Your Recruitment Process -is it Boring or Creative?

Be Creative in your Selection- Shackleton

 

Lots of organisations, when they need to recruit employees, select the wrong individuals and or panels to conduct the interviews.  If your organisation really values its people, it would involve them more, in the selection process of new recruits.  I am sure at some point in time you have heard the saying, “who recruited him/her” or “how did they ever get this job”. Whatever you do, don’t leave recruitment in the hands of the Human Resources Department. Seek their advice but don’t make them responsible.

Take for an example, two positions become available in your Organisation.  The first position is for a new Managing Director (MD) and the second position is for a new canteen person.  What will the boring organisation do to recruit the new MD?  Possibly any or all of the following :-

  1. Seek the help of a HR Recruitment/Head Hunting Company
  2. Nominate a Board member(s) to oversee the process
  3. Set up a panel of Senior Directors/Chairperson to make the selection

What will the creative organisation do to recruit the new MD?

  1. Discuss with as many current employees as possible from different levels within the Company, to seek their advice on the type of person and attributes they would like to see in their new MD.
  2. Select several employees, at different levels (Managers, Canteen staff, Receptionist) within the organisation to carry out the interviews.
  3. Ask one or two clients, customers and suppliers to participate at particular stages.

What will the boring organisation do to recruit the new Canteen Person?  Possibly any or all of the following:-

  1. Allocate a Junior Member of the HR team to carry out the recruitment with the support of the Canteen Manager.
  2. Use a recruitment agency to select individuals for interview.
  3. Canteen Manager does the recruitment by themselves.

What will the creative organisation do to recruit the new Canteen Person?

  1. Discuss with as many current employees as possible from different levels within the Company, to seek their advice on the type of person and attributes they would like to see in the right individual.
  2. Select several employees at different levels (Board Member, Senior Managers General staff) within the organisation to carry out the interviews
  3. Ask one or two employees family members to participate at particular stages.

Why do organisations stay boring?  They lack the ability to be creative from within.  Think of all the time you waste, selecting the wrong person for the job.  You don’t have to look too far around your own Company to find a wrong person in a job.

Creative organisations take the time and select the right candidates. Your own employees will actually see how you value them.

Is your Company Boring or Creative?
