratching your head, going with gut feel, or flipping a coin. Either way you’re never quite certain you’ve made the right choice until months down the track.
Sure, it’s important to do your background checks and ring referees and past employers, but even if the candidate does have sufficient qualifications and experience, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will be great at their job.
If you want to make sure that the person you hire will be the best choice, then you need to know how they’ll behave in that role … before they start!
Just imagine how much time and money it would save if you knew:
- How the candidate is likely to behave in the job?
- How does the candidate fit not only the job profile but the culture of the organization as a whole?
- What motivates the candidate in his/her job?
- What tasks is the candidate likely to try and avoid?
- Who is the ideal manager for this candidate?
- Do they have the reasoning capacity equal to the job requirements?
- What are the behaviours required in this position?
- What is an appropriate behavioural profile for the position?
- What individuals profile best fits the team building requirements?
- How do the final candidates match the team requirements?
These are just some of the crucial questions that need to be answered if you are seeking to hire the best person for your company.
The sad fact is that the main reason why most people fail in their job is not because of a lack of professional or technical skills of the employee … but because of a poor job fit and lack of people and communication skills. Most employers, however, are not trained nor equipped to assess these more important behavioural requirements of a job. But …
That’s where the Extended DISC® Job Analysis recruitment tool comes in.
The Extended DISC® Job Analysis tool can help employers answer the question “What are the specific behavioural requirements for this job that will produce the desired results?”
Typically our clients know what skills and competencies are needed from employees to achieve success. However, when it comes to the behaviours, the issues become unclear and challenging.
What is Extended DISC® Job Analysis?
Job Analysis allows you to identify and to prioritise the behaviours for specific jobs that will produce the best results. The results are specific to your organisation. Job Analysis is designed to ensure that reasonable and realistic expectations are created and that all the different requirements of the job are clearly defined.
The Extended DISC® Job Analysis outcomes are then compared to Extended DISC® Personal Analysis results of any candidates being considered for the position. This is what many clients feel is the most valuable part of the recruitment package, because the Job Analysis then forms the framework to which Personal Analysis results are compared. This clearly identifies the development needs and best behavioural job fit for potential recruits.
How does the process work?
Extended DISC® Job Analysis is easy to use. As the employer you only have to answer a Job Analysis questionnaire. Typically, it takes only about 30 minutes to complete. The questionnaires are available for the following job categories:
- Leadership
- Sales style
- Customer service
- Management
- Information technology
- Project
- Administrative
- Training
- Team
- Entrepreneurial
Once the questionnaires are completed, Job Analysis will take care of the rest. It scores the report immediately. The behavioural requirements are stored in the system’s database to allow for an unlimited number of job requirement comparisons to individuals’ results.
What are some of the applications?
Some of the applications for Job Analysis in organizations around the world are:
- Creating job descriptions
- Leadership development
- Recruiting
- Management development
- Organization development
- Conflict resolution
- Coaching
- Restructuring job contents
Take charge of your organizations growth
Using this information we can filter candidates down for you and give you a sneak peek into how that person will handle the requirements of their job role into the future. Being pre-armed with this type of information puts the control of your organizations growth and direction firmly back in your hands.
But it doesn’t end there. For a little extra we can also sit down with the new employee and fully de-brief them on their own report! The benefit to you is that they will then know exactly what they can do to excel in their new job; how to best utilize their strengths and develop areas they find challenging; and how to communicate effectively to all types of people.
It really is powerful stuff that can get your new recruit hitting the ground and running, and minimize delay’s to your teams productivity. Not only does this save you time and money, but it also boosts employee job satisfaction and reduces staff turnover.
