For HR Managers – The HR Manager Toolkit

We recognise that it’s not always easy to attract and hire the right person for the job. Sourcing suitable, let alone high performing, staff is a huge challenge for small and medium sized businesses in Australia.

Many businesses are finding that their recruits aren’t meeting their expectations of performance or cultural fit.

Most managers, when asked to rate their team, will usually state that 25% are top performers, 50% are adequate and 25% are poor performers. Clearly there is an issue with a process when it delivers the right outcome (a top performer) only 25% of the time! It may be hard to face it, but there are inconsistencies in the selection process of most companies that wouldn’t be tolerated in other areas of the business.

Reflect for a moment on the last major purchasing decision you made, for example a Smart TV or car. It’s highly probable your decision was not solely based on intuition but that you researched and obtained as much data as possible on your potential purchase. Then, a combination of both research and data helped inform your final decision.

Why should the process be different when hiring someone for your business?

The good news is there are ways to improve your recruitment process and ensure you are doing the most you can to attract top performers for your business.

These days it’s not just about filling a role with the person that has the best university degree or the most highly regarded experience. In fact, many businesses are abandoning such methods in favour of a new approach of recruiting based on the person’s attributes and behaviours, and how they will fit within the team.

That’s where we come in.
