Recruitment Success. The Synergy Organization

Your Challenges:

Most senior executives agree that:

The "higher up" people are in organizations, the more important their interpersonal and leadership skills become,

Over 90% of management terminations and resignations are the result of personality conflicts and poor "chemistry", and these are not because the person lacks enough technical expertise and "booksmarts",

People don’t change themselves to fit their jobs; rather, they tend to change their job responsibilities around to suit their own personal preferences,

Selection decisions often are made within the first 4 minutes of an interview, are made at the "gut" level, and it’s hard for most interviewers to remain objective after they’ve formed their first and lasting impressions of their candidates,

Candidates and employers typically "sell" themselves during interviews to each other- then reality sets in after the person is hired, both realize that they didn’t get what they expected from the other, and problems develop,

In today’s tight economy, organizations can no longer afford to make hiring mistakes with their leaders because the direct and indirect costs of a bad hire can easily exceed 3 times the person’s annual salary.

We have found that the most common challenges associated with hiring the "right person" are:

Deciding what you want the person to do,
Being confident that what you think you want in this person is really what you need,
Ensuring that you have clear and consistent expectations for this person from their primary constituents (so that they are not accidentally "set up" for failure),
Having a proven and consistent way to predict if a particular individual will succeed in the position, have the right personality, and be the right fit for the job,
Knowing the right questions to ask of prospective candidates,
Having information about what the immediate supervisor can do to facilitate this person’s transition and success in the position,
Avoiding embarrassing "I told you so’s" and being "second-guessed" by critical organizational leaders after you have made your hiring decisions, &
Knowing in advance what you can do to manage, motivate, and retain this person most effectively.
