Everyone Needs A Little Attention, RECRUITMENT SKILLS, Need A Lot!

The key to unlocking an organisation's potential to achieve maximum performance is undoubtedly its people. Effective recruitment is the first step in building a winning team and if you want to save time and money then mastering recruitment skills will give you more than that!

• Are you a small audit firm with no qualified human resource manager or indeed a human resource department?
• Are you a consulting firm with a human resource department that still experience challenges in the area of recruiting?
• Is recruitment part of your duties even though you had no formal qualification on the area?
• Do you recruit employees on behalf of your clients?
• Would it be of any value to you to know how long someone is likely to stay with your company or whether they are a team player, despite of what they might say at the interview?

Why recruitment skills are important?

Knowing more on the area of recruitment will enable you to cut through the clever answers and polished performances of potential candidates to the real person underneath.

The knowledge you will gain will massively reduce the total cost of recruitment and the time taken to decide about the right candidate for any job in mind

Amongst other things by learning these skills you will be in a position to

• influence and persuade people
• read external signs of thinking patterns
• select the candidates with the 'right' profile
• recognise what motivate /de-motivates people
• become better at managing and appraising staff
• maximise people's potential by understanding what motivates them
• create advertisements that will specifically attract the right candidate
• generate a clear profile description of the kind of candidate you are looking for
• evaluate, score, and rank candidates or create a plan for transitioning the selected candidate into the organization
• interpret a candidate's non-verbal behaviour and use active listening, verbal devices, and non-verbal behaviour techniques to facilitate the interview process

Businesses are experiencing a huge problem - despite using the latest interviewing techniques, many still aren't satisfied with the people they end up recruiting and unfortunately it can take any time between two weeks up to three months to realize their mistake! The problem occurs because many candidates know what kind of answers interviewers are expecting and its no surprise to often hear the same response from every potential employee! If you truly measure the price of recruiting the wrong person for a particular role, taking into account recruitment cost, management time and advertising cost, it is rather alarming!

Meta programs are the answer!

In NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) there is a phenomenon called "Meta-programs". Meta programs are a set of advanced questions designed to help you understand easily and effortlessly whether the applicant is suitable for the job in mind. Using this special set of questions you can identify the profile of the candidate in less than 15 minutes and you could do this for as many applicants as you like and you will be glad to know that there is no per usage fee!

It only takes 16 hours to master these tools and this training is very useful for the partners or human resource managers as it gives them the extra tools they need on how to identify and recruit the right person for any job. No prior experience or qualifications are needed in recruiting people and the training counts as Continuing Professional Development. You can put these skills into use immediately!

The real person underneath!

The questions are simple and you can elicit the profile of someone purely conversationally! It comprises in total of 24 questions and some of my clients who have started using Meta programs, reported that it sometimes takes them less than 7 minutes to elicit the profile of a potential employee!

So if you employ people solely on the basis of their CV, gut feeling or references then think again! You may wish to talk to us in order to discover a formal interview process which has very specific questions laid out to elicit the person’s true traits and values.
