This blog could be a gateway to better hiring ….. BUT
… that’s all down to what you do after you’ve read it!
Nothing in this blog will help you if you don’t help yourself. But if you’re open-minded and willing to learn, what we aim to do with this blog is give you an edge in your human resource work. If you’re like many of the other HR professionals and hiring managers in North America, you know just how competitive the employment landscape can be. Using behavioral science to help you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be isn’t just smart – it’s almost part of your job description – so use the tops in this blog to stand out from the pack. You can hire smarter, faster, and better for every role you touch – and it starts with behavioral science.
LET’S DIVE IN!
As a hiring manager, one of your most important responsibilities is assembling a high-performing team
The trouble is – we all know that a team’s success goes far beyond just hiring individual performers – you need to consider overall team dynamics, balance of personality types, density of skills, and how long folks are likely to stay. Then, as people leave, you can’t afford to wait for “the process” to take a few months until you fill the holes in your department. Overall, you just want effective hires who’ll fit in with the team and the company = and you want them now! Seems easy enough, right? So why doesn’t it ever work that way? To be honest, a lot of the time it comes down to overworked departments… and what mostly creates all that extra work? Lack of workflow and function AKA organizational bloat. You’ve heard this all before. I’m not saying anything new – but I’m about to tell you how – as an individual with hiring power – you can bypass a lot of the “status quo” that comes along with hiring and build teams designed to function harmoniously long-term no matter what the workplace culture. Are you ready for it?
IT’S BEHAVIORAL PERSONALITY TESTING!
We get it. You might’ve just rolled your eyes and groaned a little bit.
A lot of reasonable folks think of personality and behavior-based testing as the equivalent of those magic 8-balls we all played with as kids. The truth is a bit simpler than that, though – and it’s that personality drives behavior at work and home. So if you can effectively predict (based on science) how your hires will behave – you can build teams that work incredibly well despite the unique pressures and skill sets your specific organization requires—intrigued just a little bit? Chat with our team, and you can learn how leading an organization can structure teams across key departments like engineering, sales, finance, and more!
