Jesse Domingo HOW DO YOU GET...

…a JOB in a “traditional” world? Traditional people only sees the surface, thereby, missing the unusually great talents. This is for the simple fact that they just talk to the paper and not the person. They just browse the resume and not analyze the profile. Search sites are close to useless for the unconventional… for this time, recruiters just talks to computers. Obviously, the best ways would then be… through “networking” and self-promotion, like “blogs.” Clearly, a paradigm shift is neede… Continue

Muralidharan Chennai India Hiring from direct competition.... a few points...

While there is nothing wrong in competing for talent, and 'poaching'from your direct competition, there are some dont's - and there are very relevant to WOW the prospective employee..... 1. Never start with 'your company is in dumps...'. The candidate is willing to look at you precisely because of that... Re-iterate as to how life can be better in your place, rather than speaking the load of negatives about competition.... Reflects badly on the quality of the HR function...! 2. Engage only in a… Continue

Muralidharan Chennai India Right People in key seats… Generic characteristics (Courtesy: How the mighty fall by Jim Collins)

1. Right people fit with the company’s core values. Great companies almost build cult like cultures, where those who do not share the institution’s values find themselves surrounded by antibodies and get ejected like a virus. People often ask, “How do we get people to share our core values?”. The answer: you don’t. You hire people who already have a predisposition to your core values and hang on to them. 2. Right people don’t need to be tightly managed. The moment you feel the need to tightly m… Continue

Muralidharan Chennai India Who is your Captain Sullenberger?! - pointers to a passionate and engaged employee?

This was originally posted by me at tickledbylife.com On January 15th, 2009, Captain Chesley Sullenberger made an emergency landing of his 50-ton passenger aircraft, US Airlines Flight 1549 - softly gliding it onto the Hudson River in New York City, saving the lives of all 155 people on board. What he did was not only a feat, but also a testimony to his on-the-job skills, dedication and passion. Plain words would not suffice to express the feat of Capt Sullenberger. What are the odds that you… Continue

Brent Daily A Tale of Two Job Postings: Burger King vs. Murder Burger

We want to hire extraordinary people and yet if you removed the names of most companies from the masthead you'd be hard pressed to differentiate one job post from another. A tale of the tape comparison for identical jobs at two different burger joints. The first is from Burger King, the second from the aforementioned burger slingers in New Zealand called Murder Burger (yep, seriously). ...Continue reading at… Continue

Brent Daily The Lazy Art of Hiring

...We can all assess skills and experience by looking at a resume. And we can typically pick up on intelligence based on pedigree and some brief interviewing. But finding people that actually ‘fit in’ is crucial. How do we assess that? In the lazy, bureaucratic mindset we apply to hiring today it comes down to, at best, a ‘behavioral’ interview. But a prepared, outgoing individual can leap this hurdle. At worst we rely on our gut. If we aren’t completely revolted by the way the interviewee car… Continue
